Could this be ... the Final Fantasy of Fawcett? In this last episode of Fawcettmania, Cian sits by a stream and flicks the pages of 'Brazil That Never Was' by A.J. Lees, as well as articles by arch Fawcett-dismisser John Hemming. In an episode as thrilling as a mid-Victorian face-off between rival explorers at a packed RGS debate, we conclude:
-confirmation (probably) of the date when Conan Doyle attended Colonel Percy's lecture!
-tangents about John Hanning Speke and a descendent at a London punk gig
-Fawcett writes for Occult Review and uses his Ouija board in the trenches of WW1
-John Hemming says Fawcett discovered nothing; Brian Fawcett says Jack Fawcett is a waster who 'reads Fu Manchu novels!'
-Fawcett describing a real tribe as Bigfoot-like savages is pretty horrific
-Cork mystic Geraldine Cummins makes an unlikely return to the show
-Fawcett is (maybe) seduced by a fairy woman in Carrigaline; Brian is (definitely) seduced by a fairy woman and sees miniature UFOs
