Did these reviewers maybe expect live footage? Or are they jealous US BigFooters who dislike the idea of European sightings? ...it's a british documentary featuring interviews with eye witness accounts. That took Turner around 2 years to put together, and as he mentiones, only one in 6 witnesses want to speak about the experience on camera (due to the looming ridicule)
Give it at least the first 50min and just listen to the mostly reasonable thoughts & ideas - these expressed are no different and the same valid as any in bbc wildlife documentaries.
Yes looking at google maps Britain doesn't have much vast woodland, but, as mentioned not as many wild/crosscountry hikers as abroad, as England has the nasty ancient trespass law preventing access to a lot of woods - means most walkers stay on (public) paths, and that at daytime.
So No, noy entirely impossible to stay unseen as a nightactive, nightvision-capable species to evade humans. Also much more ancient crumbling forgotten mines in England no-one dares to set foot into.

Contrary to all the many of the nonsense reviews below. This does not sensationalize bigfoot like all the American fake documentaries with people in big foot furry suits. Some very personal stories, and explorations into the fact wildmen live all over the globe and some reviewers claims its only in the US you hear of big foot. I know of stories of wildmen in the hills of Wales, Scotland and also in Cornish territories. Don't expect an evidence based documentary looking at fur, foot prints or science but expect relevant accounts. One is very emotional but understandable.
Watching this documentary was enjoyable, compare this to the many American nonsense with old men with guns running around screaming and shooting, and those faking bigfoot and this documentary oozes far more common sense and raises some interesting questions.

In a nutshell; Zero physical evidence. Repeated gaps in logic. Pathetic non-answers. Witnesses were mostly children at the time. Film maker thinks they may be spirit beings which pretty much absolves the need to have a decent answer or shred of evidence for any of it. Maybe BigFoot has a workshop at the North Pole and can only be seen by good little children who believe in him. BigFoot is always thought of as a he for some reason. Did the witnesses see something other than just a big foot and they're not telling us? Was Mrs. Bigfoot left back at the cave bigbarefoot and pregnant? And what good table manners they must have; never leaving a trace of having either hunted or gathered after having nourished their massive frames.
This guy made this show here out of (almost literally) nothing. In wet old England I'd at least expect some decent fake footprint castings.
As an just one example of the investigative shoddiness here; the crazy lady mentions caves but there is no effort to confirm her claims about them or get the perspective of an expert English caver who would know many of those areas well. He just takes everybody's word for everything.
To sum it up... another big bigfoot nothing burger minus the toppings, i.e., the ridiculous antics of Finding Bigfoot and the like. Could and should have told the whole story in 30 minutes. Crime to call it a "documentary" as there was nothing to actually document.
Basically, the North American Bigfoot myth has been beat to death over the past 25 years or so. But to try and squeeze a few more bucks out of the deal (or just jump on the band wagon extremely late) we'll look under a few rocks in places like Oz and the UK and see who will slither out and talk to us.

Anti science at large
This is a very strange film to review, granted it has woeful effects, unreliable witnesses but it's it's anti science creationist dogma that stands out
If it was a work of fantasy it would just be a poor film. But as a documentary it ignores facts and cherry picks it's creationist points
Certainly the film has its alt-right pedigree coming from the same director as the anti semantic 'don't mention the reptilians'

From the film title and the first few minutes watching you might think that this film is a mockumentary. Sadly it's not
It claims to be a factual documentary , there is a lot of doubt about it being factual a clearly a lot of facts made up.
The film by the way is awfully slow, boring and repetitive.
The funniest aspect of this film is that according to imbd this film supposedly had a budget of a million dollars, now that unlike this film did make me laught
