It's interesting to watch the documentaries Adrian Shine's appeared in to see how he's evolved through the years. Monster hunter in the 70's, later resigning himself to the probability there is no Nessie waiting to be discovered. But, to his credit, he never mocks those (like Robert Reins) who remain hopeful. The guy is just very logical in the way he looks at the continuing search, and it's always good to see him and listen to his opinion.
He seems reasonable but he's not. I met him once at the Loch and suggested quite politely that there was some decent proof in support of Nessie's existence and he blew his top. He unleashed an expletive laden tirade all up in my grill, literally spitting in my face with fury. Then to top it all he head butted me! Boy, was my face red... After I'd shaken off my initial shock, I looked over his shoulder and said: "Look there's nessie now!" He fell for it and turned to look: nothing there. Thus distracted I caught him with a sneaky gut punch and followed it up with a few blows to his ribs. It took the wind out his sails but in a rage he charged and we collapsed in a nearby pile of bushes by the loch in a life and death struggle. It was absolutely mental - I fought as hard as I could, I'm a big guy and can box a bit but I was no match for the older, battle hardened Shine who knew every dirty trick in the book and a few more besides. And eventually, with remorseless demonic fury, he got on top. As he raised a thick tree branch high to smash my head to a bloody pulp I tried a last hail mary: "Look out Adrian! Nessie!" Only this time he was wise to my tricks and instead grinned like the devil in the pale moonlight. "Not this time a*$hole..." he said. "It's shine time muthafu*&@a!" But a second before I was killed there was a rustle in the loch bushes to our left... and this time there WAS something there... Now, I'm not sure it was Nessie per se - but it looked reminiscent of a 30 foot aquatic apex predator last seen in the Mesozoic period a good few million years ago. "Clever girl..." Shine quipped laconically in the face of annihilation and I have to say that whatever personal beef I had with Adrian at that time, it was a really cool send off line. And with that he turned to grapple with the beast and went out like an absolute legend. How I made it off myself? Well... that's a story for another day...
The strange aspect of the surgeon's photo is no one in the palaeontologist community was able to pick up on the neck position. Adrian Shine pointed out that a plesiosaur, which everyone believed Nessie to be, was not able to lift its neck and further than level with its back. Nessie would have to swim vertically for its neck to up out of the water. What folk need to start doing is go to the loch with drone cameras so they can fly the drone above a very close to what they see.
I don't think it's a plesiosaur, for a few reasons, one that plesiosaurs (according to discoveries from the fossil record) where air breathers and spent alot of the at the surface, but whatever is in the loch seems to be very elusive. Also, plesiosaurs didn't travel on land, though it's suggested they laid eggs on the shores, but there have been land sightings of the creature. I think also people are mistaking what they think is a long neck and small head, but I think this could be something else from the animal.

I stayed at a B&B on my first visit to Loch Ness and the landlady claimed many of the locals had told her they'd seen the upturned boat Nessie over the years.

