In his final "investigation", Lawrence "tests the boundaries of rationality by confronting an unsuspecting individual with increasingly unbelievable experiences. Can Lawrence turn a sceptic into a believer?"
It hasn't exactly set the world on fire in terms of blowing the lid on any undiscovered hoaxes, and it's decision to stage some of the "stunts" make it lack gravitas and believability... but its softly-spoken host, or guide, Lawrence Leung saves it from becoming an uneven mess.
Its highlight so far has been the psychic experiment in which a group of (apparently) unknowing participants were fooled into feeling as if they were receiving messages from the dead (including feeling cold, etc.).
Its ratings haven't exactly been strong either (it rated 380,000 last week, 414,000 the week before and 432,000 the week before that), but I repeat, it has been good casual viewing.
Lawrence Leung's Unbelievable airs tonight at 9:30PM on ABC1.
It will be replaced next week by Judith Lucy's Spiritual Journey.
