CryptoZoo

These are cool - not quite what I was after but just as well as i haven't even started on my stillsuit mind you I can probably wait till these guys figure it out. This will turn up in the FT undoubtedly so I'll wait and get an informed opinion later. Wish they'd do more Fortean stuff on TV these days, in the past I remember a show by Rev. Lionel Fanthorpe or something, doing a magazine type show covering all the bases, he was ok a bit hokey but pretty good, there was the marvellous Jon Ronson's For The Love of exploring peculiar beliefs and there's been Derren Brown of course and his excellent mad mentalist mesmerism, just wish he'd done more to debunking, Debunk Derrren Debunk ! Also some great cryptozoological show with a pretty chunky guy sweating it up in jungles looking for animals that barely exist - all good all interesting, if TV can't do decent intelligent science TV anymore maybe it should push towards the boundaries of science and highlight the most extreme and fringe elements of the community - that way they'll get bonus controversy and plenty of talking points - game over. God I really should be running a TV station just probably not this high.