@@SamuelBlack84 When you live in a converted library van and (presumably) live a very simple life, I don't suppose you need that much money. Plus there would be no shortage of tourists willing to buy, there were a few there the day I visited
To be fair the film footage showing something odd in the water only gets interest because its filmed on Loch Ness. If that was seen on a lake with no Monster Tradition no one would think anything about it, yet because people say a Monster in Loch Ness is there , oh it could be the Monster!!
This creature is either a very large eel, perhaps a species we dont know or much about. Oor it could maybe be a group of wells catfish or the like, and i also know leeches,( which remain quite small) yet go on land,eat blood and bodily juices, they swim vertical like an inch worm., they can also ball themselves up small. Maybe a primordial leech species, thats why when seen on land it was slug like, like a big glob....not globster, ...
Its plural, Loch Ness Monsters. Biologically impossible for there to be only one creature whatever it may be. One day someone will have a sighting and have a drone video camera at the ready to get up and close.
There are videos her on the tube that have clear as day video of what I believe us the same creature as Nessie. This video was taken in Florida if I'm not mistaken. It's some kind of long creature with a horse looking head. It comes right up to some paddle boarders. I wish we could still leave links on here.
I think Operation Deepscan is the best evidence for Nessie and her family Moving sonar targets of around 30-40 feet long either alone or in pairs And, they proved that they were animate and very large
But why does it have the Cocoon music? James Horner temp track? Or segway into another theory? TBF my grandparents spent an awful lot of time at Loch Ness and always came back looking young...
Lawrence Bennie Yes, thankfully this one doesn’t insult the viewer! The all too common approach by so many “documentaries” these days are simply thinly-veiled attempts to spin the narrative/opinion of the documentary-maker; NOT provide objective evidence and then allow the viewer to determine their opinion.
@@lgempet2869 I agree. Has to be one of the decent documentaries on Nessie. Insulting the viewers is sadly what documentaries are like these days when discussing these subjects.
Nessie is a wonderful mystery. What the hunt needs is an army of drone cameras along the shores so when someone sees a Nessie, they fire up a drone and get it out on to the loch, above the Nessie to get a video of it. The snag with the drone system is, they'll all get stolen.
People have been virtually watching for Nessie almost nonstop for decades Operation Deepscan I believe is the best evidence along with the Dinsdale film
Does anyone know when this was shown and whether it was repeated at all in the mid-late 90s?. Reason I ask is a few days ago I was looking through some old TV listings scans I found online from about Sept or Oct 1996, and in it it lists this documentary but says it was a repeat which was shown originally as part of series of programmes. I only ever recall seeing this broadcast on Channel 4 the once. I wonder why this documentary doesn't appear on IMDB under the many Loch Ness documentaries, even the narrator of the programme under his IMDB and official site credits makes no mention of it either.
Lol. I first used the internet in 1991, when we called it the "world wide web," and emails were sent by textual command line code, using the "mailto:" command, because most "Windows" interfaces were still in the design or development stage. I was involved in the project that produced the first true Windows systems on multiple platforms (Unix and PC). "Windows" were NOT the sole, copyrighted property of Microsoft, but most people don't know that. The emergence of Windows led to having a computer in nearly every home because operating Windows systems and apps didn't require you to be a computer programmer or a genius. Microsoft had developed Windows 3.1 sometime between 1992 and 1995, which was a mix of rudimentary Windows and DOS commands. Some Unix computers had a similar rudimentary Window type interface. I think the Unix computers I used, and maybe the mainframe computers, were the only ones that could access the web (internet), in those days. I was totally clueless about the means of connecting those computers to the internet and to each other. In those days, if one computer in a LAN network crashed, it could make all the other LAN networked computers crash, and if you hadn't "saved" your work, it would be gone. The Macintosh interface led the way, in the development of a fully integrated "Windows" type interface, but those old Mac computers cost a lot of money and had no hard drives -- does anybody remember them? You had to save work onto floppy discs. The PCs were the first to have internal hard drives, I think, and 240 MB or so was considered a lot of storage space, lol. Because of all this, I find the internet commercials very funny and I'm a little surprised it is being called "the internet," at that stage of its history.
What nutter gets into a submarine the size of a bathtub to search for an alleged MONSTER in lochness ?? What if the monster takes exception to the presence of the aquatic bathtub and decides to get nasty ??
Few worries there Mate! 23 miles x 1mile of water and 700 feet deep.... (You) come along in a bathtub-sized sampling mechanism and "search" for a Monster. I tried a similar experiment based on fractional statistical analysis. I scooped a tumbler of water out of the Pacific Ocean on the Kapiti Coast of New Zealand. ….Not a Whale to be seen. Such a let-down. Conclusion: Whales do not exist in the Ocean. …..Game Over? ps: I'm slightly drunk.
The guy with the drums,needs help.to magic mushrooms,I use to believe in the loch Ness MONSTER,but I'm not sure anymore,the Sandra mannsi photo of lake Champlain,is in my opinion the real deal
Sandra Mansi photo is also FAKE. Look closely and it too falls the wayside. Proportions are off. There's an object right next to the body on the left and the water is shallow in that area. And only one photo of it captured at the time ? So plesiosaurs evolved to hold their necks above the water ? We'd see them much much more often, would we not ? Let sleeping dogs lie. Even the flipper photos are bogus, otherwise, we'd have more evidence for the existence of long-necked aquatic reptiles. It's all just fantasy, really. Made up to give highlanders a sustainable income.
@@markneeley7191 You make the mistake of assuming Champ is a plesiosaur in the first place when there's a far more realistic candidate of species of animal that it could be. Based on the creatures described in the Pete Bodette footage from 2005, Champ seems to be some unknown species of long neck turtle. There's been actual echolocation recorded in the lake that does not match that of a dolphin or a whale and eastern long neck turtles have been shown to be able to produce complex echolocation. The full Bodette footage is not available any more (lawyers, money, long story) aside from the small ABC news segment on it, but there are brief stills of the head and flippers out there from that and even a full body model of the creature made by a researcher who got to watch and analyse the full video for over an hour at the lawyer's house. I believe the Mansi photo shows the neck and parts of the flipper next to it sticking out on the right. Close ups of the photo seem to show an eye or a protrusion of some sort on its head, similar to still of the head on the abc news clip.
Tavy@ a think people tend to forgett how big lochness really is. Its like a small country and at over 750 feet deep, wich is DEEP btw. I believe there could have been something in there for maybe 2 year or more then went back out to sea. When i heard the loch at one time was open to the north sea then of course people could have seen a big 20 to 30 feet long sea monster or what they hadnt saw before in the loch. That could easily have happend but i dont think theres anything like that or that big in the loch these days. But i could be wrong. Its only natural when you see a big fish that size and funny shape strait away you can only describe it as looking like a monster? Well there is sea monsters in lakes and rivers. But lochness has that special aura about it.
It has caves that a group of scientists wanted funding to explore, but nobody was interested. Possibly, they were worried about being labelled 'monster hunters' and it would hamper their career Still, it's extremely frustrating
There are numerous sea creatures,criptids,, that were thought to be extinct and then they found the giant squid and the coelacanth fish and the pigmy whale!!! On and on and on and on and on!!! So WE as human beings do not know all things in the ocean or the woods or space, even though they think they do 😏
Loch Ness (The Lake) is virtually a dead body of water....its steep cliffs and rock base don't allow for vegetation and plankton to flourish so their is very little fish species.....now you tell me on a scientific level how something as large as the Loch Ness Monster is supposed to live in a body of water without food to sustain its self? Also....ALL these sightings....Loch Ness brings in 40+ Million dollars yearly for tourism I suspect this ruse is basically fuelled by that fact alone! You can choose to just believe what people see...but science doesn't work like that....a physical specimen is needed to study like any animal....could you imagine we went on what people think they saw ? LoL.....we'd have Bigfoot, Unicorns & Leprechauns in animal biology books lol
@@andyn46 Not much pal, I am well aware of my naivety, and I allow myself the indulgence. And I also don’t care if it makes me look like a fool. It’s nice to have a bit of fun sometimes. 😜
I have just come across a Channel 4 listing in a newspaper from the 30th April 1995 which mentions a documentary called "Encounters: Secrets of Loch Ness". If this is the same programme as this documentary then it must've been repeated later than April 1995 as the recording I used to have of this Loch Ness doc was from around 1996. I always thought this programme was part of the "To the Ends of the Earth" documentary series which made the Bigfoot documentary aired in 1997 with wildlife photographer John Waters, but it appears the Nessie programme was part of a different series.
@Embracing01 Just in case you’re unaware, the “Ends of the Earth” documentary is here: th-cam.com/video/DRU7ECU81LY/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared To the best of my knowledge, it’s a UK version of a NOVA Documentary- “The Beast of Loch Ness” (also on TH-cam).
As a kid, I was fascinated by these documentaries, hoping that they would find something. As an adult, I remember the naivety of being a kid and thinking that Nessie was real.. but even though now I know there is no monster, I'd like to think that long long ago - there was.
I'm almost 40, and I have become a lot more spectical of many things, but I still find the unknown far more interesting than the vacuous exploits of day to day life
Does anybody know the title of the beautiful song in the ending? I have this documentary on video cassette, and If I remember right, one can read: Music: Andrew Todd. Can anybody please help? Thanks!
@@beo191 This documentary was sent on norwegian television back in 1996, and someone in my family recorded it on VHS. Unfortunately, I don't know who made it. I don't have VHS-machine now.
if these creatures (stop calling them monsters. we are the monsters!) are smart enough not to get caught all these yrs, I say leave them the hell alone!
As much food as an animal that size would need to consume daily the number is so large you can't comprehend it. Basically Loch Ness has the best fishing in Europe. Secondly imagine how much ummm "poop" an animal that size would release. Maybe that's why he said "the Loch is black, stained with Pete." I guess "Pete" is a Scottish euphemism.
@@vinegartom8380; Peat is black, especially when wet, when dried it is brown or dark brown. Those little peat plant pots, are made of peat that have been washed clean of the rotted matter. Used to be my punishment as a lad on our moor farm when in trouble, digging the peat out for the fire, dirty, wet and heavy.
By zee vay. The best nessie movie is a 1960's comedy called "What a Whopper". It's has Adam Faith in the lead and he sings the opening song title too. Good road trip move.
in reality, plesiosaurs where extremely fast and agile and wouldn't just be sitting on the surface lumbering along like a swan. a few quick low gulps of air and they are back down 20-80 ft looking for fish.
That's why I don't think it's a plesiosaur. I think it's something very unusual looking. There's a book I have called the Unexplained by Rueben Stone where it mentions the idea that Nessie may be an elephant squid, and a guy named Doc Sheils drew a sketch of what he through it may look like. There are a few photos which may corroborate this theory, one is an google earth image showing some very strange squid-like object just under the water. People assume it's a plesiosaur because they see what they think is a long neck and a small head above the water, but that may not be a neck and head. There's an account from 1932 by a colonel Fordyde of seeing a strange looking animal moving from woodland next to the loch which resembled a cross between an elephant and a horse, from the rear it appeared to have hair and a long trunk. I also remember a photo taken in the late 90s or early 2000s of one of the small jetties on the loch showing a very strange looking animal stood on the jetty which looked horse like.
@@E.C.Animation I mean, he is talking about researching plankton and stuff in the loch, the interviewer then goes onto a tangent about belief and credibility, so it makes sense he is agitated. Also recall some curator at the Natural History Museum got sacked for even trying to look for the Loch Ness Monster.

