THE CATCHLINE to Alien was "In space, no one can hear you scream," but that might just as easily apply to Event Horizon (10pm Sky Premier), which receives its satellite premiere tonight. In Paul Anderson's unsettling, special-effects-laden sci-fi film, Laurence Fishburne (right) leads a mission - with Sam Neill and Kathleen Quinlan - to board the Event Horizon, a deep-space vessel that has been missing for several years.

To many youngsters Jimmy Hill is just a football pundit with a talent to annoy. But to earlier generations, he was a very influential figure - as this profile for Playback (10pm History Channel) shows. As a player, he helped break the maximum wage for players (and indirectly aided today's superstars towards their huge pay-packets). He went on to become a successful manager, chairman and referee.
