Its been called ITVs Doctor Who, it has its critics among the die hard Who fans I'm sure, but there is no getting away from the fact that Primeval is extraordinary and is excellent ( as is Dr Who ). I love the "Star Gate Meets Walking with Dinosaurs theme, it really works. I think they are equal, there is enough disparity in the two genre to not really be able to compare them too deeply, they certainly are not " like for like ".
I don't try to compare the two any more, just enjoy them for what they each are. I wont be missing Primeval any time soon, and I do very much hope there will be more of the same to come from this source in future years.
And NO !!
I am not THE Tim Haines.
I Wish !!!!