I loved your commentary with Scottish prose. I live at the other extreme end of Britain, the Duchy of Cornwall. I had a good café friend, an old Scottish woman, Nettie, 95 years old when she died, We always told each other our legends and myths, she took her stories seriously, or was it the feeling she put into her stories? She was a good raconter as many Scots are when speaking of legends and myths. But, she never took ours seriously, so I will say in memory of her to you what she always said to me, "Gi' awee, ye wee dafty, did ye granny tell ye that story to scare ye"?
Recently me.and my son Callum were standing at the waters of the Clyde in Greenock and we saw a strange anomaly with the water. So, to the right of us the water was riply and to the left of us the water was dead smooth and still. The problem was that the boundarie between was sharp. One side choppy other side smooth and a long line as far as we could see. There was no barrier or obstruction to create such a sharp line between them. If it was the wind then there would be a smoother gradient to the transition. There was nothing under the water. The line between the 2 wasn't straight but long gently windy patterns. It was like an invisible obstruction was there. Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon?
Surely if the Lochness monster was real we would have captured it or have solid proof by now. Perhaps all these witnesses may have had a few too many Johnny Walker's!
Better doing that than working in an office in a city making a rich bloke richer. you know, it's not the pay check he's bothered about, the prize is to know that Nessie actually exists and he can prove it. It's research and he has an artistic talent to bring in a few bob, he's happy, he's at peace, don't criticise and belittle him and his life, not everyone wants a conformed and controlled life in society.
If the one who claim the sightings was getting money we can say he was the fraudulent or the one who destroyed the the claims the we could easily know who is the real fraud

