    Episode 2: Full well I served my Master

    Monday April 27th 2026. No longer convinced that what brought them to the Isle is wholly genuine, the investigators set about trying to collect hard evidence through camera traps, talking to locals and buying everyone in the pub a drink. Their interview with Old Jim Roberston recounts the night three of his friends vanished without a trace, and explains why he believes it was the beginning of something far bigger than a simple disappearance.

    Episode 1: When I was Bound Apprentice

    Sunday 26th April 2026 When reports of unexplained lights and a string of grisly animal attacks begin circulating on Instagram from the remote Hebridean island of Eilean Draoch, most dismiss the stories as little more than local folklore. But for the documentary team at CD Productions, a conspiracy theory linking the island's tragedies to extraterrestrial visitors proves too intriguing to ignore. Travelling to what is normally regarded as one of Scotland's premier wildlife destinations, the team sets out to investigate claims of alien involvement in a series of disturbing incidents that have plagued the island recently. Interviewing residents, examining historical records, and following a trail of eyewitness accounts stretching back generations, they soon discover that the truth behind Eilean Draoch's reputation may be far stranger, and far more dangerous, than anyone expected. Are the stories merely the product of isolation, fear, and coincidence? Or is there something hidden among the island's cliffs, forests, and ancient ruins that defies conventional explanation? Join us as we uncover the mystery of Eilean Draoch in an investigation that blurs the line between documentary and nightmare.
