The Dinosaurs: The Final Day with David Attenborough, 6.30pm, BBC One
Palaeontologist Robert DePalma has made an incredible discovery in a prehistoric graveyard.
That find features fossilised creatures, astonishingly well-preserved, that could help change our understanding of the last days of the dinosaurs.
Evidence from his site records the day when an asteroid bigger than Mount Everest struck the planet causing the dinosaurs' extinction.
In light of these findings, the veteran naturalist reveals exactly what happened, employing CGI to recreate the late Cretaceous period from where he documents the events of that cataclysmic day 66 million years ago.

He also fulfils a lifelong ambition to make the treacherous sea crossing to Skellig Islands, where the ruins of an ancient monastic settlement are perched 600 feet above sea.
I wonder if he’ll manage to float up the Lagan in a bubble?
