PRIMEVAL

Currently running on Monday evenings at 21h20 on BBC Entertainment (channel 120 on DStv) is the ten-episodes Series 3 of Primeval.

This monster hit roars back onto the screens for a third series, and the action continues to evolve with more new faces joining the team. Still reeling from Stephen’s death, and with the depth of Helen’s betrayal now revealed, Nick Cutter must fight to re-focus his embattled team in order to continue the work they started. But as the anomalies continue to present an unrelenting series of threats, the task at hand seems almost insurmountable.

With events getting even wilder, creatures steeped in ancient folklore begin to appear, and it becomes clear that the origins of myths and legends are linked with the mysterious anomalies. From a Pristichampus, a creature which bears a striking resemblance to the ancient Egyptian crocodile demon Ammut, to a Dracorex being hunted by a deranged Knight who is convinced it’s a dragon he must slay, it seems there’s no limit to the dangers spilling through the anomalies.

But it’s not just the creatures the team has to contend with. The cloak of secrecy behind which they have been working is beginning to slip - as deadlier creatures continue to rampage through the anomalies, questions are being asked as the conspiracy spreads its net ever wider.

The cast includes Douglas Henshall as Professor Nick Cutter, Jason Flemyng as Danny Vernon, Lucy Brown as Jenny Lewis, Hannah Spearritt as Abby Maitland and Andrew Lee Potts as Connor Temple.
