... like, if you've been saying you're going to pick up a book and actually read it or sort out the cobweb that is now the size of Brazil and drooping from the ceiling like an old bat that's about to kick it, tonight could be the night to do it.
Last Week Tonight With John Oliver - Sky Atlantic, 11pm
This is just a top notch show. If you haven't seen it, may I peak your interest? It's very short.... and because we think the world revolves around us..... it's about Ireland.
Tonight he tackles FIFA corruption.... come on. You wanna see this man talk about Sepp Blatter.
Exiles - RTE2, 9pm
RTE have taken people from different walks of life who for various reason have been exiled from their disparate communities. There's the former priest who's been excommunicated from the church because he believed that it wasn't his place to 'forgive' women who have had an abortion; the Irish-born American marine who exposed the corruption at the heart of the US military and the woman from Saudi-Arabia who refused to let her husband rape her because he felt that by not walking behind him in public, she was disrespecting him....... NOOOOOOO, not really. It's 6 people who want to be famous and, for some reason (cheaper for RTE than New York or LA), go to Vancouver where we all know the streets are paved with fame.
The Social Network - RTE2, 9.30pm
What does this picture tell us about life... if you wear you PJ's outside, you WILL become a billionaire. I'm telling ya, all those people outside Centra's in their penney's pyjamas..... billionaires. The Social Network is the award winning story of how Facebook came to be. It should have won extra awards for getting Justin Timberlake bring the curly hair back.
Set Your Recorder for: Exposed: Magicians, Psychics and Frauds - BBC4, 9pm
If you've been around people who really BELIEVE in psychics, you've probably experienced a supercilious smugness that is hard to recreate but, you could be wrong; that 7th daughter of a 7th daughter that is parked up by another 7th daughter of a 7th daughter at the fair could be real. You can't just say you're the 7th daughter of a 7th daughter you know..... This Film follows renowned magician James 'The Amazing' Randi as he exposes the charlatans in his trade.
Sick of TV? Come hang with me.
