Legend of the Bristol crocodile
It was the year 2014, and the news making the headlines of British newspapers wasn't about crime or politics - it was the possibility that a crocodile was on the loose in the River Avon in the heart of the city of Bristol. A bus driver alerted the police when he saw what he was convinced was a crocodile swimming in the water. The story is now the subject of a short documentary. But driver Jolyon Rea is adamant he saw a crocodile, and he shares his story with Nights.
