'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is a British science-fiction television programme produced for [[ITV]] by Impossible Pictures. ''{{PAGENAME}}'' follows a team of scientists tasked with investigating the appearance of temporal anomalies across the United Kingdom through which prehistoric and futuristic creatures enter the present, while simultaneously trying to stop the end of the world. ''{{PAGENAME}}'' was created by Tim Haines, who previously created the ''Walking with...'' documentary series, and Adrian Hodges. It ran for five series, originally broadcast from 2007 to 2011.<ref>Bassett, Sean (November 17th 2021).

==On TV Burp==
Clips from ''{{PAGENAME}}'' were featured on episodes of ''[[Harry Hill's TV Burp]]''.
===[[Episode 6.6]]===
Harry turns his attention to ''{{PAGENAME}}'' in this episode, broadcast two weeks after ''{{PAGENAME}}'''s premiere. He asks have you ever wondered what a robbery in a joke factory would look like. The scene then cuts to a clip from ''{{PAGENAME}}'''s [[w:c:primeval:Episode 1.2|second episode]], where [[w:c:primeval:Tom Ryan|Captain Ryan]] and his [[w:c:primeval:Special Forces|soldiers]] are being menaced by [[w:c:primeval:Protosolpugidae|Giant Spiders]] in the [[w:c:primeval:London Underground|London Underground]], a soldier tries to shoot them but the shot ends up being bounced across the room.


Harry introduces ''{{PAGENAME}}'', and is menaced by a Dinosaur growl sound effect. He says ''{{PAGENAME}}'' is ITV's answer to ''[[w:c:tardis:Doctor Who|Doctor Who]]'', noting "It's taken two years, but they've done it.". He explains it's premise is creatures escaping from the past to the present via an [[w:c:primeval:Anomaly|Anomaly]]. He says it's very frightening and that the special effects in ''{{PAGENAME}}'' are fantastic, well most of the time. The scene cuts to [[w:c:primeval:Abby Maitland|Abby]] holding [[w:c:primeval:Rex|Rex]] where Harry shouts "IT'S A PUPPET!" (Rex is actually CGI). Harry then holds a puppet of Rex. When he asks Rex if he's alright, Rex spits in his eye, Harry calls him "Spit the Dinosaur".
