‘Atlantis: The Evidence’

9 May 2011 BBC2 19:00 – 20:00

I love Brittany Hughes beautiful authoritative tones. There are some wonderful edits in this documentary, in search of the missing links between Plato’s tale of Atlantis and what science is telling us today, although, be it a little too sharp at times.

Brittany’s uncontrollable excitement is almost contagious and highly visible, particularly when she visits one of the spots Plato would have written some of his works.

With some breathtaking aerial shots and underwater captions. The creativity team have put together something rather special which works well with the archive images.

However, I did find some elements of the mix of mythology and realism, had some contrasting characteristics and were fragmented. For that, the whole project did not come across as well as it could have, had it been done differently.‘Atlantis: The Evidence’
