RTÉ Two launched their new look Autumn schedule today in a literal alleyway on Capel Street. Along with the shocking revelation that the Two will now become the number 2 in all branding, the channel also released the new shows that will be on our screens this season.
A three-part series following former Voice of Ireland contestant Kelly McDonagh and her family. Publicity materials say it “provides a window into the world of a family who are proud to be Traveller and an insight into their unique culture and attitudes to love, religion, morality, [and] education.”
Eoghan McDermott asks people to drink to excess (yes, really) and then puts them through challenges. No, it’s not whether they can get the shift. It’s exploring the effects of drinking on the body and mind.
This documentary goes “behind the scenes at the Wright Venue”, Swords – Ireland’s “biggest nightclub” and premier nightspot for aspiring models and visiting rappers who’ve never been here before.
This is an actually interesting concept: what publicity materials call “a 20-episode reality soap – real people, real lives, real drama. Six women, six cameras, with the cast in control of what and where they shoot.” Basically it sounds like TOWIE et al, except that the cast get to choose where the cameras go. One to look out for.
Former Fade Street star, DJ and Brian-McFadden-wife Vogue Williams lost her father in 2010. In this show she asks whether psychic abilities are actually genuine, or whether the contacting-the-dead business is all just a giant scam to take money off bereaved people.
This show will see businesswoman and media personality Norah Casey mentor four young Traveller women who have business ideas. It will focus on developing their skills “in a country where they still experience prejudice and exclusion.” Let’s leave the profoundly patronising name aside, shall we?
6. The Proposal
Ah, the proposal. Not just any proposal, THAT proposal that caused the whole of Ireland to pull one giant collective cringe muscle.
This documentary will take us behind the scenes of the ‘Great Proposal of the 2013 Rose of Tralee’ and as Molly Molloy and her husband Kyle Catlett as they prepare for the wedding. It’s nothing if not an excuse to watch it again in all its glory.
We hope the title isn’t literal, because in this series, Jennifer Maguire and Darren Kennedy set out to help young people get off the dole and into a new career. What could possibly go wrong?

2. Drunk
Eoghan McDermott asks people to drink to excess (yes, really) and then puts them through challenges. No, it’s not whether they can get the shift. It’s exploring the effects of drinking on the body and mind.
3. Clubland

3. Connected
This is an actually interesting concept: what publicity materials call “a 20-episode reality soap – real people, real lives, real drama. Six women, six cameras, with the cast in control of what and where they shoot.” Basically it sounds like TOWIE et al, except that the cast get to choose where the cameras go. One to look out for.
4. Vogue Does the Afterlife
Former Fade Street star, DJ and Brian-McFadden-wife Vogue Williams lost her father in 2010. In this show she asks whether psychic abilities are actually genuine, or whether the contacting-the-dead business is all just a giant scam to take money off bereaved people.
5. Norah’s Traveller Academy
