So Primeval survives again
- Thread starter wamdue
- Start date
Actually there's still a Series of 6 or 7 episodes that hasn't aired yet.
Series 4 and 5 were commissioned together for a total of 13 episodes, only Series 4 (6 or 7 episodes) has aired.
Good for you, Sindatur wasn't and that's who I quoted and thus who I was replying to as he was under the impression no one had aired it yet.
I don't think S5 was on BBCA either. I have S4 on my DVR and never saw any mention of S5.
No, it wasn't, that's the ignorance I was speaking from.
Recently, I recall a thread announcing an airdate in the UK for S5, in Oct, I believe. We commented on how BBCA didn't even have an airdate lined up yet, and American stations announce far further ahead then UK do (Months in advance sometimes, therefore, the assumption by a few, me included, is we won't see S5 on BBCA until at least after the end of the year.). I didn't realize the upcoming announced date wasn't the initial UK airing.
so, it's not Primeval series 6, it's a new spin off series 1?
hope we get to see it...

im not exactly sure where you live "ConDem Nation" suggests UK, so im going to run with that, it says in the article I posted it will air on ITV.
Its also S1 of a spin-off, but obviously if it does feature characters from the UK show (and if the UK show is not bought back) it could be marketed by ITV as S6.
Of course S5 (aired on Watch) has a cliffhanger which may needs resolving.
Looking at the ratings for S4 on ITV, I would be surprised if the UK show comes back, ITV wont see the need to spend the money, when it already has Primeval:New World, which im sure they will be getting cheaper than any deal with Watch can make a new series of the UK show.
^It's apparently more of a reimagining than a spin off. They want "A younger, sexier cast" So I guess they're going for primary school kids or something.
I don't see why not. It was dire in its first incarnation and I can't imagine it got any better with time.
Series 2 was better with an arc, but not brilliant, 3 had a better arc but lost its way. 4 and 5 weren't good at all.
On the plus side given the aging population in the UK especially soon enough they'll pretty much only be making shows for the older viewer...
Series 25 of New Tricks anyone?
So given I didn't watch it on Watch, is Primeval s5 coming to ITV in October?

Just want to point out, I don't find primary school children sexy. I just meant to be younger than Connor, who was supposed to be a uni student in the first 2 series.
Well BBC One's average audience age is already something like 50 so I guess they reckon the audience are Dirty Old (wo)Men.
Nope, ITV haven't got any plans on when they'll show series 5 just yet. By the time they do you'll be able to get the dvds for a fiver already.
That's what came to mind too, and when SGU said they were going for a younger cast.
Wamdue's original post said that was ust a spin off which still supports some characters from the original series wandering through or setting up shop.
I like Primeval.
After the final episode there's full disclosure, no more secrets everyone short of Donna Nobel knows about dinosaurs and time portals now which means an international effort all of a sudden, not that several countries were probably engaging in their on programs to deal with the phenomonem.
I am such a whore.
