How come I didn't know that there was going to be a new series? I thought that it had all been cancelled!
However - Saturday 1st January 2011 at 7:30pm on ITV1 - new series Grin

Oooh - I thought it was cancelled as well - although it did leave characters stranded in the past.

MrsGuyOfChristmasBorn · 21/12/2010 18:43

ooh, goody - I thought they ran out f money and cancelled it. Love the hamminess - right proper family sofa entertainment!

SproutsMakeTortoiseFart · 21/12/2010 18:44

Another one who thought they had cancelled the series. DS1 and DS2 are happy now! Grin

Fans saved it and Watch TV agreed to help finance it.

The new series trailer looks pretty good Xmas Grin

midori1999 · 21/12/2010 23:02

My DC will be thrilled. I have to admit, I quite like watching it with them too. Smile

UnquietDad · 21/12/2010 23:04

Is the feisty blonde bird from S Club Jailb8 still in it?

TwoIfBySea · 21/12/2010 23:06

Fantastic, I have dts some Primeval goodies for Christmas as well as they adored the show. I knew it was coming back but not that soon - just early 2011.

SantaClausImWorthIt · 21/12/2010 23:07

I thought it had been cancelled too - all I can say is 'hurrah'!

Bring it on! Xmas Grin

UnquietDad · 22/12/2010 00:26

It was cancelled, but unusually for TV got a reprieve. Possibly because ITV have little else SF/fantasy/adventure-wise to combat "Doctor Who"/"Torchwood"/"Merlin" - and the BBC are starting "Outcasts" soon as well!

hattymattie · 22/12/2010 08:56

I have to say though Primeval did go down hill lots without Nick Cutter and the other sexy guy who got eaten by velociraptors (excuse spelling).

Katisha · 22/12/2010 08:59

Yes they can't rely on that drippy bloke in the hat to keep the ahem whole family interested...(ie mums.)

Idontknowhowtohelpher · 01/01/2011 17:53

Just a little reminder in case anyone is interested...........................
and part two is on tomorrow night! I do hope I'm not disappointed.

Watching it now! Am so pleased it's back on as DS loves it. Definitely not the same without Nick Cutter - he was gorgeous.

ilythia · 01/01/2011 19:46

Yay! And becker is still in, that makes up for losing cutter...

IShallWearMidnight · 01/01/2011 19:46

we stopped watching a couple of episodes into the last series (when they refused to explain then ending of the first series - wasn't the high tech Anomaly Centre from a different timeline?) bu apparetnyl it impoved. Did I miss much, nad is it worht gettign back into (and trying to track down the eposides we refused to watch missed? And is there any male totty?

IShallWearMidnight · 01/01/2011 19:46

aplolgies for rubbish typing and lack of previwing btw

JoBettany · 01/01/2011 19:59

Definitely Becker has potential. New guy looks a bit like a whiskery potato (IMO).

Furball · 01/01/2011 20:29

lol abby playing s club 7 music

JoBettany · 01/01/2011 23:48

I am liking Becker's tight black t shirt.

Kept expecting abby to start dancing!

hattymattie · 02/01/2011 08:40

Abby must've had a mascara in her handbag in the cretaceous! Connor seems to have improved over one year as caveman! We're keeping watching tonight!

2shoes · 02/01/2011 09:58

who was Danny
I just can't remember who the hell he was

Katisha · 02/01/2011 10:02

Oh yawn zzzzz more disfunctional team antics and possible fifth columnist etc etc.
Hope it gets less predictable.

JoBettany · 02/01/2011 14:56

Was Danny not the one who joined after Nick Cutter left? He was a police officer and drove around on a motorbike, spent ages trying to get the 'gang' to take him seriously... I think he was only in the last series. I did not find him easy on the eye!

I do think it's vitally important that if TV is offering family entertainment that there is at least one hot guy to stop me falling asleep and ruining it for my DS.

ilythia · 02/01/2011 15:59

Danny's the random one from Guy RItchie brit flicks who came in after his brother's death from years ago was found to be anomaly related.

I love it because it's such drivel, but at least it's diverting and entertaining drivel. And Ben Miller is hilarious.
