Lost Land of the Volcano - BBC
Posted: September 10th, 2009, 19:14
Lost Land of the Volcano is the documentary related to the story in the press last week about a new giant rat that was found. However, having loaded up the iplayer to watch it expecting a usual BBC Nature documentary, I was a bit disappointed to find it was a documentary about scientists in the jungle, with the occasional animal thrown in. There's too much peril about people on boats and climbing rocks, with music that I can only think of as being suitable for the Crystal Maze, and not nearly enough about interesting animals. It's only 3 episodes, and I'll probably watch them all, but I'll spend the whole time thinking of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou - the similarities are scary.
