Episode 3.3[]
Nancy moments after becoming marooned in the present.
Sid and Nancy, along with around a dozen other Diictodon, came through an Anomaly to a hospital in present day West London. One of them was captured by Connor Temple and Hilary Becker when it fell out of the ceiling and into a hospital trolley Connor had with him. The other tried to return through the Anomaly with the other Diictodon in response to another Diictodon's distress call, but the Anomaly closed just before it could go back through. With the two Diictodon now marooned in the present day, Connor and Abby Maitland decided to keep them and named them Sid and Nancy.

Episode 3.5[]
Connor was forced to live in the ARC, and so he kept Sid and Nancy there with him in a cage. Sid chewed out of the cage while Connor was asleep and ran amok in the ARC; disabling the Anomaly Detection Device by chewing through its cables, and escaping whenever Connor came close to catching him. At one point, Sid travelled through the ARC's ventilation to the air vent of a lab. Connor tried to catch Sid, but Sid eluded him once again. At the end of the day, Connor was able to recapture Sid and fixed his and Nancy's cage.

Trivia[]
- Sid's name is a reference to punk rock star Sid Vicious and Nancy's to his girlfriend Nancy Spungen. Also, in Episode 3.2, Cutter at one point jokingly referred to Connor and Abby as 'Sid and Nancy', which may be where they got the name idea for the two Diictodon.
- Although Sid and Nancy haven't been seen since Series 3, the producers of Primeval have confirmed that they are in the Menagerie after Connor and Abby were marooned in the Cretaceous for a year.
