I have hosted a brief hangout with the paranormal
investigators Don Philips and Steve Mera about a new TV programme they were
working on together, see:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm8owjO0xwA.
The programme-
Phenomena- a Journey into
the Unknown will be a five-part series marketed for prime time mainstream
television. Unlike most TV shows about the paranormal,
Phenomena is intended to be an honest and scientific study of
ghosts and associated matters. Don and Steve are determined to keep and fakery
and sensationalism out of their production and give the viewer a brand new
experience that will get them thinking, rather than just hiding behind the
settee. Phenomena will bring the supernatural into the twenty-first century
where it is treated as a sensible hypothesis which the viewer can analyse
rationally and respectfully. As regular HPANWO-readers will know, I am very
dubious about mainstream television's willingness and ability to portray
subjects like this fairly and honestly, but I have no doubt in the integrity of
Don and Steve, and that they will not compromise it for the sake of airtime and
ratings. If
Phenomena does hit the
screens, then it will be in the form that those two men want.
