Nice to see you. This week, a British legend that refuses to die; A "Man-Monkey" on a lonely canal has evolved into something far more tangible and terrifying. We discus a history of animal killings and a high-level cover-up at a grand stately home, where staff were warned to keep quiet about the "hairy man-beast" stalking the grounds.

We then track a recent wave of terrifying encounters, from an upright, sprinting wolf-like creature that haunted a retired couple in Cannock Chase, to a "massive monkey thing" seen running on all fours through a Cambridge suburb. The investigation culminates in the most disturbing story of all: the mysterious 2022 death of a man in a remote wood, found with unexplained injuries after a case that was immediately sealed by an official wall of silence.

From a 150-year-old phantom to a modern-day predator, we piece together the evidence and ask what is really haunting the British countryside. And Bruce Forsyth.
