First published 2009. Words by Tim Worthington. When
your big list of Things You Need To Write is headed 'SATURDAY - DINOSAURS', it
can mean one of only three things - either that there's been a strange
resurgence of interest in Simpsons-riffing early nineties Jim Henson-sponsored
puppet satire Dinosaurs, or that it's time yet again to scoff at Jon
Pertwee's vehicular vanity and complain about one of the most intelligent and
thought-provoking Doctor Who scripts
ever being rendered a laughing stock by 'special' effects that were lazy and
rushed and generally rubbish even for 1974, or something that falls somewhere
between the two. Ish. Yes, Primeval is back, and in the grand
tradition of evolution it's looking like a very different show these days...
