IF THERE WAS ever a weekend to spend in front of the telly, this is it.
You’re wrecked, broke and frankly, have no desire to see the outside world. Fortunately, we’ve gathered some highlights which will ensure you have a quality weekend with the box.
Here are five suggestions, from us, to you.
If you fancy a good film… Moneyball (Fri, RTE2, 21:15)
Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill are super in this drama, which can be enjoyed whether you love sport or couldn’t care less.
It was nominated for awards up with wazoo, and a screenplay co-written by Aaron Sorkin means the dialogue is quick and smart.
If you fancy a laugh… Piers Morgan’s Life Stories: June Brown (Fri, UTV, 21:00)
