BBC Radio 4 Extra is currently re-broadcasting the brilliant English occult fantasy drama Pilgrim, by Sebastian Baczkiewicz, which began airing back in 2011 on Radio 4. They're playing all 6 series in order and uploading them to iPlayer, the 4 episode series 1 is already up, I highly recommend giving it a listen.

I posted about that on the Ghost Hunters thread.

I found it hilarious, and the couple who were his mentors seemed to take it quite well, so I think "a total sneering pisstake" is a bit strong. It's just Rhod's style, comedy that pretends to be documentary. I loved the throwaway one-liners - sometimes I laughed so much at one I'd miss the next one!
So I agree with your conclusion, "...worth watching till the end IMO."

An expedition to climb a tepuis - a sheer sided mountain with plateau on top - in Venezuela. There's around 100 of them, thought to be totally unexplored due to difficulty climbing them. Whatever's at the top has possibly been separated high above for millions of years. They look like they're the inspiration for Conan Doyle's Lost World. Fearsome storms, loose slippery rocks, sudden waterfalls & more.
Part 1.
Watched part one last night - great stuff.

What size are the plateaus? Square miles?
I don't think they have mentioned area yet, just height - 1000 metres, a five day climb.What size are the plateaus? Square miles?
Chris Packham explores the unexplained, unexpected and unidentifiable. Chris uncovers the cause of some mysterious holes in the Russian tundra and finds an underwater lake.
No, it's about the holes caused by methane outgassing.Is the tundra bit about the copper cauldrons? I've been fascinated by then for years but never found anything new.
Sometime in the Twelfth Century two children appeared from a pit on the edge of a field in the Suffolk village of Woolpit. They were coloured green and spoke a unknown language. They sickened until they were allowed to eat green beans. The boy died but the girl revived and grew up learning English, marrying a man from Kings Lynn, and speaking of the place she and her brother had come from. Susannah Clapp and Richard Mabey investigate the story and its remarkable enduring appeal to villagers, visitors and a succession of folklorists and writers.

Much more interesting than the history lessons I got at school, the Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton bit was quite something. Sundays at 19.15 for the next few weeks.
Coincidentally, tonight I was looking at a map of Milford Dock (in connection with the apparent drowning of a Cornish fisherman there), and I couldn't help noticing that Nelson Quay lies near Hamilton Terrace.Much more interesting than the history lessons I got at school, the Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton bit was quite something.
