I'm probably one of the most prone to notice, but has anyone else detected the similar structure of the BBC's Primeval to Gerry Anderson's UFO?
Follow along with me... Secret government agency deals with dangerous and unpredictable incursions by potentially hostile unknowns. The team is run by a blonde guy who had a bad marriage that keeps coming back to haunt him. Second in command is a good looking man of action/ladies man. Hostile government liason that doesn't care for the man or the methods used to contain the threat above Cutter in the command chain. Hot babe operative/s that parade around half dressed.
Then throw in Will Robinson/Wesley Crusher/Brains just because the network demands a boffin. Add dinosaurs and time tunnels, stir well.
The actors even resemble the folks from UFO...
