Researching Manx history back to 'the big bang' has convinced author Derek Winterbottom that American businessman David Drew Howe has absolutely no claim as King of Mann.

But Mr Winterbottom (left) - talking to Stuart Peters about his new book 'Profile of the Isle of Man' - says the claim shouldn't be taken too seriously:
Faulty device believed to have triggered multi-agency search effort
Coastguard and RNLI teams involved in 'extensive' maritime search
