EVERY WEEKDAY lunchtime, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.
The Secret Life Of Students (Channel 4, 10pm)
Second instalment of Channel 4′s compelling new documentary series, with unprecedented (and slightly baffling) access to the lives, social media accounts and private messages of 12 first-year university students. This episode will focus on their love lives. Remember your love life as a student? Yeah.
Embarrassing Bodies (Channel 4, 9pm)
Tonight’s episode of the quasi-medical cringefest features a woman who is allergic to sperm. If you need any more information as to how Twitter is going to react to this, you’re probably in the wrong place.
Under The Dome (RTÉ Two, 8.30pm and 9.25pm)
The second season of the US sci-fi drama is gettings its premiere on Irish TV just a couple of weeks after it first aired in the States. Dean Norris (aka Hank from Breaking Bad) returns among the other inhabitants of a small town that is suddenly and inexplicably cut off under an impenetrable, transparent dome.
Everybody’s talking about: The Last Kingdom
BBC Two has just announced its own epic swords-and-shields series, and it’s already being heralded as a possible Game of Thrones rival. The Last Kingdom is set in 9th-century Britain, where the inhabitants are defending themselves from marauding Vikings and rival clans. And it’s based on a series of eight bestselling novels by Bernard Cornwell.
Sound familiar? Well, the BBC are hoping it will “feel like nothing else on television”.
Or switch over for…
- Britain’s Most Dangerous Songs (BBC4, 9pm) A look at the songs that have been banned by the BBC – some of them surprisingly recently.
- T In The Park (BBC3, 8pm) Coverage begins of the major Scottish music festival.
- Rush Hour 2 (TV3, 9pm) Jackie Chan? Chris Tucker? Racially dubious jokes? You got it.
- Dodgeball (5*, 9pm) Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn in their golden era.
