The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne

The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne is a 22-episode science fiction television series based on the idea that there was more fact than fiction in Verne's novels. The first episode features David Warner, a favorite of ours, which made it an easy choice to try this series.


I can't find DVDs for sale right now, but you can watch episodes online. It got good reviews and is great fun.

    1. It's an intriguing concept, I think -so different from making an adaptation of one of the books.

  3. I am intrigued. I will watch this once I catch up on everyone tonight.

    I would have been by sooner, but I have been busy working on my lawn mower, at least until it got dark. Then I ate a bite and promptly fell asleep. I am STILL not sure I got it fixed, though.

    1. Yard maintenance is something I don't miss now that we're in a townhouse. I can't imagine being able to repair my own mower! Super Woman!

  4. Thanks for mentioning this TV series. Jules Verne had great stories. This show looks interesting. (I'm going to create a blog post with a link to all of the episodes, so I can watch them in order.)

    1. I find David Warner impossible to resist lol, but the idea that the stories were based on his actual life was fascinating.
