Primeval is a UK family show (which means that it is shown during the Saturday night teatime, same as Doctor Who, and is aimed at both kids and adults).
Basically, rips in time and space - called anomalies - have opened up, allowing creatures from the past and the future into our time.
An intrepid bunch of academics end up forming a team, under the umbrella of the Home Office, to investigate the anomalies.
It is fun, silly, sometimes makes absolutely no sense, and have hugely slashable characters. *veg*
There have been 3 seasons so far, the last showing in 2009. It got cancelled - leaving some characters literally up a tree in the Cretateous! - last year due to the financial crisis. But money from the BBC and other financiers means it has been revived for 2 more seasons, to start showing again in 2011.
Everyone heaved a huge sigh of relief. It was a strange decision to cancel it in the first place as it had been a very good ratings success, but was expensive due to the CGI.
