	Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World TV Series
		The series began at pretty much the same place as the book, where Professor George Challenger (Peter McCauley) is coming under fire from his scientific peers, including Professor Summerlee (Michael Sinelnikoff, who was to be unceremoniously booted from the show at the end of season 1), for his claims about living dinosaurs.
		Besides playing Challenger's foil in the first season of the series, he also played opposite Patrick Bergin's Challenger in the terrible 1998 direct-to-video film version.
		If the subsequent season had been produced, fans would have learned that Professor Arthur Summerlee was indeed alive, residing in Avalon.
