Life always finds a way – but try not to let it. Jurassic World Evolution for the PS4 promises exciting and novel gameplay, while staying true to its source material.

Watch

Tune in to BBC4 at 9 pm BST on 5 July for the first part of The NHS: A people’s history. Look out for the still-roadworthy Invacar (pictured above), a vehicle adapted for disabled drivers that the UK’s National Health Service distributed for free in the 1960s.