A fascinating book: A Postcard from Nessie, The Loch Ness Monster in Old Postcards (eBay)
Love the old commercials.
Me too is it weird that I deliberately search ads from the early 90s
Me too, it gives me flashes of childhood sensations ☺️
The Internet one had me laughing the most.
Johnny English on the hunt for Nessie.
Don’t you love modern adverts full of identity politics tho
Taken straight from an old Betamax tape. I love it.
To be fair the film footage showing something odd in the water only gets interest because its filmed on Loch Ness. If that was seen on a lake with no Monster Tradition no one would think anything about it, yet because people say a Monster in Loch Ness is there , oh it could be the Monster!!
This creature is either a very large eel, perhaps a species we dont know or much about. Oor it could maybe be a group of wells catfish or the like, and i also know leeches,( which remain quite small) yet go on land,eat blood and bodily juices, they swim vertical like an inch worm., they can also ball themselves up small. Maybe a primordial leech species, thats why when seen on land it was slug like, like a big glob....not globster, ...
at 542 this guy says he was the one who killed the idea of the lockness monster and then says he saw it and brings him back to life LOL
Its plural, Loch Ness Monsters. Biologically impossible for there to be only one creature whatever it may be. One day someone will have a sighting and have a drone video camera at the ready to get up and close.
There are videos her on the tube that have clear as day video of what I believe us the same creature as Nessie. This video was taken in Florida if I'm not mistaken. It's some kind of long creature with a horse looking head. It comes right up to some paddle boarders. I wish we could still leave links on here.
I think Operation Deepscan is the best evidence for Nessie and her family
Moving sonar targets of around 30-40 feet long either alone or in pairs
And, they proved that they were animate and very large
The Surgeons photo was not faked. They claimed it was to garner themselves attention and to discredit another.

