I was a member of the old Official New Line Cinema Fan Board of, "Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World" and have been on additional boards about the show. Have all three seasons on DVD. Have kind of a crush on Finn, the blonde chick with the black shorts and crossbow, who arrived halfway through the Third Season, and on Veronica, who owned the big treehouse where they lived.
You can find some full episodes of that Australian-made 1999-2002 show on YouTube. I recently posted the two-hour intro movie here in French, for Patvince and our other French members. You can check the back pages for a couple of weeks and see it, but the format was compacted a little. I'd suggest finding it and subsequent episodes in English. They're better formatted, like you'd usually see on your TV screen in first run episodes.
The show is still seen in re-runs in many nations, dubbed in several languages. It has a a very loyal fan base.
It was made by the producers of, "Xena" and,
"Beastmaster", but had better financing and better actors, props, etc. Jennifer O'Dell was the only US cast member, playing Veronica. Prof. Challenger was played by a fine NZ actor. The rest were Australian, save for two Canadians, one playing an American reporter, Ned Malone. (Some roles were altered from Doyle's book, for the better, I think.)
I believe that this book has been made into five movies over the decades since its 1912 debut, and into three TV series. This one was the best portrayal of the subject, with talented actors and pretty good plots, although I preferred the jungle adventure episodes over those with a lot of sci-fi content.
Sometimes, you can see the whole series on YouTube. Other times, some copyright claim is made by a current broadcaster and it's harder to find episodes.
