jackstomlinson Best part about this show is that the Host just throws himself into any situation and just goes with it.I think I saw 5 of the episodes and they were all quite entertaining. I learned a ton about Easter Island, but it's always more fun when he does something with the local customs, like getting spit on.All in all, great show, wish I saw it when it was on TV.

jabrbi A series of 6 programmes put together on the subject of "Secret Worlds" that contains almost no secrets, is headed up by a lame American archaeologist with no cultural sensitivity.In each programme, an idiot with a decent body blunders all over the place in an attempt to make archaeology/history exciting in an Indiana Jones style, rather than just telling the fascinating stories that lie beneath the ruins of societies lost in time. Not only do the film segments feature embarrassing cultural foot0in-mouth disease, but there is a lamentable lack of accuracy in the use of English - Greyfriars Bobby is a well-documented story from the 1860's and not some "legend", and at no point does the series protagonist actually engage in any form of serious archaeology, so there is never any chance that he will "uncover" any "secrets".These programmes are for an American audience with almost no attention span, no knowledge of history, and no interest in academic rigour. Although the subject matter historically existed, the programmes do there best to turn fact into myth and legend before revealing nothing new on the subject.Tedious, turgid, boring and unexciting. No wonder there hasn't been a second series yet after 6 years.
