Primeval is an absolutely brilliant new adventure series over here in the UK (and its getting a cult following worldwide so quickly!)
The basic plot revolves around a man, paleontology Professor Nick Cutter (Douglas Henshall), whose wife went missing - and now legally declared dead - eight years earlier after going to investigate an unusual phenomenon in London's Forest of Dean. When Nick and his research assistant and best friend, Stephen Hart (James Murray) are approached with information about a monster sighting by enthusiastic conspiracy nut and paleontology student Connor Temple (Andrew Lee Potts! Yay!), they discover creatures from another time living and breathing in this one! And when zookeeper & resident reptile expert Abby Maitland (Hannah Spearritt) and Home Office governmental representitive Claudia Brown (Lucy Brown) are added to the mix they become embroiled in one of the most significant, and secret, scientific investigations in human history.
If you're a fan of dinosaurs, action, romance or humour, you'll love it, I'm sure. And Primeval holds a special meaning for me 'cause its where I first noticed Andrew - who can't help but love a grinning super-intelligent yet socially awkward geek - without whom, I'd never have stumbled across the wonderful Stranded and all you lovely fellow fans out there! *lol*
If you get the chance, I'd definitely recommend this series...and I'm itching to see series two which is now filming. Theres a section in the "links" area if you want to check out the official and unofficial sites...and more will be added soon.
