Subtitled

This documentary tells the compelling story of the multi-billion-pound gamble to build the world's biggest airliner, the Airbus A380. The programme provides an insight into the unique challenges of building an airliner on such a large scale, and includes footage of its grand unveiling and its maiden voyage.

7:05pm?
Bet it's late.