We humans can be so strange sometimes.
really nice vintage footage with a classic Loch Ness (the movie with Ted Danson?) trailer and old commercials. for the nessie completist . . . .
But why does it have the Cocoon music? James Horner temp track? Or segway into another theory? TBF my grandparents spent an awful lot of time at Loch Ness and always came back looking young...
@@darthmong7196 It's a lovely place...
That Ted Danson movie was actually pretty good. Cheesy but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Del Yep, one of the guilty pleasures ;)
Excellent documentary; maybe the best on the subject!
Lawrence Bennie Yes, thankfully this one doesn’t insult the viewer!
The all too common approach by so many “documentaries” these days are simply thinly-veiled attempts to spin the narrative/opinion of the documentary-maker; NOT provide objective evidence and then allow the viewer to determine their opinion.
@@lgempet2869 I agree. Has to be one of the decent documentaries on Nessie. Insulting the viewers is sadly what documentaries are like these days when discussing these subjects.
Nessie is a wonderful mystery. What the hunt needs is an army of drone cameras along the shores so when someone sees a Nessie, they fire up a drone and get it out on to the loch, above the Nessie to get a video of it.
The snag with the drone system is, they'll all get stolen.
People have been virtually watching for Nessie almost nonstop for decades
Operation Deepscan I believe is the best evidence along with the Dinsdale film
Does anyone know when this was shown and whether it was repeated at all in the mid-late 90s?. Reason I ask is a few days ago I was looking through some old TV listings scans I found online from about Sept or Oct 1996, and in it it lists this documentary but says it was a repeat which was shown originally as part of series of programmes. I only ever recall seeing this broadcast on Channel 4 the once. I wonder why this documentary doesn't appear on IMDB under the many Loch Ness documentaries, even the narrator of the programme under his IMDB and official site credits makes no mention of it either.
Am I the only one who thinks that internet advert is crazy?!
They were spot on with the VR masks!!!!
Lol. I first used the internet in 1991, when we called it the "world wide web,"
and emails were sent by textual command line code, using the "mailto:" command, because most "Windows" interfaces were still in the design or development stage.
I was involved in the project that produced the first true Windows systems on multiple platforms (Unix and PC). "Windows" were NOT the sole, copyrighted property of Microsoft, but most people don't know that. The emergence of Windows led to having a computer in nearly every home because operating Windows systems and apps didn't require you to be a computer programmer or a genius.
Microsoft had developed Windows 3.1 sometime between 1992 and 1995, which was a mix of rudimentary Windows and DOS commands. Some Unix computers had a similar rudimentary Window type interface. I think the Unix computers I used, and maybe the mainframe computers, were the only ones that could access the web (internet), in those days. I was totally clueless about the means of connecting those computers to the internet and to each other. In those days, if one computer in a LAN network crashed, it could make all the other LAN networked computers crash, and if you hadn't "saved" your work, it would be gone.
The Macintosh interface led the way, in the development of a fully integrated "Windows" type interface, but those old Mac computers cost a lot of money and had no hard drives -- does anybody remember them? You had to save work onto floppy discs. The PCs were the first to have internal hard drives, I think, and 240 MB or so was considered a lot of storage space, lol.
Because of all this, I find the internet commercials very funny and I'm a little surprised it is being called "the internet," at that stage of its history.
It is funny watching it now.
What nutter gets into a submarine the size of a bathtub to search for an alleged MONSTER in lochness ?? What if the monster takes exception to the presence of the aquatic bathtub and decides to get nasty ??
Then they become canned meat. lol
Few worries there Mate!
23 miles x 1mile of water and 700 feet deep....
(You) come along in a bathtub-sized sampling mechanism and "search" for a Monster.
I tried a similar experiment based on fractional statistical analysis.
I scooped a tumbler of water out of the Pacific Ocean on the Kapiti Coast of New Zealand.
….Not a Whale to be seen.
Such a let-down.
Conclusion:
Whales do not exist in the Ocean.
…..Game Over?

