Did you know

• At the end of the Season one finale Future Foe (2007), it is revealed that Nick Cutter's trip back in time to the Permian Period changed the "present", with only him and Helen knowing the truth. The character Claudia Brown no longer exists, but has now morphed into Jenny Lewis (also played by Lucy Brown) and there is now the existence of the ARC - the Anomaly Research Centre. The remainder of the seasons play out in this altered time-line.

• The final 13 episodes, combined series 4 and 5, were actually shot at various locations within the Republic of Ireland, mostly around the Dublin-Wicklow area, some with none to major digital set dressing enhancement. The city wall map in the office, in Series 4 and 5, is actually Dublin City, turned upside down.

• Despite being labelled as a "dinosaur show" by many people upon its initial broadcast, there were no actual dinosaurs that appeared in the first series. The show as a whole has been consistently praised for featuring lesser-known (often times obscure) palaeo-fauna, enabling them to become more common place in the public consciousness with the help of being represented in mainstream pop-culture media.
