'It was coming right at us, real fast, with a big wake. It was throwing its head all over the place, and it must have been about 100 feet long - a snake-like dinosaur!'
Eye witnesses from around the world recall their startling encounters with unknown ocean giants. But what are the creatures they have seen?
Can the sightings be explained, or might there still be some surprises in store for those who study life in the sea?

by Ngaio Marsh
Dramatised by Alan Downer
With Nigel Graham as Chief Det Insp Roderick Alleyn, Laurence Payne as Jonathan Royal and Steven Pacey as Aubrey Mandrake

Jonathan Royal is a man rich enough to indulge his somewhat extravagant sense of the theatrical. But when he hits on the bizarre idea of throwing a weekend party with guests who have good reasons to loathe one another, his malicious comedy quickly turns to tragedy.

Born into a Jewish family in Berlin, Agnes Bernelle absorbed the atmosphere of the literary and political cabarets in the 20s and 30s. A refugee in London she worked with other exiles in topical reviews, and broadcast counter-propaganda to
Germany. Her most recent venture is a musical based on the satirical poems of Joachim Ringelnatz.
