TBC Audio original drama presents The Nessie Files by Colin Brake and Andrew Cartmel.
Nessie.. the Loch Ness Monster… What a story, what a legend! You’ve heard the stories, no doubt… that somehow some kind of prehistoric giant reptile lives in Loch Ness, one of Scotland’s deepest lakes. It’s a real phenomenon. From a few sightings through history to an explosion of blurred photos and videos in the twentieth century it’s become a global legend, right up there with Big Foot, Sasquatch, the Yeti … Nessie has been the subject of newspaper speculation, scientific study, monster-seeking tourism and true believers taking time away from searching the skies for little green men…
But what’s the truth behind it all? Is it all smoke and mirrors? Can it be just illusions, misunderstandings, and circumstantial evidence that proves nothing? Or is it a deliberate deception, a series of pranks and practical jokes, a cynical way to exploit a very specialised tourist market and to enhance the worldwide reputation of an otherwise obscure Scottish loch? Inside every myth there is a kernel of truth, isn’t there?
