Orson Welles on TV

Seeing that clip on another thread reminded me there'd been a couple of documentaries on Orson Welles jsut before Xmas. Anyone know what they were or know if they might be available anywhere?

Thanks to both of
you.
There was also...
"Orson Welles' Sketch Book", five 15-minute monologues from 1955, filmed as an offshoot to Huw Wheldon's "Monitor" series. Rambling but excellent.
Welles has been my standard "dead person you'd invite to a dinner party" answer for years now, it's a shame the BBC didn't show even more of his films in this season, especially "F For Fake", which hasn't been shown for years and isn't available on DVD outside the US.
Sky Arts
showed 'F for Fake' last week
Bugger
That means no terrestrial showing for a while then.
