its been in before but you might be interested in 'Mike Hawthorn: On the Limit' showing on Yesterday. A really well executed documentary with some fantastic historic black and white footage, not least of the disaster at Le Mans in 1955 ( not for the faint hearted)

Also 'Dinosaur 13' on Sky documentary...the amazing story of finding the only almost complete Tyrannosaurus Rex and what happened after. If you watch it, take the time to pause it and read the various news clippings shown as the programme is so biased in favour of the 'aggrieved' it's almost unbelievable.

Both repeats... esp the Dinosaur 13 one... Must have been aired about 5 or 6 times in recent years, but as you say, well worth watching if you have not see before

I watched some of the Hunger Games tonight
Another repeat of course but I have always managed to miss it in the past. quite enjoyed it and set the box to record the second part ( which is, confusingly, called part one )
