EVERY WEEKDAY lunchtime, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.
The Great British Bake Off Final (BBC One, 8pm)
Yes, tonight brings us the climax of the series that weekly grips the nation with soggy bottoms and foreskin-like confections. Remaining contestants Richard, Luis and Nancy will battle for dominance in the arena of cake, as thousands of viewers tweet mild sexual innuendo. Unmissable. #gbbo
Extreme Brat Camp (Channel 4, 10pm)
One of those Channel 4 documentaries combining an incredibly glib title and a profoundly serious issue: this film looks at the “child intervention industry”, in which kids with behavioural problems are shipped out to facilities that promise to mend their ways. It’s an industry worth more than $2billion in the States.
Our Island (TV3, 10.05pm)
Original TV3 series looking at the wonders of Ireland’s spectacular coastline and the people who base their lives around it. Tonight’s first episode covers Ulster, all the way around from Warrenpoint to Bundoran. #ourisland
Everybody’s talking about: American Crime Story
American Crime Story will be the next True Detective. That’s the promise being made by network FX, who’ve commissioned the new anthology crime show as a partner of their phenomenally successful American Horror Story.
The first 10-episode season will centre around the OJ Simpson case, and is being helmed by Ryan Murphy – creator of Nip/Tuck, Glee, and AHS itself. Expectations are high.
Or flick over for…
- Second Captains Live (RTÉ Two, 9.30pm) New series of the sport-and-banter show.
- Downfall (BBC4, 9pm) The movie that launched a thousand memes.
- Twin Peaks (SyFy, 10pm) With the return of the iconic show announced for 2016, perhaps now is a good time to tune in to SyFy’s rerun of the originals…
- Our Zoo (BBC One, 9pm) Finale of the successful BBC series about a family’s struggle to open their own zoo.
- The Only Way Is Ibiza (ITVBe, 9pm) ITV launches a new channel tonight, and kicks off with a double episode of TOWIE in the Balearics.
