As a big fan of Primeval (even after the lovely Douglas Henshall's character was killed off) I was looking forward to the new series this week as mentioned in the tv mags. Imagine my horror when I found out that it's on Watch - only accessed on Sky or Virgin! Now that's mean and very inconsiderate to all Primeval like me who have freeview!
I'm not a happy bunny!!!
If it wasn't for Watch (a brand of UKTV, i.e. BBC and Virgin Media) there would not be a series 5 (or 4) of Primeval. ITV cancelled the show in 2009 and series 4 & 5 have been filmed because UKTV entered into a co-production agreement.
ITV were allowed first run of series 4 last January and Watch gets first run of series 5.
Quizzy.....are you really a vampire?? and do you sparkle in daylight? I am also fed up with terrestrial and freeview channels advertising programmes which are on Sky and such. I know, I know, I should not be such a tightwad and just bite the bullet and buy Sky but my OH is sports mad, and I know I would not get a look in!
I know what you mean bimbo. It's so frustrating but we had sky years ago and a lot of the stuff is rubbish for what you have to pay, and no, I am not a vampire and I don't sparkle, I just happen to be madly in love with Edward Cullen. Mmmmmmm
