About this episode

This week on Tonight's Second Feature, James & Rhys go back 66 million years to watch The Lost World (1925). Amidst the pioneering silent epics of the 1920s, Hollywood would release the first film adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic novel about a land where prehistoric creatures still roam. In London, Professor Challenger announces that prehistoric creatures are alive and flourishing in the Amazon jungle and declares his intention to mount an expedition proving his point. Journalist Edward Malone volunteers to go and convinces his newspaper to fund the journey. Paula White hopes to find her father, a missing explorer. They and others undertake the voyage and witness dinosaurs and humanoids doing battle in a magnificent landscape.
