So, did anyone else see "Primeval" on Saturday? You know, that new ITV sci-fi thing with Douglas Henshall and that blonde girl off S-Club, that's being billed as "the A-Team with Dinosaurs"?

The cuteso dinosaur that the wee kid had found was completely Disneyfied.

Don't worry, they are mostly for Chinese doctors. Called Ho. And for some dude's massaging system

And this, which is just phenomenal. An Ali G guide to AIDS, or something.

It's the kind of thing you could easily nitpick to destruction (and I'm sure people will whle watching it every single week), but it was a good, breezy watch. I was entertained. That's about all there is to it, really.

against my better judgement i'm watching the second one. or kind of half-watching. apart from anything else it's rubbish because it's not scary, the monsters are all cute...

oh god script is fucking AWFUL

I love this show against my better judgment. Dougie Henshall continuously looking perturbed, great big fuck off insects, Hannah S Club in her underpants dancing to Primal Scream, what's not to like?

It's really quite bad, yet still I watch it! This may be because I have been yearning for an early Saturday evening sci-fi programme since Dr Who finished, and will watch any old tosh until it returns.

Disappointed they didn't step through the time-gate thingy. Spose the budget doesn't stretch to them doing that every time. Bah.
Not very good this one. And what's the point of adding this sci-fi geek nerd character? What can he do? "If I die I want to be buried with my Star Trek The Next Generation Top Trumps cards" (*slaps forehead* argh!).

Strange choice having the Editors' "All Sparks" on the closing credits as well. And all the indie-type music throughout, which must be their way of making it a "cool" programme.

front page of the metro is pretty desperate today: s.thing like "DUH YOU IDIOT THE T-REX WASN'T IN THE JURASSIC ERA", directed at gorgeous pouting whatshername from 'primeval'.
