The Goonies, GO!, 7.30pm
OK – I’m probably one of the only one who remember the Cyndi Lauper song from 1985 called The Goonies Are Good Enough – but here is the movie the song was from – also from 1985. More obscure, than a classic, but at least something different from the usual mix of repeats on weekends. A band of young boys finds a treasure map and embarks on a magical adventure.

City Beneath Waves, BBC Knowledge, 8.30pm AEST.
Pavolpetri. Once a thriving port that dominated the Mediterranean, at least 2000 years ago Pavlopetri was mysteriously lost to the waves. Discovered in 1967, nestled in a natural harbour just off the southern Greek coast, this is the oldest submerged city in the world, created at the dawn of Western civilisation. Its stone foundations, tombs and the remains of its temples have been preserved intact in serene waters, off limits – until now. This evocative film invites you to join the mission of the only archaeological team ever granted permission to dig the site by the Greek authorities. The future of archaeology is under the water – it’s where the greatest finds of the next decade will be made. And Pavlopetri could be the biggest story of them all…
