Stephen Fry attempts to unfurl all sorts of mysteries around extraordinary beasts and real-life creatures across history, which it is hard to believe could possibly exist. Visiting locations from Utah, USA, to Loch Ness in Scotland, the actor delves into the mythological - such as dragons, mermaids and unicorns - alongside examinations of natural world beasts, such as vervet monkeys, narwhals and manatees. Stephen also chats to JK Rowling about the inspirations behind the creatures populating her hit novels and to visual effects supervisor Christian Manz, who has brought countless magical creations to life
