This proves that TV has something for everyone. Now we have a superb series tailor-made for the adrenalin junkie who loves his sofa and his beer. Dogfights is a re-creation of legendary air battles from World War II to the Vietnam and Korean wars. The narration is racy, the graphics are incredibly realistic and pilots who were involved in the fights appear on the show to explain their strategies. There’s a risk that you might go off the deep end and start running amok with your old model airplanes, while your better half buys you a straitjacket and packs your bags. But trust me, it’s worth it. Tuesdays from 4 Nov; 9pm. History Channel, Channel 9.
