    The excellent documentary series "The Fight" which was first shown over here on BBC2 a few years ago finally gets a set of repeats on Yesterday (Sky 537, Virgin 203) tonight at 10pm, and an hour later on Yesterday +1 (Sky 538 ).

    I remember watching the second series of it and really enjoying it, but it just has never really been repeated since so its definitely worth checking out if you haven't seen it yet. Lots of fantastic old stories and controversies.

    Seems to be on every weekday night for presumably however many episodes of it there are.

    Had a look earlier after I saw this thread. It's an in-depth look at the history of boxing. Tonight's episode is about the bare-knuckle days:yep:good. I'm definately watching it.
