Does anyone else watch this? I've just watched through the first season and I can't get enough of it. It's such an original show and the characters are awesome. It seems like we brits are fantastic at sci-fi after all. (not counting doctor who of course.)Please do me a huge favour and help me be with the love of my life.

I love this show. I can't get enough too.
At first I had trouble to understand the characters accents. I find it easier to understand american english.
I am thinking about buying Season 1 on DVD. Having seen the first two eps of Season 2 howeverSpoiler:I miss Lucy Browns character from Season 1. I hope she comes back.

The "just different" part bugs me a bit. Because it means that her backstory is gone.
I must say their new Headquarters are great. The Home Office was a nice set but it seemed so small and crowded. The ARC however is a great set. It looks more theatrical/cinematic because of its size. They have outdone themselves.

Apologies to non UK members who most likely wont have seen or heard of this show.
For those of you in the UK, who has watched the show? What do you think of it? How does it compare with other sci fi that you watch?
OK for those who dont know what i am talking about, Primeval is an ITV series shown on saturday nights. the basic idea is that there are temporal gateways, know as 'anomalies' opening up all over present day britain, linking the present with various points in prehistory. Creatures from these vaious periods in time frequently come through to our time and wreak havoc. The main human characters are a rather mis matched team who have become experts in the anomalies and the creatures that come through them and strive to stop the creatures and if possible send them back to where they came from. On top of all this we have a government agency doing it s best to keep the anomalies and the creatures a secret from the general public (sound familar?). Plus you also have the inevitable sub story lines about the team and thier lives.
Follow this link for more. I have only given a very rough outline here:

I wasnt sure about it at first but season 2 is nearly at an end and i am still watching so it must be good!
People say the show is Doctor Who meets Jurassic Park. I disagree. it a more Torchwood meets Jurassic Park with a touch of Stargate thrown in for good measure. In fact I can see quite a lot of Stargate influences in the show: Portal to another world, government cover ups, even dark forces at work behind the scenes, as well as the team and its dynamics (although this is common to other shows as well).
