EVERY WEEKDAY lunchtime, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.
Meet the McDonaghs (RTÉ 2, 9.30pm)
Last year, traveller Kelly McDonagh Mongan made headlines when she entered and ultimately finished second place on RTÉ’s The Voice. Now, this reality series will offer a glimpse into the McDonagh family’s life in a halting site. Bound to get people chatting. #meetthemcdonaghs
Jungle Atlantis (BBC2, 8pm)
This documentary follows a team of archaeologists as they seek out the amazing ruins of the lost Cambodian city of Angkor, charting the rise and fall of the medieval town. Indiana Jones wannabes, this is for you. #jungleatlantis
Marvellous (BBC2, 9pm)
Toby Jones (Infamous, Frost/Nixon) stars as Neil Baldwin, a man with learning difficulties who defied expectation by turning his hand to everything and anything he wanted to do – becoming a clown, a chaplain and kit man at Stoke City football team. Inspiring stuff. #marvellous
Everybody’s talking about… The Simpsons/Family Guy
The long-anticipated Simpsons/Family Guy crossover episode hasn’t even aired yet, but it’s already in the bad books. A trailer for the show contained a particularly off-colour joke, uttered by (who else) Stewie Griffin.
One of Bart’s prank calls to Moe’s Bar takes a decidedly darker turn when Stewie offers: “Hello Moe, your sister’s being raped.” The inappropriate ‘joke’ has gotten everybody up in arms:
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
The episode airs in the US on Sunday. Will the joke make the cut? We’ll have to wait and see.
Or switch over for…
- Design Doctors (RTÉ One, 8.30pm) Like an Irish Grand Designs, but no Kevin McCloud. :(
- Location, Location, Location (Channel 4, 8pm) Kirsty Allsopp helps a pole dancer find a home in this episode.
- Connected (RTÉ 2, 10.30pm) The self-shot documentary series continues.
- Long Lost Family (TV3, 9pm) Two brothers attempt to track down their father in South Africa.
- Mad Men (RTÉ 2, 11pm) New series of the retro drama.
