I just found this clip from Primeval filming on youtube:

It shows an explosion and Abby and Captain Becker running, so it isn't all that interesting, but its worth watching. The clip is actually quite old, it being from August, so sorry for the lateness. I cannot wait for Primeval, its just over 2 months away now!
Here's another one, which seems to show what is in place of a dinosaur, running through an anomaly:

Connor Is Braver... Apparently.
Another post from digital spy, admittedly it does feel weird to be posting news:
Primeval star Andrew-Lee Potts has revealed more details about the sci-fi drama's upcoming fourth series.
The actor told SFX that his character Connor and girlfriend Abby (Hannah Spearritt) will initially feel alienated upon their return from the past.
He explained: "When they come back, they feel let down by the ARC system, because it's a new regime, and with us being the only originals left, we feel pushed away."
Potts added that Connor will be "a lot braver" after his experiences in the Cretaceous period.
"Abby's been training him to defend himself," he confirmed. "It's something we talked about, that he wasn't completely defenceless all the time, and they work together as a team now."
He continued: "You want to keep what the audience likes about [the characters] but we are getting older and we have to develop our relationship. If Connor was still the underdog all the time I think it would get a bit tedious."

I let out a little squee...
Yes I'm kind of sad, but I found this on Amazon... It's the Primeval Series 4 boxset which will be released on February 21st next year!! Its only about four months away! I'm not going to preorder it quite yet, and I would show you the picture they have but its just got a black background and the words Primeval Series 4, so I doubt it's the official cover.
Here's the link, if you want to preorder it now ;)
It can also be found on a number of other websites, but to be honest it's not all THAT exciting, although it is only 12.99!!! Ahem...

More Character Info
Got this off Digital Spy, as per usual, some stuff we already know, but heyho here's the article! My excitement is growing by the day! :
Primeval producer Tim Bradley has revealed details of the two new characters joining the show's regular cast.
He explained to SFX that field leader Matt Anderson (Ciaran McMenamin) would be "an animal expert".
"He's the sort of guy who's wrestled tigers in the jungle, but also understands the biology of them too," said Bradley. "He knows how to track a creature without killing it and like [former leader] Nick Cutter, he has the [knowledge of] science."
Bradley also described new recruit Jess (Ruth Kearny) as "very fun, down-to-earth and likeable".
"We very much wanted to make the ARC the centre of communications, so that when the team are out on the road, there would be someone watching everybody," he confirmed. "Jess really is very much the one who conducts the orchestra. She can run the ARC solo."

And...
I got this off SFX, is quite interesting, although its more of the same really:
ITV1’s dino drama Primeval was saved from extinction thanks to a co-production deal that sees ITV teaming up with UKTV, BBC America and German network ProSieben, to make 13 new episodes: the first seven will debut on ITV1 before transferring to UKTV’s Watch, with Watch having first dibs on the rest. In SFX 202 we talk t the cast and crew about where they will be taking the revamped series, are here are a couple of nippets to whet your appetite.
With most of the main characters stuck in the Mesozoic era, when the show returns there have been big changes back at base. The Anomaly Research Centre (ARC) is no longer just a government concern. “The ARC is under new management,” producer Tim Bradley tells SFX’s Red Alert, “because the disappearance of key personnel has left Lester a bit stranded. So the old team is joined by new characters who deal with the situations that happened off camera between the two years. There’s this new character, Philip Burton [played by Deep Space Nine’s Alexander Siddig], who’s a venture capitalist, and he’s been brought in to finance the new ARC set-up. One of his main areas of interest is investigating the science behind the anomalies. He’s really filling what Cutter’s demise left – a bit of a gap in the scientific journey.”
As for the tone of the new series, Bradley tells us that the new series won’t reinvent the wheel. “The majority of episodes will give you what everybody seems to want, which is a sort of tubthumping crashing beast to terrorise you. I think all our co-financiers want us to keep making the better show, but the same show. We don’t want to change the appeal of the programme, or take it in a direction that makes it harder for the younger audience to enjoy. That said, we are trying to make sure there are a few more adult beats for people, and we do perhaps want to push the creatures being a little more visceral.”

Well I got this off Digital Spy, as I do, so here's the article:
Primeval producer Tim Bradley has dropped some hints about the new series.
Speaking to SFX, Bradley explained that the Anomaly Research Centre will be "under new management" when the show returns.
"The disappearance of key personnel has left Lester a bit stranded," he said. "So the old team is joined by new characters who deal with the situations that happened off camera between the two years."
Bradley also dropped some hints about Alexander Siddig's new character, venture capitalist Philip Burton.
"He's been brought in to finance the new ARC set-up," he explained. "One of his main areas of interest is investigating the science behind the anomalies. He's really filling what Cutter's demise left - a bit of a gap in the scientific journey."
Bradley added that the new series will be similar to previous episodes, saying: "The majority of episodes will give you what everybody seems to want, which is a sort of tubthumping crashing beast to terrorise you.
"That said, we are trying to make sure there are a few more adult beats for people, and we do perhaps want to push the creatures [into] being a little more visceral."
Primeval is expected to return for a new series in January on ITV1.
