Clarke''s Mysterious World   and was followed up by Arthur C. Clarke''s Mysterious Universe  , I believe.It featured the crystal skull in it''s intro, and during the end credits you saw some bizarre fish-eye picture that was completely undeciferable. It turned out to be Arthur on a piece of wood.It was a fun show, but got tiring because it basically always went the same: You saw Arthur on Sri Lanka, and he''d say something like "Japanese people with good taste. Rumours of their existence have been present throughout history. Tonight, we''ll look into this bizarre and unusual phenomenon."Then, you''d see a basically fun report of said phenomenon, but it''d always end with Arthur saying "Although it remains interesting, I think it''s fake." End credits. That got annoying.The most laughable show was one in which he let his horrible old computer somehow ''calculate'' wether certain phenomenon were real. This basically consisted of Arthur pressing a key, which would print some lines to the screen with figures of the probability of said phenomenon being real. So something like:"Yeti. 20% Fire Walkers. 15% Leylines. 8% Non-annoying Linux zealots. 12% Stigmata. 22%"etc. However he calculated those figures, he didn''t say. He didn''t even try to hide the fact that he probably just written some lame BASIC program which only printed some lines to the screen. I laughed, and laughed, and laughed. Oh, Arthur.
