Oooh!!

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.
