The BBC has released the first images of a legendary TV show set to make a roaring return after a huge 25 years off screens.
Walking With Dinosaurs, an iconic documentary series that wowed viewers back in 1999, will stomp back onto television in a new re-imagined six-part series later this year.
The original show explored the world of dinosaurs with impressive computer-generated imagery and animatronics.
Now BBC Factual has released three jaw-dropping pH๏τographs from the natural history show that will capture a brand new audience a quarter of a century after the first.
One image shows a trio of Albertosauruses standing tall in what appears to be a dense woodland area.
They each have two small arms, strong back legs and are able to reach speeds of up to 30 miles an hour – making them the fastest to appear on the series.

Like their relative, the Tyrannosaurus rex, Albertosaurus were ᴅᴇᴀᴅly and are believed to have hunted prey in groups.
Due to fossil evidence providing close-up details of the species, the BBC have given the Albertosaurus fur-like feathers.
Another pH๏τo features a young and an adult Pachyrhinosaurus gently nuzzling one another.
Unlike the Albertosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus is a plant-eater and is closely related to Triceratops.
The image shows both of the dinosaurs with a thick slab of keratin covered bone on their noses which is used in combat between males.
The third image is a close up of another Albertosaurus, showing off the detailed scaly texture of the dinosaur’s skin, feathered head and its beady eye.
The pH๏τographs offer a glimpse into the impressive new series and what it could include.
The original popular show Walking With Dinosaurs, pictured, is finally making a comeback
Every episode of the revived show will follow the dramatic prehistoric story of an individual dinosaur – the remains of which were discovered by talented dinosaur hunters, according to the BBC.
With state-of-the art technology, the dinosaurs’ tales will be brought to life as scientific methods reveal details on their lives and deaths.
The first episode of the original in 1999 drew an enormous 15 million viewers, which made it the most watched science TV show during the 20th century.
Walking With Dinosaurs went on to scoop two BAFTAs and three Emmy Awards for its success.
Jack Bootle, BBC Head of Commissioning, Specialist Factual, previously said: ‘A whole new generation of viewers is about to fall in love with Walking With Dinosaurs.
‘The original series was one of the most exciting factual shows of all time, and this reinvention builds on that amazing legacy.

‘Each episode is underpinned by the very latest science but is also filled with drama – making this a series for both dino lovers and people who just want to be told a great story.’
Andrew Cohen, Head of BBC Studios Science Unit, added: ‘It’s the ultimate dinosaur show, where you’ll be hiding behind the sofa one moment and having your mind blown the next.
The prehistoric world meets premium documentary production, like never before.’
Walking With Dinosaurs is coming to BBC iPlayer and BBC One.
