Dinosaurs live again

[angelophile]

I find myself pleased by the news that after the sudden axe a few months ago, Primeval has been saved from the scrapyard by a deal which sees ITV sharing the bill for two new seasons with digital channel Watch, with some of the cost being born by BBC Worldwide as well. (Curious to see the BBC paying for one of their rival's big hits, but they hold the worldwide distribution rights, so financially it's a sound deal.)

Apparently Andrew Lee Potts, Jason Flemyng and Hannah Spearritt are all signed up to return to the show.

I'm glad about this because A) The show had stepped up its game dramatically with the arrival of Jason Flemyng and B) They left the damn show on a cliffhanger. Oh and C) It brings hope for other popular sci-fi that the axe doesn't have to be permanent.

The only bad thing is that the new eps are delayed until 2011, which is a long gap between series.

Demons, thankfully, isn't returning.

I don't know, I've never got into Primeval, though I'm totally into dinosaurs. Demons was dreadful.
Still waiting for any word on Beautiful People.

I loved primeval...this is great news...
These were the three best characters anyway...(and Rex)...
Looking forward to it now...
And yes...series 3 was the best (arguably)...and I need that cliffhanger resolving...