Genius question 🙄

Then the monster is proven. But thats not gonna happen.

I've been looking for a documentary about Loch Ness from the 90s following a group of Scottish scientists on the Loch, but I can't fund it anywhere
The guy with the drums,needs help.to magic mushrooms,I use to believe in the loch Ness MONSTER,but I'm not sure anymore,the Sandra mannsi photo of lake Champlain,is in my opinion the real deal
The guy with the drums badly needed a lie down in a darkened room😂😂😂😂
The Lake Champlain ? Please give me some links thank you all the best
Sandra Mansi photo is also FAKE. Look closely and it too falls the wayside. Proportions are off. There's an object right next to the body on the left and the water is shallow in that area. And only one photo of it captured at the time ? So plesiosaurs evolved to hold their necks above the water ? We'd see them much much more often, would we not ? Let sleeping dogs lie. Even the flipper photos are bogus, otherwise, we'd have more evidence for the existence of long-necked aquatic reptiles. It's all just fantasy, really. Made up to give highlanders a sustainable income.
@@markneeley7191 You make the mistake of assuming Champ is a plesiosaur in the first place when there's a far more realistic candidate of species of animal that it could be. Based on the creatures described in the Pete Bodette footage from 2005, Champ seems to be some unknown species of long neck turtle. There's been actual echolocation recorded in the lake that does not match that of a dolphin or a whale and eastern long neck turtles have been shown to be able to produce complex echolocation. The full Bodette footage is not available any more (lawyers, money, long story) aside from the small ABC news segment on it, but there are brief stills of the head and flippers out there from that and even a full body model of the creature made by a researcher who got to watch and analyse the full video for over an hour at the lawyer's house.
I believe the Mansi photo shows the neck and parts of the flipper next to it sticking out on the right. Close ups of the photo seem to show an eye or a protrusion of some sort on its head, similar to still of the head on the abc news clip.
Tavy@ a think people tend to forgett how big lochness really is. Its like a small country and at over 750 feet deep, wich is DEEP btw. I believe there could have been something in there for maybe 2 year or more then went back out to sea. When i heard the loch at one time was open to the north sea then of course people could have seen a big 20 to 30 feet long sea monster or what they hadnt saw before in the loch. That could easily have happend but i dont think theres anything like that or that big in the loch these days. But i could be wrong. Its only natural when you see a big fish that size and funny shape strait away you can only describe it as looking like a monster? Well there is sea monsters in lakes and rivers. But lochness has that special aura about it.
It has caves that a group of scientists wanted funding to explore, but nobody was interested. Possibly, they were worried about being labelled 'monster hunters' and it would hamper their career
Still, it's extremely frustrating
17:45 - If I were an animal trying to remain in stealth mode, I am not coming anywhere near any broadcasting like that.
Why would it hide ?
38:01 That Rowan Atkinson ad was quite fitting
Loved the internet one the most.
Johnny English's mission is to capture Nessie.
There are numerous sea creatures,criptids,, that were thought to be extinct and then they found the giant squid and the coelacanth fish and the pigmy whale!!! On and on and on and on and on!!! So WE as human beings do not know all things in the ocean or the woods or space, even though they think they do 😏
Literally no one thinks that, least of all scientists. You simply have a horrible grasp of history and science.
I don't need proof to believe. I believe what honest people say and that's good enough for me.
Fool
One can be both honest and mistaken.
Loch Ness (The Lake) is virtually a dead body of water....its steep cliffs and rock base don't allow for vegetation and plankton to flourish so their is very little fish species.....now you tell me on a scientific level how something as large as the Loch Ness Monster is supposed to live in a body of water without food to sustain its self? Also....ALL these sightings....Loch Ness brings in 40+ Million dollars yearly for tourism I suspect this ruse is basically fuelled by that fact alone! You can choose to just believe what people see...but science doesn't work like that....a physical specimen is needed to study like any animal....could you imagine we went on what people think they saw ? LoL.....we'd have Bigfoot, Unicorns & Leprechauns in animal biology books lol

