Primeval was seen as ITV’s response to the BBC’s successful reintroduction of Doctor Who into the Saturday night family science fiction schedule. And while the show never grabbed me enormously - though I do admit to at least flicking through most episodes to see how they could possibly introduce another CGI variant of a dinosaur - it was pretty successful with audience, with the latest series averaging 4.5m viewers (23.25% share). It was even announced that a Primeval film is being made in the US.
However, ITV have today confirmed that they won’t be making a fourth series of Primeval stating:
“high quality drama remains a key part of the ITV schedule, although our current focus is on post-watershed production.”
So the dinosaurs are dead at last. Let’s hope Doctor Who and Torchwood don’t suffer the same fate.
