For those on the east coast of America, they're doing Connery on "headliners and legends" right now.

It was his life story and it showed the Oscars moment for the Untouchables. Also went into the whole "hitting women" thing.
I was also interested how much of Connery's decision to do NSNA was influenced by his wife and how much influence she had on the film itself. Interviews with Connery's brother, Harrison Ford (really enjoyed Connery's wit), Michael Caine (describing the hard time Connery had breaking away from the typecasting as a result of Bond). Also an interview with a woman who used to work for sean's production company(Fountainbridge) who said that after his breakup with Bond and his apparent lack of respect for the franchise, Connery now has realized the foundation that Bond gave him (despite typecasting) and has a much greater respect for Bond now than he did in his earlier days.
