Also in the brief time we get to see him he appears an easygoing, nice chap. The sort of person you'd happily spend a few hours in a pub with. This mystery is in very good hands!<br />I was particularly intrigued by the cameras he ties to trees, they must surely get stolen quite often? They're like Roland's eyes, peeping across the water hour after hour, day after day. Have they ever recorded anything unusual and Nessie-like, Roland? It's fantastic that this on-site research is taking place.Will Soutarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02005247829328136516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-17987876996033375332018-01-13T15:26:21.740-08:002018-01-13T15:26:21.740-08:00No problem Will.

You remind me of the pioneers who led searches in the 1960s and 70s. The Tim Dinsdale of the internet age! I'm certain your input will give the documentary a boost, Roland.

When I think back over the years to how many I've seen, the thought I have is that pretty much every angle has now been covered. Eyewitnesses, photos, films, hoaxes, psychology, biology, geography, chemistry, you name it, it's been included in a documentary at least once. It's hard to imagine seeing a new one which isn't a rehash. When scanning technology really advances and we can properly 'see' the underwater in 3D over wide areas in one instance, perhaps the subject will be ripe for a new journalistic approach.Will Soutarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02005247829328136516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-53507352412235951732018-01-11T08:03:29.616-08:002018-01-11T08:03:29.616-08:00Incident At Loch Ness is really good, early the be...Incident At Loch Ness is really good, early the best fictional work on The Loch. I'm a film maker myself. Often think about what angle I'd take. I'd either make it a drama set in '33/'34 or about the whole of the events in the 60s. Don't know who they'd be but it would star Peter Capaldi in full Thick Of It swear mode and the guy from Gregory's Girl.... John Gordon Sinclair.

I quite enjoyed the Ted Danson Loch Ness film in an easy watching kind of way, but did feel that there was a gap in the market for a more serious fictional work on the mystery. I think people would be really interested in something like that. A less Disney type of film, something a bit more intriguing.

Maybe I'm a fool but I'd happily take any associated ridicule. These day I'd say I was on balance a non believer but if I saw the creature and knew it existed 100% I'd put up with any grief that came with that. The only "good" photo that I think gets really ridiculed is Doc Shiels' Muppet Photo and he practically invited that himself with the way he presented himself. I used to love that photo as a kid. And that Geordie who took the close up - but he was threatening to shoot it. Also Lachlan Stuart gets it pretty tight... okay, okay now I really think about it there is a lot of grief given out to anyone who takes an interesting photo. Really hope I get my own photo soon. I'll try to get to the Loch this year. Kyle Tittertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07575714238450998417noreply@blogger.com
