> Time travel, dinosaurs and the BBC logo will draw loads of sci-fi fans.
Blend the time travel from Doctor Who with the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park and the result is this latest import from the British sci-fi factory. Primeval, which originally aired on ITV in England in 2007, has made its way to BBC America and now a DVD release. When England is threatened by massive dinosaurs that arrive through holes in the time-space continuum, Professor Nick Cutter (Douglas Henshall) and a team of scientists are called to help. Cool CGI effects for the kids and real characters for the adults deliver something for the whole family to enjoy.
Shelf Talk: With Primeval’s comparisons to Doctor Who, growing online presence (including pages on MySpace and Facebook) and marketing at festivals such as this year’s Comic-Con, sci-fi fans will get on board with this title in no time. Feature it prominently next to Doctor Who and other dinosaur-laden titles.
