Just watched the first episode of Primeval. Hmm, The X-Files (the lead character even has a family member who vanished in mysterious circumstances) meets Jurassic Park (academics versus “dinosaurs”).
Fairly predictable stuff all round. The creatures are presented in a now-familar fashion - on the technical side this is from many of the same people as Walking with… and Prehistoric Park - and it doesn’t look like the plot is going to find a cliché it doesn’t like.
Oh well, there’s nothing else on the telly on a Saturday evening for the next few weeks. Let’s see, six episodes takes us to March 17th and the 24th is the rumoured start date for Doctor Who. Not taking any chances with the ratings on this one are we ITV?
