2001: a space odyssey

BBC2 (not scotland) 11.15pm - 1.30am

Director Stanley Kubrick’s dazzling sci-fi classic is still riveting. Its many delights include astronaut Keir Dullea’s battle with rogue computer HAL, the inspired use of The Blue Danube, an ape throwing a bone that turns into an orbiting spacecraft and the space-walking climax.
