For the first time, in this epic three-part series, we tell the complete and definitive story of Loch Ness.
In a detailed forensic examination of the evidence, both photographic, film, anecdotal and cultural, to the human stories of those drawn to both the phenomenon and the place. We reveal how the stunning landscape has witnessed feuds, fakery and failure that has seen countless lifetimes sacrificed to the pursuit of a monster that the scientific establishment has argued cannot exist, or can it?
In an epic story that takes viewers from the savagery of the late Triassic period to the modern internet age, we use expert testimony, archive footage and stunning landscape filming, to create a series that is the definitive history of the Loch Ness phenomenon, scrutinising and unravelling the stories which have been at the heart of the monster mystery.

Enthused by the first convincing moving film footage of the monster, TV presenter and conservationist Peter Scott joins the hunt, by trying to engage the scientific world. The Loch Ness Phenomena Investigation Bureau is formed, and expeditions are mounted securing yet more compelling film footage.
