Grand Prix: The Killer Years
BBC 4. 21:00pm - 22:00pm
Duration: 1 hour
In the 60s and early 70s it was common for Grand Prix drivers to be killed while racing, often televised for millions to see. Mechanical failure, lethal track design, fire and incompetence snuffed out dozens of young drivers. They had become almost expendable as eager young wannabes queued up at the top teams' gates waiting to take their place.
This is the story of when Grand Prix was out of control.
Featuring many famous drivers including three times world champion Sir Jackie Stewart OBE, twice world champion Emerson Fittipaldi and John Surtees OBE, this exciting but shocking film explores how Grand Prix drivers grew sick of their closest friends being killed and finally took control of their destiny.
After much waste of life, the prestigious Belgian and German Grands Prix would be boycotted, with drivers insisting that safety be put first. But it would be a long and painful time before anything would change, and a lot of talented young men would be cut down in their prime.
This is their story.
'Something was terribly wrong. I loved the sport, but it was wrong. I prayed to God whether or not to continue.' - Emerson Fittipaldi
'It made me angry. The sport was way wrong.' - Sir Jackie Stewart OBE.

Hidden Talent 4/6
Channel 4. 21:00pm - 22:00pm
The Hidden Talent experts look for two very different abilities: the natural aptitude for becoming an opera singer and the inbuilt instinct to navigate through the wilderness without a map or a compass.
To find a potential opera singer, Musical Director Stuart Barr puts the participants through a range of singing tests to objectively find someone with the magic combination of range, power and resonance to sing opera.
Out of almost 600 people, 34-year-old charity contracts manager Jayson Khun-Dkar emerges with the hidden talent to be an opera singer. It's a total surprise for someone who can't read music and has had no formal musical training.
For Jayson it's the chance of a lifetime and 'better than winning the lottery because the lottery is just money.' To help Jayson hone his potential, Stuart Barr enlists the help of operatic legend Joy Mammen, who has sung with the best in the business, including Pavarotti.
Alongside daily singing lessons, Jayson learns Italian and works out in the gym. Joy and Stuart's ultimate goal is for Jayson to audition for award-winning operatic production La Boheme in only five months, something that can take years of training to achieve.
As the training intensifies, Jayson's shyness threatens to overshadow his natural ability. Can he overcome his inhibitions and will his voice be up to the standard of a professional baritone?
As Jayson has to train hard to realise his natural potential, the experts search for a much more instinctive ability - to naturally navigate through the remotest landscapes.
Five hundred people took two cutting-edge tests overseen by neuroscientist Dr Hugo Spiers. The tests reveal ten candidates who had no idea they had a natural talent for navigation.
None was more surprised than 26-year-old science teacher Adele Rhea, who admits to frequently getting lost in the country lanes near her home.
Adele's childhood dream was to be an RAF pilot but her arms were too short. She reapplied to be a navigator but again her arms were considered too short. Could finding her hidden talent for navigation prove this was a missed opportunity?
Adele's final challenge is to navigate between two points 11 kilometres apart in North Wales, across rough terrain and in unpredictable weather with only her instincts to guide her.

The Great Euro Crash with Robert Preston
BBC 2. 21:00pm - 22:00pm
Duration: 1 hour
For more than two years Europe has teetered on the edge of an economic precipice - one of the factors that has pushed Britain back into recession. How exactly did Europe get itself into the current financial mess? Talking to historians, economists and politicians, BBC business editor Robert Peston takes a long view of the euro - from Churchill's vision of a United States of Europe to the bail-outs of Greece, Portugal and Ireland. Meeting a property developer in Ireland, a taxi driver in Rome and a German manufacturing worker, the film exposes the high cost being paid by European workers today for the dream of monetary union - and how close Europe came to a complete banking meltdown. The crisis could yet claim another victim - Britain, with its vast financial sector, would be dragged down by the collapse of the euro. The cost for saving the euro may be high, but the alternative would be a return to the economic mayhem of the 1930s