@@andyn46 Not much pal, I am well aware of my naivety, and I allow myself the indulgence. And I also don’t care if it makes me look like a fool. It’s nice to have a bit of fun sometimes. 😜
Great documentary....Nessie is a great myth and mystery...leave it be.
I have just come across a Channel 4 listing in a newspaper from the 30th April 1995 which mentions a documentary called "Encounters: Secrets of Loch Ness". If this is the same programme as this documentary then it must've been repeated later than April 1995 as the recording I used to have of this Loch Ness doc was from around 1996. I always thought this programme was part of the "To the Ends of the Earth" documentary series which made the Bigfoot documentary aired in 1997 with wildlife photographer John Waters, but it appears the Nessie programme was part of a different series.
@Embracing01 Just in case you’re unaware, the “Ends of the Earth” documentary is here: th-cam.com/video/DRU7ECU81LY/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
To the best of my knowledge, it’s a UK version of a NOVA Documentary- “The Beast of Loch Ness” (also on TH-cam).

Interesting,Thxs.
Delightful! None of the films show anything that can't be explained by the known. However - don't stop looking!
As a kid, I was fascinated by these documentaries, hoping that they would find something. As an adult, I remember the naivety of being a kid and thinking that Nessie was real.. but even though now I know there is no monster, I'd like to think that long long ago - there was.
I'm almost 40, and I have become a lot more spectical of many things, but I still find the unknown far more interesting than the vacuous exploits of day to day life
Ah at last... A true English documentary about Loch Ness..............
I think the best ones are Scottish.

