Primeval is Back.....but for the Love of God Why???

Personally I hated this show with a fiery passion! My ex made me watch it and I endured it as he like it.  But after a while it just became increasingly repetitive.  Ooooh look there's another dinosaur/sabre tooth/other prehistoric animal trying to eat us all.  I felt it didn't really have any substance and was mediocre at best.  So when it disappeared from UK screens I couldn't have been happier, but apparently not one but a few dillusional idiots have decided to save the show.  Here's what scifiwire.com had to say about it:

Despite being a three-season hit in the U.K., Primeval was actually canceled last June due to the massive budget needed to produce the ambitious CG dinos and futuristic creatures for the small screen. But the series was saved from extinction by a complicated funding partnership involving five production entities (including BBC World), which ensures it will be back for a fourth and fifth season featuring a cumulative 13 episodes in 2011.

"It's the show you can't kill," co-creator and writer Adrian Hodges said with a laugh in an exclusive phone interview on Wednesday.

Hodges revealed that he and his team are already deep into the development of season four. "We are actually just casting two or three new major roles right now. We'll have them cast in the next week or two. We also have scripts for the first six episodes and storylines and treatments for the remaining seven. We start shooting in the middle of March."
