saw all of it not too bad. the cave was actually on the same island where the hobbit skeleton was found. the dig team had to find a new site as original site has been closed to further excavations .

Not just the "the" hobbit skeleton.

The bones from nine individuals.
Which included one skull and two lower jaws.
All of which exhibit the same "hobbitish"
anomalies.

One individual could have been a pathological problem
such as microencephaly.
Nine individuals puts the kybosh on that.

So the mystery deepens. Hopefully the new cave on Flores may yield some interesting answers.

Notice, that the doco, never mentions the "Ebu gogo". The mysterious cryptid, that may have been the Hobbit and may still be living on the Island.

I'd like to see future Docos reach out on a limb occationally. Otherwise it wasnt too bad.
