Nonsense or truth?
“At a generous assessment, approximately half the material in this series is nonsense. Unfortunately, I don’t know which half, and neither does anyone else.” Such honesty is not at all usual from a television frontperson about his own show, but Arthur C. Clarke is not a usual television frontperson.
Yorkshire Television and Arthur C. Clarke, one of the foremost innovative scientific minds of our time, joined forces to create a unique television series that probes the mysteries of the human mind and powers beyond the human reach. Can people really be hexed to death? How do firewalkers survive their searing ordeal unscathed? Can some people really see into the future? “Arthur C. Clarke’s World of Strange Powers” begins on Two at 8 p.m.
