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"?

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...

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'.