if these creatures (stop calling them monsters. we are the monsters!) are smart enough not to get caught all these yrs, I say leave them the hell alone!
"If" this creature does exist, what makes scientists think that it eats fish? Couldn't it be a vegetarian like a lot of other fish?
I think that a possible monster needs a lot of proteins to get big.
@@grimlund Whales are bigger and they eat plankton. Even land animals that are big are often vegetarian such as elephants.
As much food as an animal that size would need to consume daily the number is so large you can't comprehend it. Basically Loch Ness has the best fishing in Europe. Secondly imagine how much ummm "poop" an animal that size would release. Maybe that's why he said "the Loch is black, stained with Pete." I guess "Pete" is a Scottish euphemism.
I believe the word you are looking for is peat, not pete. Peat is a brown material comprised of decomposed vegetable matter
In addition, Pete is my mate who left some unfortunate stains on the bank of Loch Ness following a rough boat trip. It could also be referring to him.
@@vinegartom8380; Peat is black, especially when wet, when dried it is brown or dark brown. Those little peat plant pots, are made of peat that have been washed clean of the rotted matter. Used to be my punishment as a lad on our moor farm when in trouble, digging the peat out for the fire, dirty, wet and heavy.
17:40 fucking lol.
By zee vay. The best nessie movie is a 1960's comedy called "What a Whopper". It's has Adam Faith in the lead and he sings the opening song title too. Good road trip move.
in reality, plesiosaurs where extremely fast and agile and wouldn't just be sitting on the surface lumbering along like a swan. a few quick low gulps of air and they are back down 20-80 ft looking for fish.
That's why I don't think it's a plesiosaur. I think it's something very unusual looking. There's a book I have called the Unexplained by Rueben Stone where it mentions the idea that Nessie may be an elephant squid, and a guy named Doc Sheils drew a sketch of what he through it may look like. There are a few photos which may corroborate this theory, one is an google earth image showing some very strange squid-like object just under the water. People assume it's a plesiosaur because they see what they think is a long neck and a small head above the water, but that may not be a neck and head. There's an account from 1932 by a colonel Fordyde of seeing a strange looking animal moving from woodland next to the loch which resembled a cross between an elephant and a horse, from the rear it appeared to have hair and a long trunk. I also remember a photo taken in the late 90s or early 2000s of one of the small jetties on the loch showing a very strange looking animal stood on the jetty which looked horse like.
The seals live 2 lochs up
That video at 14.57 u can see that video footage of the monster what ever it is i can make out it flippers n tail and a head but not a neck

Right! He has never seen it but he won't even discuss those who claim they have. That's not very scientific of him.
What a Narrow minded Christopher Lee wannabe...
@@E.C.Animation I mean, he is talking about researching plankton and stuff in the loch, the interviewer then goes onto a tangent about belief and credibility, so it makes sense he is agitated. Also recall some curator at the Natural History Museum got sacked for even trying to look for the Loch Ness Monster.

I loved your commentary with Scottish prose. I live at the other extreme end of Britain, the Duchy of Cornwall. I had a good café friend, an old Scottish woman, Nettie, 95 years old when she died, We always told each other our legends and myths, she took her stories seriously, or was it the feeling she put into her stories? She was a good raconter as many Scots are when speaking of legends and myths. But, she never took ours seriously, so I will say in memory of her to you what she always said to me, "Gi' awee, ye wee dafty, did ye granny tell ye that story to scare ye"?
Recently me.and my son Callum were standing at the waters of the Clyde in Greenock and we saw a strange anomaly with the water. So, to the right of us the water was riply and to the left of us the water was dead smooth and still. The problem was that the boundarie between was sharp. One side choppy other side smooth and a long line as far as we could see. There was no barrier or obstruction to create such a sharp line between them. If it was the wind then there would be a smoother gradient to the transition. There was nothing under the water. The line between the 2 wasn't straight but long gently windy patterns. It was like an invisible obstruction was there. Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon?
It could be a strong surface current Alexander on one side, that doesn't mean it was that though. but that is the only possible reason I can think of.

Better doing that than working in an office in a city making a rich bloke richer. you know, it's not the pay check he's bothered about, the prize is to know that Nessie actually exists and he can prove it. It's research and he has an artistic talent to bring in a few bob, he's happy, he's at peace, don't criticise and belittle him and his life, not everyone wants a conformed and controlled life in society.

When was this documentary first aired? Bit old is it?
My guess is early '96. The film advertised in the break, (errm.... Loch Ness with Ted Danson) was released in February. Could be earlier into the promotional run because the trailer pinched James Horner's Cocoon score.
Two old people saw King Kong, got freaked out, went home and could've sworn they saw a sauropod like the one that ate a man on a tree in the film.
Monster dinosaur
Nessie is a boy
Its a elephant trunk
Y’all not going to find it stop trying the way you will see it is you have to go in the water when you see it and make a video
It's kinda sad how the creature never existed . It was a hoax from the start.
There is no messy maybe an enormous eel
No messy? Lol
Probably a seal 🦭
I know the species swimming around in the loch. It's called a cash cow. Very sought after by the tourist industry
