Premise Andy's Dinosaur Adventures is a BBC dinosaur history series for children. It stars Andy Day as the main character (Andy) who works at the National Museum with his co-worker Hatty (Kate Copeland). They work hard to get the museum ready for visitors who are always shown to be children. In each episode, they are shown preparing the newest exhibition before the museum opens and each time a mishap occurs that threatens to delay the opening of the exhibition or to leave the exhibition without a proper display. At this precise moment, the Museum's grandfather clock, which has the ability to go back in time, starts to chime. Andy knows this secret and runs to the clock to go back to the time of the dinosaurs to retrieve whatever is needed for the exhibition. When it's time to return to the present time, Day says: "Time to head back!"
The clock used in the series can be seen in the Natural History Museum between the Central Café and Hintze hall. The building used for external shots is Victoria Rooms, Bristol UK. Internal sequences are filmed at the Natural History Museum.
The series premiered on 17 February 2014 and is available on Xfinity and CBeebies networks.
