Another chance to see the series about vehicles which defied extinction, and the people who designed them, bought them, and love them today.
Sir Freddie Laker referred to the Dakota, which launched his career in civil aviation, as the workhorse of the skies. From its origins in passenger travel in the 1930s, through the Second World War - when more than 10,000 were built - to its return to civilian use, the Dakota has flown more miles and carried more passengers and cargo than any other aeroplane in the world. Sixty years after its maiden flight, there are still 1,000 in use. Even though jet technology and the need for larger aeroplanes have curtailed its popularity, it is still used to carry all kinds of cargo, from machinery to livestock.

The Music Biz 9.40pm BBC2
Write a hit song, and you need never work again. Buy the copyright to someone else's hit songs, and neither you nor your friends need work again. Michael Jackson invested $42 million in buying the Beatles' catalogue, and earns money every time a Beatles record is played or performed.
The Music Biz looks at the spectacular pitfalls that await the unwary songwriter who doesn't pay close attention to the complicated paperwork. Jimmy Merchant and Herman Santiago wrote Why Do Fools Fall in Love? in the 50s, a song that has earned millions of dollars. But one of them drives a taxi cab, and the other is on welfare. Why? Because businessmen were reaping the rewards of the writers' work. The Music Biz follows the history of the ten-year legal case to its dramatic conclusion.
Presented by Mark Mardell.
