Interesting start; a little too early to say whether or not it's going to be any good, but it didn't stink.

I am rather hoping that the cuddly dinosaur, Rex doesn't turn up too much. It looks far too much like a marketing opportunity and is far too cute and the face just a little too cartoony for comfort. Look for wackiness and more 'stuffed shirt gets his come-uppance' gags courtesy of Boxy Rex the Friendly DinosaurTM.

Let's see what we get next week.

IT was utterly rediculous.

The blonde bird was cute but aside from that not many redeeming features.

Ripped off plots from how many other series?????

We laughed lots so that's ok.

As one of the old producers of Dr Who once said, "You need a story. It doesn't have to be your own story"

Was it me or did the incidental music sound like the theme to torchwood ?
It as ok laughable nonsense. Better than most of the tripe served up by ITV1.

Who knows it may lead to them commissioning some good stuff....or even improving Primeval.

Did anyone notice how the lead's jacket is taken from an WWII German Infantry pattern withtwo silly bottom pockets on the rear of the jacket?!

I kind of agree. I thought is was a bit silly but watchable. I agree the little cutey dragony thing was irritating. I'll watch it next week to see how it develops though.

I thought it was absolutely rotten! The storylines were laughable, the concepts were unoriginal, the acting was far from perfect. The idea that you could crash a 4be4 into a hulking great dinosaur and walk away from it with barely a dent in the paintwork was ludicrous.

Not worth watching again, imo.

My suspension of disbelief failed utterly when the cuddly dinosaur bobbed along to the elevator music.

I never really got it back.
