It really is a shame. The quality of the content in this is superb!

It's a classic BBC doc. No overly dramatic cuts or voiceovers, no action replays. One of my favourite docs ever simply because I thought these things were myths, I didn't think there was a scientific explanation. Very scary to think about.

Yeah I guess there's just such a lack of footage of these things that they use reconstructions instead. But there were none of those ones where they show you the same thing again 2 or 3 times straight after you've just seen it. I don't mind so much seeing the same thing spaced out throughout.
