Beetlemania hits the ARC when Connor, working on a dodgy project for the saturnine Philip, unleashes a biblical plague. A torrent of prehistoric insects pours through “the first man-made anomaly” and, as dino-devotees will know, any security breach means “lockdown”. Good for the outside world; not so great for the staff.
The main story is scalp-crawling if straightforward, but the nibbles of complexity at the beginning and end add a little spice. And with battle lines finally drawn between the characters – in what appears to be indelible ink – the last episodes of the series can really push the boat out.
About this programme
4/6. The team tackles killer beetles from the future, which swarm into Connor's lab through an anomaly and begin devouring everything in sight, starting with a luckless security guard. As the crisis escalates, Philip devises a way of saving the day - but unfortunately it entails destroying the whole of ARC. Drama, starring Andrew-Lee Potts, Alexander Siddig and Hannah Spearritt.
