Primeval
Primeval.
Not bad, Not bad
To be honest, I am easy sell here. I got the Dinosaurs spotters guide for Christmas.
Well the series is based on a simple premise. Dinosaurs in 2007. Slipping through a portal in time, and probably space. A team lead by a Paleontologist, Nick Cutter, whose wife disappeared a reptile specialist, Abby Maitland. Cutters students Are set up by the Home office. To investigate the problem. Why are Dinosaurs and other extinct fauna, tearing across the country
Well it has some nice touches. A previous episode, has a plesiosaur haunting, a swimming pool.
SPOILERS
(The team, are brought by Cutters ex wife, to a football stadium. Where a portal is about to open, next to a pride of sabretooths. (I am pretty sure sabretooths were solitary ambush hunters) But lets not be snippy. Anyway, Sabretooths and London in the same sentence. Is not something that the Home office cares to hear. So, Mrs Cutter, is released to the care of the Primeval team. So they can find the Portal, and shut it down.
In the meanwhile. Abbie, the Ex S club 7 star. (Hananh) has a subplot with Tom. Tom needs a place to stay, while Hannah, has a room, and is hiding a cute small dinosaur. Tom hitches a lift to Abbie's flat.

In the company of Conor and Duncan. Geeks, Nerds, Boffins oh my! .
Conor and Duncan, C&D have realised Tom is up to something. So they slip a GPS chip in a Roswell keyring C and D are conspiracy buffs
The portal, is at a soccer stadium. either the New Den, (Millwall), or Loftus road (QPR) The portal, the team is looking for, is hidden, behind a freezer. Or course no one is eager, to open a door, on which the other side lurk Tigers. Mrs. Cutter takes advantage of the confusion. BTW earlier Angela had a knife, which she used to unbolt a freezer. Do people under arrest often get given weapons?
Cutters Missus has had a trick up her sleeve. When Tom, is commenting on the meat pies. Mrs. C screams, hide the pies. The meat will attract the stabbing toothed predators.
With Cutters wife gone through the portal, which leads to a plain, full of portals. A plague of Dodos, is let loose on the kitchen. One swallows Tom's keyring
(There is a cute scene here, mirroring the scene with the raptors and the children in kitchen in Jurassic park) Here, the people chase the newly reborn re-stinct? things.
C&D have been observing this from outside. A dodo, manages to slip outside. Duncan and his pal, slip the Dodo into their van, and they drive away. Hoping to find the scoop of a life time, and stick it to the man
After the Dodo Japes. The primeval team, realize they are a Dodo down. Well they decide to give it a decent send off. Autopsy.
Well Conor and Duncan, have managed to take the Bird back to their flat :) Things are looking up for them. They will be able to forget their student loans. Life will be good. Who cares if the Dodo get sicks, or wrecks and MP3 Player.
Back in the lab, the Dodo is sliced and diced. It was still kicking, and that was more then just result of exposure. To a magnetic field. (These are side effects of the portals)
Its a nasty parasite
Its really bad news. This Parasite, does not keep its host jones-ing it, burns it out. Its spread by biting
At Conor and Duncan's apartment. Dodi, the Dodo- Is going ape. The Avian Dinosaur is getting more and more aggressive. The Dodo breaks the TV, and then it bites Conor. Duncan, sticks the bird in a back bedroom as Conor tries to bandage his wounds.
Back at HQ, Cutter is arguing that his wife, did not try to send, the parasite infected birds. Prehistoric bird flues? back as an act of Malice.
Conor is getting worse. He is acting strangely, He is becoming more and more paranoid. He tries to attack Duncan. Who panics. Duncan goes to the University Library where he knows Tom will be. Tom alerts the team
Conor in a fit of desperation goes to seek help at a hospital, hiding under sunglasses. At the Hospital the wee Doctor from the North or Ireland. Puts Conor in an MRI for observation.
Cutters men. Abbie is at home. Get to Chez Connors to late. Duncan makes a comment about
Conor panics once he is shown how badly he is infected with the parasite he is Conor fleeing from the hospital Pausing only to bite the Doctor. The unlucky M.D will be told the truth about the affiar by the Primeval team. Before the sawbones, is sent to well a sawbones. Oh and a cover story will be released, it is a rabies outbreak- That will surely spook more people
Conor is still tracking the dead Dodo. The one that swallowed Toms keyring. Our antagonist heads off to find the ex pigeon. Conor is still convinced, that he could prove a government conspiracy. Indeed he is right. People are out to get him.
With his flashes of clarity. Conor makes it to Abbies flat. Where, he finds Abbie, and the dead dodo. Conor, possessed by the bugs. Threatens and pleads with Abbie. Drifting in out. Abbie takes him to the site of the Portal. She passes an armed guard and does not say.`` Help Help me''.
Well Abbie opens the fridge, but the portal isn't there. Conor believes its a trap. He and the fair Abbie argue, and then chase each other through the Stadia
Cutters team shows up. As Conor is grappling with Abbie on the pitch. Tom manages to get through to his friend. For a few moments. Reminding him, of evenings of BSG and Blakes 7. Conor finally lets go, and dies in his friends arms.
It is almost too much for Tom, but Dr Cutter has a nice wee chat. Tells him to stay on in the team. Its what Conor would have wanted.
The students flat, is too much for London. Its simply to pricy. So is Abbie's flat.
Conor in the hospital, shaking and hiding from the light. Might be lost on a few people. But its quite similar behavior to someone on heroin . I am not sure if this was deliberate
The Parasites, are not dissimilar to the G'ouald from Stargate SG-1. Surely on the Dodo's island, they would have become extinct. Unless of course they do, the Dodo's being the top of food chain in pre contact Mauritius.
Name check for Max Clifford. As the person to break the Dodo story with.- Clifford would later be disgraced

******************
Its not a bad series. The writing is a bit strange. Cutters speech to Tom, I am not sure if its either very natural, or bad writing
Hannah Spearitt has a nice phalange camelus
On the whole, not so bad. I will be interested to see how the story develops. Does the series ever go beyond the CGI?
