Mysteries of... S01E02 - Mysteries of Loch Ness

There are certain places in the world that hold a powerful grip over the collective imagination. Places where mysteries and myths abound. This new series explores the secrets behind three iconic sites and phenomena, continuing with a warm-hearted and quirky feature-length documentary on Loch Ness, which dives into the enduring mystery of the Loch Ness monster and explores the history, folklore and science of - and our unwavering fascination with - the world's most famous (but largely quite shy) monster. Believers, sceptics, tourists and locals contribute - including a passionate Nessie hunter who believes he has the first audio recording of the monster, and an academic who considers the psychology behind these strange sightings. And there's a tour around the globe and similar legends of lake monsters. In the end though, what or who is Nessie? Sea serpent? Prehistoric plesiosaur? Repetitive hoax?
