I was in Drake’s Last Voyage, part of BBC’s Timewatch series. It was a documentary about Sir Francis Drake’s last voyage. He died in Nombre de Dios, in Panama. His troops were trying to invade Panama, and I know some of the route they took to attempt this feat.
I did some consulting, and acting, for the documentary. It was filmed by Alan Ereira. He put me in the credits, and when I came on screen, he introduced me as Irving Bennett, Explorer.
Another funny thing related to this “thing” if you Google Irving Bennett, apart from my Flickr photos, the second line is my name in tv.com where they give me credit for an appearance in Ecochallenge Fiji 2002. Isn’t that bizarre?
