This Lost World is a splendid BBC TV dramatisation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous adventure story.

James Fox is Challenger's more timid but still covertly adventurous rival, Tom Ward is the moustachioed big game hunter who faces an Allosaurus with an elephant gun, and Matthew Rhys plays the tagalong reporter hoping to impress his faithless fiancée.
