Primeval (2007-ongoing)

[Shonokin]

I mentioned this briefly on MZ but felt it should have its own thread here. This is an ITV series that started last fall in Britain that features a team of researchers who investigate time anomalies which tend to bring prehistoric critters into the 21st century. Some episodes have creatures from the distant future as well.
I'll cut to the chase right here with a list of the critters, along with pics.

I think the effects group is the same one doing a lot of the Doctor Who CGI.

Watched the first 3 episodes so far and it's not bad. It's a bit like Torchwood (but without the stupid forced drama or stupid trying too hard to be adult feel) mixed with a dab of Quatermass, plus the nasty monsters.

The prehistoric beasties are all very well realized. The Mosasaur in ep three is 20 times better looking than the similar type critter in Dinocroc.

episodes can be found on stage6 and Guba.com
