The Dinosaur Box

A breathless 80-minute gush about Primeval


Listen Later

In our pilot episode of The Dinosaur Box, Tom and Darby kick things off with a beloved paleo drama that ripped the boundaries of space and time to shreds. Taking a concept that could so easily not have worked, Primeval instead became the show that forced Doctor Who to share the late-2000s British sci-fi landscape with its colourful cast of characters, imaginative twists on its already imaginative premise, wackily weird creature designs that would make Tim Burton or Guillermo Del Toro applaud, and a surprisingly sweet, genuine love story (yes, for real). Come through the anomaly with us as we look back on the show that defined our childhoods as dinosaur nerds and made everyone watching think 'Hey, Brits can do good paleo fiction too."

Note: This episode was recorded before the release of ARK: the Animated Series and Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, hence why we refer to both of those shows in the future tense.
