At the turn of the century, an expedition under the leadership
of a maverick academic, Professor Challenger, leaves smoke-chocked
London for the rainforests of South America in search of a
mythical land - where it is said that time has stood still...
Ah!
The BBC has managed to find a new vessel for its Walking
with Dinosaurs special effects. After the, what was frankly
disappointing, Walking with Beasts series Auntie Beeb
pulls of an excellent made for TV movie in the form of The
Lost World.
Bob
Hoskins is wonderful as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's crazed explorer
who wants to prove to the world that he is not a madman and
the rest of the cast turn in above average performances, especially
Peter (Colombo) Faulk.
The
effects are straight out of Walking with Dinosaurs,
but seem more realistic set in their new surroundings. There
are a few twists that the writers throw at us along the way,
including the new ending which gives the production a more
up-to-date feel.
The
DVD contains a commentary by the producer and director and
a 30 minute making of documentary.
If
you want to see entertainment at its best, then this is a
DVD for you. This proves that when you want good, solid program
making, the BBC still has its finger on the pulse. Excellent.
