Please identify guns

• Can anyone say what make Tom Ryan's rifle was? It seemed from the noise made to be fully automatic. Anthony Appleyard 16:25, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
• Also there were two men with UK police-type riotsquad helmets and UK police-issue automatic carbines.: please what make of gun is this? Anthony Appleyard 07:50, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

• Captain Tom Ryan, used an American M4 Carbine Assault rifle, which is the standered infantry weapon of the Australian, and English SAS (A well as many U.S Special forces soldiers). The other SAS Troops use the German H&K G36. The G-36 is not used in the English SAS. British Armed Responce Police force do not use it either, they use the MP-5 Sub-machine gun. Nath1991 (talk. The SAS troopers are also armed with Glock Semi-automatic pistols. Glock Pistols are also used by Cutter and Steven in the last episode where they both shoot the "future predetor".

In Episode 2, it is worthwile to note when the SAS troops are running down the Underground train tunnel trying to locate the "Spiders" a head on shot of the troops is shown, on one of the soldiers one of the weapons appears to be a Steyr AUG or a British made SA-80 , the british Bulpup weapon, based on the Steyr AUG design.

Cast list

I cut down the cast list just to include the main characters, but the longer list has been reinstated with a request for discussion before re-deletion. My rationale was that just including the main cast would keep the list a reasonable length and give readers an idea of who was key to the series - this seems standard for TV articles. Perhaps the cast from individual episodes could be included in an episode list article or individual episode articles if/when these are created? I chose those listed in the opening credits and on the official website (though we could add more if some of episode one's other characters turn out to be reoccurring).

I've split the cast into main plus others for now. Could we restrict the list to characters that appear in the end credits? (Jill and Duncan would go...) Jihg 13:28, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Some of the deleted characters (e.g. Ben and Ryan) had important parts in Episode 1. Anthony Appleyard 17:52, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. Ideally we move them to episode articles if/when that happens. Jihg 15:32, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Is it necessary to spoil the fate of so many characters??? Many Wikipedia readers may not have seen the series as a whole, and without reading the sinopsis of the seasons in detail, they already know who's gonna die at the end of each one! It would be much easier to just mention "appears only in first Season", and saying nothing about the events in the Second Season Finale. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.132.185.92 (talk) 17:21, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

The unsigned comment above is mine. Now I have created an account and corrected the section on my own. Wow, my first edition in Wikipedia! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fassbinder69 (talk • contribs) 17:33, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Cult

I removed the "cult" descriptions. It's an SF drama. No one is making Primeval into a religion. It's not the world's most serious show, but it's still demeaning to classify it with such a term. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Barsoomian (talk • contribs) 16:56, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

It meant Cult following, not cult. I've disambig the wiki-links. Cheers, Mark t young (talk) 17:13, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Mick Harper

Can I suggest we do a page on Mick Harper? Public interferance is a crucial story in Primeval, plus he is coming back. 06:08:08 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Primeval Demon (talk • contribs) 06:32, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Australian Series

I'm an avid Australian Primeval fan, but we only got the first series of primeval here in Australia. I have emailed the braodcasting station wether they would be showing Series 2 & 3, but they said they would not, because the ratings were low. (im personally upset by this). Now the DVD's are unlikly to be released here in Australia, because of that reason. Does anyone know if the DVDs are going to be released here in Australia, and if so when?. Also i they arnt, how can i get a copy. I think it will be difficult because i think there is a DVD code that is only playable in certain countries. If anyone could send me an Email at <email redacted> Thanks

Season 3 airdate

Reading the article, there appears to be conflicting information about the airdate of Season 3.. near the top it is indicated that ITV will air season 3 sometime in January, but further below it is redacted: "It has been put back for a release date of February 2009." So which one is it? January or February? Brynet (talk) 18:37, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
