I think some of the books take place in other countries. :)
I'm not worried about another group making more Primeval, it's the "younger ,sexier" bit that makes me cringe. I mean they're pretty young and sexy right now. Becker, Jess, Abbey, Conner... Right?! It'll be interesting to see if it's replacing the British version, coexisting with it (guest stars swapping about could be awesome!) or just a remake (boo!).
