A body found in the Welsh hills turns out to be thousands of years old.

4 Extra Debut. A body found in the Welsh hills turns out to be thousands of years old, revealing a world of hidden guests. Stars Alex Tregear.

Following an anonymous tip off, a body is discovered in the Welsh hills. At first thought to be recent murder victim because of items found with the body, analysis reveals it to be thousands of years old. A series of events are triggered which appear to reveal a parallel world. Like the Shining Guest ants which inhabit Wood ants' nests and seem invisible to their highly aggressive hosts, the inhabitants of this secret world, the guests, have existed at the edges of our reality throughout time. Recorded on location, this haunting and atmospheric drama is written and narrated by Paul Evans.
