Primeval, Season 2

Primeval, season 2, ended on Saturday with a smorgasbord of CGI monsters, although all of them were the ones we've seen before, so it was a bit like a greatest hits.

With the whole arc tied up it's more obvious how inconsequential the story is: bad guy wants to rule the world so uses monsters from the future. Hmm. However that entirely misses the point that Primeval is excellent fun. It doesn't take itself too seriously, it has characters I like, it has monsters that don't look stupid, people die every episode (and random people minding their own business too) and it has some time shenanigans (with the potential for lots more).

The only downside is that this series there were no episodes with Hannah from S-Club 7 dancing in her pants. However I think Stephen was topless a few times? So that balances things up across the sexes. In fact Abbey as a character seemed a bit down and too serious this series, don't know what was happening there?

Primeval is family entertainment, something for everyone, and gives the kids something to play whilst Doctor Who is off-air ("Rargghh I'm a Sabre-Tooth Tiger!" etc.)

Another successful series.
