To hot to touch: The Park of Jurassic Dinosaurs
It may not be a reality show, but ITV are about to hit us with a new prime time extravaganza. But for me it is a devastating disappointment.
Prehistoric Park, with its derivative name and suspiciously reminiscent idea [the memory of BBC show
Walking with Dinosaurs is not quite extinct yet] is nothing more than a softly softly cop out of
The Park of Jurassic Dinosaurs. ITV, the channel that compromises most when it comes to creativity, has ruined a good idea by removing the celebrity-eating element and replacing it with time travel and animal rescue.

Walking with Dinosaurs?? You almost expect a ticked-off BBC executive to pop up and cry "this what WE do". ITV play it so safe that they probably wanted David Jason and Ross Kemp to take up the roles of the dinosaurs. If my grisly vision is to ever take shape Channel 4 will need to intervene and show them how it's done. Come on guys, lets make a show where Davina McCall actually has something worth screeching about.
