Primeval

[Larry]

Well I've seen the trailers and have to say they stink there is absoloutly nothing in to say what it's all about or even get me excited that it make me want to watch it ..

[Dirk Gently]

I was going to give this a chance & see what it's like. You never know, I might like it.

[Wayne]

I'll probably give a try, & then make up my mind if it's worth continuing.
If i remember.......
When's it on? It's not 'til next week is it?

Thanks Tim!

[Simon R]

Hannah Spearminty was born to serve the Daleks but I get the feeling we won't be arsed to watch this.

Knowing ITV they will show the first 2 episodes then relegate the remainder to ITV 4 at an unscheduled date

I will watch more out of curiosity and the fact that saturday night telly is rubbish

[Jonno]

I will watch because I like dinosaurs. However, having learnt earlier that one of the S Club 7s is in it, I have unfortunately put my boot through the TV screen!

[Milky Tears]

I love dinosaurs and S Club 7, but I still won't be watching it.

[Milky Tears]

I've changed my mind after discovering that there are loads of shots of Hannah Spearitt in her pants throughout the series!

I've no idea who Hannah Spearitt is, but that's sold it for me.

[Jonno]

What a pair of pervs you two are! Where's Dave Tudor?!

Wayne, she's the S Club 7 one I referred to earlier.

Off perving on OG, probably.

Oh well, she can't be any worse than Kym Marsh in Corrie.

[Milky Tears]

Primeval is going to be huge, isn't it? Schofield was bigging it up on This Morning during an interview with Spearritt (her baby hair really does make it look like she's going bald. ). He claimed it's perfect family viewing on ITV1 tomorrow night with The Pink Rink, Primeval then Ant&Dec and more Dancing On Ice. It can't really fail... unless it's complete bobbins.

[Paul Monk]

Isn't it just the plot of Invasion of the Dinosaurs strung out for a whole series and without the Golden Age stuff?

I'll watch it but I'm not convinced it'll be good.

[Rob McCow]

Are we supposed to be slagging this off yet?

[Pip Madeley]

This isn't OG, son.

[Dirk Gently]

The opening theme is a bit 'Torchwood' isn't it?

[Rob McCow]

This isn't OG, son.

Son?!? Watch it, Pipsqueak.

Ahnnah Spearitt is the best ever ex-pop star to turn up in a Saturday evening action serial.

Nah, Billie wins that one ("Day And Night" beats anything Blake'S Club Seven ever did).

[Rob McCow]

It's just won a heck of a lot of points for the dinosaur attack on the kids bedroom. Superb stuff, especially when the dinosaur destroyed the hi-fi playing Kaiser Chiefs

Although Hannah did just say 'Is it real?'

[Dirk Gently]

It's just lost points for me for the Mother of the kid thinking that her son wrecked his own room! How absurd is that? I haven't got the strength to rip out a window let alone a 10 year old!

[Pip Madeley]

the dinosaur destroyed the hi-fi playing Kaiser Chiefs

They obviously had taste back in 65 million years BC.

[Paul Clement]

I thought that this made for an excellent first episode. The prehistoric Earth was well realised, although I did laugh when the soldier asked what the cause of death was after a cursory glance. It's certainly a programme that shows a lot of promise, and I haven't said that about many ITV programmes in the last few years.

[Rob McCow]

It was pretty good overall, with only the odd bit of utterly awful dialogue (I thought the EU Common Agricultural Policy was far fetched!) and over-directed moments. (It's a Cow! In a tree! It's dead! Look! Look at the cow! Jump cut, jump cut FLASH FLASH!) But we love that kind of stuff anyway.

When the dinosaurs were actually attacking, it was great, but the stuff in between wasn't so good. Will Doctor Cutter find his wife? Will Steven Hart pay us a fee for use of our names? Will The Kid's teachers believe in dinosaurs? Are Torchwood going to help them seal their rift in time and space? I'd love to know! Ish.
