He plays indoor golf with monster bones and has a very, very complex love life. His estranged wife has just vanished into the Permian era and the woman who loves him has seemingly never existed. Apart from an overwhelming threat to the future of mankind he has an empty diary.

She is bolshie, manipulative, self-centred and generally insufferable. Helen had an affair with Stephen when he was her student and, with the benefit of hindsight, her marriage to the Prof never stood a chance. She tricked Cutter into returning to the anomalies.

Likes to make smart alec quips and inhabits an immaculate suit all day long. Tries to avoid getting his hands dirty and isn't keen on compromise. His solution to the monster problem was "I suppose bombing somewhere is out of the question".

Plagued by daymares in the first series she had a habit of waking up at her desk in a petrified state. Fortunately no one noticed. She loves Prof Cutter and had a lingering kiss before they parted. She has been erased from history. Or has she?

Cutter's pretty lab assistant is bright as a button and loves adventure. They rowed when she and Connor went off on a solo mission. The two youngsters flirt but it is Connor who is keen to escalate their relationship. Abby hates spiders but loves lizards.

Abby fancies him and he is self-assured, athletic and dedicated. At the end of episode six we discovered he'd had an affair with Helen while her student. It explained a lot about his attitude to Prof Cutter. But Cutter saved his life in episode two.

He's nerdy and seeks advice from Abby on how to chat up women. It's really his way of trying to get her to like him. Connor is Cutter's student and a dinosaur expert. Connor almost left the team in the first series. He also suffers from some deep rooted delusions about life.
