The best news. EVER.

SO if you haven't heard then I'm guessing you live under a rock or something.

I really don't know how to explain this in a professional manner so I'll let this picture do the talking...



Connor is very happy my friends. WHY?

BECAUSE PRIMEVAL HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY RECOMMISSIONED!!



Here is the article from the BBC website where the news was first announced:



Sci-fi drama series Primeval has been resurrected for two new series by ITV just three months after it was announced it had been axed.

Original stars including Andrew Lee Potts, Jason Fleming and Hannah Spearritt will return to the show.

The series will be co-produced by ITV and UKTV, with series four premiering on ITV and five going out first on digital channel Watch.

Primeval features a group of scientists who battle prehistoric creatures.

Series three attracted average audiences of about five million in its Saturday tea-time ITV slot.

But when ITV was forced to make drastic cuts of £40m in the channel's production budget, it looked like spelling the end of the special-effects laden series.

As part of the new deal, also part-funded by BBC Worldwide and Germany's Pro7, 13 new episodes will be split over the two series, with series four going out in early 2011.

Tim Haines, Creative Director of Impossible Picture, said: "I am thrilled that ITV has agreed to this new deal which will allow Impossible Pictures to produce another 13 episodes of Primeval.

"The confidence demonstrated in the programme's continued success here and abroad will help us bring more big screen action and a whole host of new creatures roaring back into people's living rooms."

HERE is the link to the actual article.




I WANT TO SAY A HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED THE PETITION, PRIMEVAL AND THE FABULOUS CAST AND CREW.

IF IT WERE NOT FOR ALL THE SUPPORT SHOWN BY ALL THE VIEWERS I DON'T THINK THAT PRIMEVAL WOULD BE BACK SO THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO WAS A PART OF SUPPORTING THE SHOW WE LOVE

Good news at last?!

Alright guys?

Well as promised I am blogging as soon as I hear ANYTHING Primeval so hears some news...

I got this mail in my GoPetition Mailbox and thought it'd be best if i shared it with you.


"Hope you dont mind me dropping you a line - I signed your petition a couple of months ago but I just heard some really interesting news that I thought you might like to spread around the other people that signed, and on your website? A friend of mine heard that apparently ITV might be thinking again about their decision to cancel Primeval - they've been so overwhelmed by all the support from the petitions and blogs and various articles that they might give it another try! Fingers crossed all the signatures will help change their mind!"


Thanks to Amy for sending me this! :)

*************************UPDATES *************************

I emailed Amy asking if she had any links to articles where her friend heard this and i got this back:-

As far as I can tell, my friend didnt hear it from an article, but I think they know people who work in and around ITV, so I'm guessing they got it from there? I have to say I dont know for sure, but they seemed pretty certain. From what they were saying, its something to do with all the petitions and blogs that people have been writing though.


NOW THAT REALLY IS GOOD NEWS!



*****************************************************************************

Could this be the good news we've been waiting for?

A big thank you has to go out to all the people bitching at ITV through emails, creating petitions and ESPECIALLY to all the people who've been signing the petition!

THANKS SO MUCH :D



Connor says thanks too ;)
