with Terry Nutkins Nick Davies and Chris Packham
This week a few myths are exploded. Chris and Nick use a laser beam to prove that the millipede - a creature of a thousand legs - has the wrong name. Pelicans don't store fish in their beaks, as Terry discovers while birdwatching in Florida. In the studio is an animal that technically doesn't exist, and some talking parrots. Are they the cleverest birds?

Continuing a season of films starring the renowned screen actor.
Tonight with Anne Bancroft, Katharine Ross.
Shortly after graduating from college, Benjamin Braddock returns home to a celebratory party. It's there that he discovers a new 'tutor' in the attractive form of Mrs Robinson. Twice his age and worldly wise, the alcoholic Mrs R decides that Benjamin needs instruction in more physical matters after his intellectual struggles....

A witty script, memorable Paul Simon songs and a fine central performance from Dustin Hoffman - in his screen debut - helped make this one of the greatest box office successes in movie history.
