The novel Bleak House begins thusly: "Michaelmas Term lately over, and the Lord Chancellor sitting in Lincoln's Inn Hall. Implacable November weather. As much mud in the streets as if the waters had but newly retired from the face of the earth, and it would not be wonderful to meet a Megalosaurus, forty feet long or so, waddling like an elephantine lizard up Holborn Hill." This makes Bleak House one of the first works of fiction to reference a dinosaur, though its imagery is based on an infamously inaccurate reconstruction of the creature. The line about Megalosaurus appears nowhere in the miniseries.
