... SATURDAY
BBC America's enjoyable sci-fi monster mash Primeval (9/8c) returns for a fifth season, with the ARC team acting ever more suspicious and distrustful of each other as they chase down fearsome creatures who keep threatening London from an unpredictable variety of time-anomaly portals. Adding to the tension: young genius Connor (Andrew-Lee Potts, one of the few remaining original cast members) is recruited by corporate boss Philip Burton (Alexander Siddig) to run a top-secret operation called New Dawn, which sounds like just the sort of thing that could trigger the future apocalypse that team leader Matt (Ciaran McMenamin) has come from the future to avert. Meanwhile, there's an invasion of giant carnivorous subterranean insects to vanquish — and face it, that's why we're really watching, to take us back to the good old days of the monster movie.
