BBC 2, 8pm Sunday 15th July
Couldn't see that this has been mentioned before (if so, humble apologies) but Pick of the Day in today's Times for tomorrow evening is Engineering Giants: Jumbo Jet Strip-Down (BBC2 at 8pm UK Time).
One of BA's 744s gets stripped down to bare metal and put back together again.
Should be worth a watch if you're interested.

just a heads-up that BBC Two Wales are showing it a little later, at 8.30pm. It's also repeated on Monday night; full details at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01l1w71

BA's twitter seems to suggest the programme will follow an aircraft undergoing heavy maintenance (maybe one of those alphabetical checks), but the BBC video seems to be about the scrapping of the aircraft.
I guess we'll find out which is correct in an hour or so
