The Stone Age is an episode of the British comedy television series The Goodies.

[edit] Plot

Graeme, who has been reading a book on the Stone Age, is convinced that there is an ancient tunnel underneath their office.

When the Goodies check out Graeme's theory, they are surprised to find (among other things) an extinct Tyrannosaurus Rex — following which the dinosaur's teeth clamp shut together, and the Goodies get accidentally trapped in the dinosaur's stomach.

Will the Goodies manage to escape, or are they doomed to remain trapped forever inside the stomach of their apparently long-dead host?
