Douglas Henshall Sees Bright Future For Primeval
Written by Ian Cullen on November 12, 2009 – 11:00 am -
Douglas Henshall who played the late paleontology expert Nick Cutter in the hit ITV1 series primeval may have left the series, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t fond of the series.
In fact he is perhaps one of the shows staunchest supporters.
In a recent interview for regional newspaper The Chester Chronicle Henshall said that he is not in the least bit surprised that the show has proved such a success.
“I thought that the writing was good enough and the premise was good enough, [and] if people liked it, it could go pretty much as long as it liked,” Henshall explained.
“As long as people had faith in it who were making it, then I thought it would be fine. It taps into an eternal thing in young people, dinosaurs, monsters and myths and legends.”
He continued: “I went to the Natural History Museum the other week with my niece, she’s in her twenties, she’s not a kid, but we had to go down there because I thought she should see it. Me and my partner, the three of us were walking through the dinosaur exhibit and kids, boys and girls were queuing and queuing to see this big Tyrannosaurus Rex and you think, ‘What is it about dinosaurs?’.”
As readers at SciFiPulse already know. Primeval was cancelled earlier this year, and later saved from the maw of death by a deal between UKTV, ITV and BBC Worldwide.
