One of our favourite costume dramas is back! Reason enough to settle down by the television this evening… But if Downton isn’t to your liking, check out these top telly picks and relax before the Monday rush begins again.
Downton Abbey – ITV1 (21:00-22:30)
Our favourite costume drama is back on our screens tonight, and there is many a change for the lords, ladies, maids and servants of Downton. As we enter the Roaring Twenties, the war is but a distant memory (for some), fashion changes as the famous flapper style takes off and we get to meet some new faces too. Welcome back D.A! We have missed you…
Big Fat Quiz Of The 80s – Channel 4 (21:00-22:35)
Jimmy Carr hosts the first of three special editions of the Big Fat Quiz series, beginning with a look back at the decade of the 80s… A bit like Reeling In The Years, except with a few questions thrown in, whether you know the answers or you’re totally clueless, nothing beats a flashback and a jog of fond memories… Join Jonathan Ross, Jason Manford, Stephen Mangan, Carol Vorderman and Micky Flanagan.
Fatal Flight 447: Chaos In The Cockpit – Channel 4 (20:00-21:00)
A short documentary looking at one of the biggest aviation mysteries of all time. On May 31 2009, 228 passengers and crew boarded Flight 447 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. It has remained a mystery how the Airbus 330, one of the world’s most technologically advanced planes, just dropped out of the sky and plummeted into the ocean, killing all on board. Two years later the plane’s black box recorders were found at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. They had remained intact. Tune in tonight to hear the harrowing details of the mystery air crash…
Celebrity Bainisteoir: The Rivals – RTÉ1 (18:30-19:30)
Big Brother winner Paddy Doherty’s Dublin side takes on Calum Best’s club from Mayo in the opening quarter-final. Watch the other celebrities compete in a sheep-herding trial to try to win home advantage for their club…
Fair City – RTÉ1 (20:00-20:30)
Oooh, get set for a night of drama in the Fair City tonight. Neil considers confessing to stealing the jewellery as Pete continues to be scorned by friends and neighbours alike, while the Machiavellian character Lucy takes advantage of their turmoil to twist the knife even further. Bob, as ever, struggles to keep quiet about Louie and Ingrid’s kiss, so he blurts it all out to Carol and Finn receives life-changing news.
