'The Lost
World' TV series is based on Sir Arthur Conan's Doyle famous book of the same
name. Now in its third season, the show's storylines just keep getting better
and better and are moving more and more to character driven episodes. Very good
fun and producing some sterling acting from all the leads, it's rapidly
becoming one of my favourite shows of all times.
Here's what
its all about...
Professor George Challenger is a scientist who's looking to make a
great discovery. While on an expedition, a fatally injured man stumbles into
his camp and dies. Challenger finds the deceased man's notes and drawings and
is amazed to see that they point to the existence of a mysterious plateau deep
in the Amazon that supposedly supports pre-historic life.
A month
later, he produces these findings to the Zoological Society in London but is
laughed at. Annoyed, he challenges anyone to help him form an expedition and go
and see if this 'Lost World' truly exists.
Among the
men assembled is renowned hunter and adventurer, Lord John Roxton. Looking for the biggest trophy of his
life, he readily accepts Challenger's proposal. Also offering to join them is, Ned Malone, an American reporter who's seeking the
story of his lifetime.
The Society
then request that fellow Professor, Arthur Summerlee, also goes on the journey. He is well known
for being skeptical of Challenger's theories and they believe he would provide
an objective report on any findings.
The final
person to join the explorers is a beautiful, mysterious and wealthy woman
called, Marguerite
Krux. She offers to fund the trip on the condition that she goes with them.
They set out
for the plateau and as they reach their destination, they are attacked by
hostile natives. They use the hot air balloon they set up to make their escape
and fly up to the very top of the plateau where they get caught up in a
terrifying storm during which they crash into a tree.
As the adventurers
try and make the best of the strange, dangerous land they find themselves in,
they are befriended by a young woman called, Veronica Layton, who claims to have lived alone on the
plateau for the past eleven years - ever since her explorer parents went
missing while out collecting specimens.
She takes
them back to her treehouse and there they stay while they desperately try and
find a way off of the plateau. Each day brings a new adventure or trial they
have to work together to defeat; hostile tribes, dinosaurs, witches,
supernatural occurrences...everything that goes to make up the wonderful,
frightening and magical place that is, 'The Lost World'.
