What to watch on TV tonight: Thursday

Here are the shows that’ll be on your Twitter timeline later.

EVERY LUNCHTIME, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.

An Bronntanas (TG4, 9pm)

TG4′s new five-part thriller starts tonight and it’s sure to be a goody. Set against the Connemara coastline, the show will follow the lives of local lifeboat crew during a period of duress in the country. The show stars American Irish actor John Finn who has previously acted in Cold Case, and promises a new genre of Celtic Noir. We’re listening.

The Troubles I’ve Seen (UTV, 8.30pm)

The documentary series continues. Journalists and other talking heads recount the people and events that shaped Northern Ireland over the last 40 years, providing a harrowing insight into the troubles that held the country in violent conflict.

Angela Scanlon Full Frontal (RTÉ 2, 9.30pm)

It was all anyone could talk about last week. Broadcaster Angela Scanlon looks into what it is to be happy and body-confident, and just how it can be achieved. This week sees her being told she needs liposuction, and of course, there’ll probably be more naked people. Oh dear.
