Stick with it Ramon!
Ep. 4 has a wry and amusing swipe at the rivalry between NASA and SpaceX, then ep. 5 starts with a clever plot twist.

Have the Loch Ness Monster: New Evidence showing on Quest but can't be asked to look up from my laptop. Could some-one watch it for me and tell me the highlights please.
And that's your theory is it ..The Loch Ness Monster is thin at one end; much, much thicker in the middle and then thin again at the far end.
I’m suspecting plagiarism from that noted researcher Anne Elk.And that's your theory is it ..
Oh my God!Can you believe she has her own Wiki entry ?!

The chap living at the side of the Loch is Steve Feltham.I dipped in & out of it. It covered the whole story of LNM & more specifically the more recent investigations - Adrian Shine, the Japanese mass sonar hunt some decades ago, the man who's lived in a van on the shore for the past 30 years whose name escapes me. Loren Coleman was one of the talking heads featured.
The new evidence in the title is from one of the latest investigations in which multiple water samples were taken at various depths then analysed for DNA traces.
They found DNA from many species including land animals living nearby - deer, badgers, stoats, etc. They looked for evidence of catfish & sturgeon which were theorised as possible candidates for the LNM. They didn't find any. One of the most common DNA traces found were of eels.
I think there was a percentage [28?] which couldn't be identified.
I enjoyed the first episode of The Serpent on BBC One. I hadn't heard of this case before watching the series. It's definitely very well made, I like the clever use of archive footage of Bangkok and how they have edited it to be spliced together with modern recreated footage.
For those in the U.K. the new series of Curse of Oak Island starts tonight, a look at what’s coming followed by a two hour episode.
They've found that they can keep a tenuous TV series going for a long time.So they haven’t found anything yet then?
You are a lot more generous to this film than me! I have no intention of ever watching it again and I wish to know to whom I have complain to get my two hours and 21 minutes back.The Lost City of Z on BBC4 at 9 pm tonight. My review:
The Lost City of Z: So they do make films like that anymore. Plenty of derring-do and stiff upper lips but Colonel Percival Fawcett was no imperialist or racist and admired the Amazon natives and publicised how they were exploited. The film covers his life from 1905 in Ireland to his disappearance in the Amazon Jungle in 1925.
No giant snakes but Fortean touches include Fawcett and his sidekicks encountering an Opera production on a rubber plantation and a fortune teller predicting Fawcett's future at the Somme Front in 1916. His obsession was The Lost City of Z and it cost him and his eldest son their lives in 1925. The film suggests a possible, even likely explanation for their disappearance.
Fawcett's defence of the theory of Ancient Civilisations in the Amazon led to mockery at the Royal Geographical Society but Fawcett had the last laugh when ruins and geoglyphs were found in the Amazon Rainforest over the last ten years. Some archaeological finds were in the area suggested by Fawcett as the location for the City of Z. 8/10.

I started watching it earlier this evening, but quickly got the 'meh' vibe and turned it off.You are a lot more generous to this film than me! I have no intention of ever watching it again and I wish to know to whom I have complain to get my two hours and 21 minutes back.

You have to drop a line to the British Board Of Film Censors: CockWomble Division. They’re the ones who deal with movie time theft as well as scenes of CockWombling of course.You are a lot more generous to this film than me! I have no intention of ever watching it again and I wish to know to whom I have complain to get my two hours and 21 minutes back.
Famed for being the first film graded purely in Piss-O-Vision lurid yellow.
