I was discussing this TV show with a French member and just found a few episodes in that language. YouTube also has many episodes in English. And some fans have posted clips of the show in German, Czech, Russian, etc. Some of those have the best resolution of fan-posted scenes.
If you were a fan of the show, you'll see here that they used entirely new titles, credits, etc .from the series as was seen in English-speaking countries.
The series was filmed in Queensland, Australia from 1999-2002, but is still in re-runs in some countries. Fans of fiction based on the show come from at least 60 nations!
This is the original two-part beginning of the series, and a different actor played the only American, reporter Ned Malone. After this show was made as a TV movie and also as the basis for the series, that man was replaced by a fellow Canadian named David Orth.
The face you see here is that of an Aussie actress named Rachel Blakely. She played the mysterious heiress , jewel thief, and WWI spy Marguerite Krux who financed Prof. Challenger's expedition to Brazil to determine if dinosaurs still lived on a remote plateau.
This will introduce you to the main characters, save for Finn, a girl from the future who arrived during the Third Season.
I know that we have some TV series fans here and I think my French acquaintance will enjoy the two-part series opener in his language. So may others. I know we have several here who can speak that tongue. Others can click on this and see episodes in English. Just Search for The Lost World or by name of the stars. Besides Rachel, there were Will Snow (Played Lord John Roxton), Jennifer O'Dell (Veronica), Peter McCauley (Prof. Challenger), etc. Most were Australian. McCauley is a New Zealander.
The series opens in a remote Amazon village, where a scientist named Maple White has staggered out of the jungle and dies, leaving his satchel for Challenger to examine. When he finds a photo plate of a living pterodactyl, he returns to London and makes a speech to the Royal Zoological Society, proposing an expedition to check out that plateau. He recruits several members of the audience to join and Miss Krux walks in just after shooting a man in a nearby alley and announces that she'll finance it. (Hmmm...the shooting was edited out of this version.)
BTW, part of the fun is seeing which guns were used. They did a pretty good job, considering what was avaialble at a prop house in Australia. The plastic prop rifle was soon replaced on the show by a .416 Rigby or a similar rifle. The dubbed voices sound nothing like the actors' voices, alas.
Enjoy!
MODS: if tHis violates some Rule or takes up too much space, etc., just Delete it. I don't know how to delete it.
