Primeval - Episode #11

(from BBC) Taylor, an eleven-year-old girl, and her dog are sent to get fish and chips, but she gets more than soggy batter when she sees an anomaly in a nearby alley. She enters it and finds a whole new world of rocky terrain, desert and twinkling stars. But her wonderment quickly turns to horror when the sand rises up like a monster and starts chasing her dog. The terrified little girl screams.

Meanwhile, things in our world seem pretty quiet. Leek is alone at headquarters, and the gang are enjoying a "normal" night off in their respective lives. That is until the detector alerts them to the new anomaly. By the time the gang congregate at headquarters, however, the detector has crashed, and they have no idea where the anomaly has formed...nor where Leek is. Cutter suspects foul play, but there is no time for conspiracy theories - they must get the detector working and find the anomaly before any incursions occur.

As Cutter waits impatiently for Connor to fix the machine, Leek is at the site instructing heavily armed mercenaries to carry out some kind of secret mission. The men pass through the anomaly and see Taylor waving frantically at them. They ignore her - but Taylor isn't asking for help, she's trying to warn them. She's too late. The men's screams and gunfire echo in the darkness until the desert swallows them, leaving nothing but their scattered weapons and a deathly silence...
