What to watch on TV tonight: Monday
EVERY WEEKDAY lunchtime, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.
Rough Rider (9.35pm, RTÉ One)
This documentary follows journalist and former cyclist Paul Kimmage as he covers the 2013 Tour de France. In the wake of Lance Armstrong’s drug scandal, he asks: has cycling moved on from doping culture? Bound to be a talking point tomorrow. #roughrider
Commonwealth Games (BBC One, 7pm)
Tonight, the focus turns to athletics and swimming – including the semi-finals and finals of the men’s and women’s 100m. We’ll also see some hammer throwing, some long jumping and some shot-putting. Oh yeah. Hosted by Gary Lineker. #commonwealthgames
The Field (RTÉ One, 11.15pm)
“It’s my field. It’s my child. I nursed it. I nourished it.” If you’re up late tonight, stick on the 1990 film adaptation of John B Keane’s famous stage play, starring the late Richard Harris as grumpy tenant farmer who fights to finally own his land.
Everybody’s talking about… #George RR Martin
Fans of the Game of Thrones books will be relieved to know author George RR Martin will not be contributing to the fifth season of the TV show, as he wants to finish his next book.
