A link to a fascinating programme on Radio 4.
High up a remote Himalayan Mountain in Nepal is a Buddhist monastery. The monks say there is no doubt yeti's roam the high forest, they see and hear them and they sometimes even attack people. The tantalising prospect of being the first to prove that this mythical ape like creature actually exists has been the goal many explorers - but the beast has always evaded capture. Then the discovery of a supposed yeti's hand kept in the monastery set off a remarkable chain of events that drew in a mountain explorer, an American oil tycoon, a Hollywood film star and a high tech lab for forensic science in Scotland. But is it a yeti?

It has all the ingredients of Indiana Jones. Includes "How I Mend My Hat" by actor James Stewart and "How to Smuggle a Finger in your Lingerie" by his wife Gloria.
What R4 does best!
