About

In this charming family fantasy, disgraced and disgruntled American scientist Dr John Dempsey (Ted Danson) is sent to Scotland to debunk the existence of the elusive ‘beastie’ believed to inhabit Loch Ness, accompanied by eager cryptid-lover Adrian (James Frain).

Making the most of its picturesque Scottish locations, including the suitably misty and mysterious Loch, Dempsey’s journey from cynic to true believer is populated by colourful locals, including cantankerous ‘bailiff of the Loch’ (Ian Holm), romantic interest Laura (Joely Richardson) and her wide-eyed daughter Isabel (Kirsty Graham). Nessie is realised by Jim Henson's Creature Shop with a combination of computer animation and animatronic puppetry.
