The show is comparible in theme to Doctor Who, although aimed more at a teenage audience and above, some of the monster scenes might scare the little ones. We've just finished airing the second series here in the UK.

BBC America has purchased the first two seasons of ITV's science fiction series Primeval.

Multichannel News reports that the broadcaster, which already screens Torchwood and Robin Hood, will begin transmitting Primeval in August.

BBC Worldwide America president Gareth Ancier hailed their new acquisition, which has already been commissioned for a third season by ITV following consistent ratings. "Primeval is a perfect addition to our successful Saturday night menu of sci-fi and adventure," he said. "We think our audience will be excited by the addition of this prehistoric thriller - one of the latest big hits from the U.K."

August!? GGggrrr.......

Well, this at least explains some of the recent BBCA commercials I've been seeing where Primeval clips are shown, and the name even listed but it isn't on their current schedule lineup.

I think there's only 6 episodes in the first series and then 7 in the second. They run in a timeline, not independent, so make sure you watch them in order.

Well, I must say, I've enjoyed them

I just saw the premiere of Primeval here in the States on BBC America.

My first reaction was "HHhhhmm.... looks like a Sci-Fi Channel movie." The reaction from the little kid in me was "Cool! Dinosaurs!"

It reminded me of a mixture between Land of the Lost mixed with a bit of Torchwood.

I have the DVR set to record the series so eventually I'll be catching up with you guys who have already watched it.

I already have the first two seasons on disk

With one episode left to air of Season 1 on BBC America, things are really heating up! With an alternate history timeline and a shadow organization within ARC revealed, the season closer looks like the future of mankind may be in danger.
