'''''Primeval''''' ([[2007]] - ??) is a British television series from ITV.

The first season of ''Primeval'' lasted for six episodes.

== Overview ==

The premise of the series is that temporal anomalies are allowing creatures from the Earth's prehistoric past to reach the present. A group of scientists gather to investigate, and fall under the jurisdiction of the government, which is trying to keep the anomalies a secret.

There are three female characters in the main cast:

*Claudia Brown (Lucy Brown), a junior Home Office (government) employee
*Abby Maitland (Hannah Spearritt), a young zookeeper and reptile specialist
and
*Helen Cutter (Juliet Aubrey), a paleontologist who disappeared eight years before the present time frame of the series

The stories focuses much more on the male characters, however, and the female characters rarely [[The Rule|interact]] with each other. Nick Cutter's search for his wife is central to the plot, whereas Claudia Brown and Abby Maitland are more peripheral, being (respectively) usually overruled by her male hierarchical superiors and paired up with a young male geek who has an unrequired crush on her.

The series has also drawn criticisms for its homogeneously White casting, and comparisons with ''[[Doctor Who]]'', which some see ''Primeval'' as attempting to rival (both shows feature [[time travel]] as part of their premises).
