What to watch on TV tonight: Thursday

Here are the shows that will be on your Twitter timeline this evening.

Every lunchtime, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.

Brent Pope: Inside Out (RTÉ One, 10.15pm)

Rugby pundit Brent Pope – much missed from this year’s rugby coverage by the nation – is back on the telly with a documentary about “outsider art”. Which RTÉ tell us is “pieces made by people with no formal training and often living on the margins of society.” Watch Brent travel around Ireland finding out the stories behind the works. ##RteInsideOut

The Apprentice (BBC One, 9pm)

Wait, The Apprentice just came back last night, and it’s on again? Oh yes. We’re straight back into the second episode of the series. A kind of bonus double bill to kick us off. And if last night’s shenanigans are any indication, we have a good crop of candidates willing to mortify themselves on TV for our amusement. Which is always a plus. #TheApprentice

Reality Bites: Ireland’s Sulky Racers (RTÉ 2, 9.30pm)

The excellent Reality Bites series continues with a look at the pony racing subculture of the sulky racers in Ireland. This film follows a group of owners and drivers based in Dublin, Meath, Clare and Limerick, showing the extremes they will go to in order to prepare their horses for race day. #SulkyRacers

Everyone’s talking about… the street artists who were hired to work on the set of Homeland

This week’s episode of Homeland had some graffiti in the background that definitely wasn’t supposed to be there.

As The Guardian reports:

Three graffiti artists hired to add authenticity to refugee camp scenes in this week’s episode of Homeland have said they instead used their artwork to accuse the TV programme of racism.

The main character can be seen strolling past a wall that reads in Arabic “Homeland is racist.”

Not what they expected.

Or flick over for…

  • First Dates (Channel 4, 10pm) Another edition of the always entertaining (and awkward) dating show.
  • The Sin Bin (TV3, 10pm) Rugby based banter with Andrew Maxwell and Joe Molloy, looking ahead to Ireland’s Rugby World Cup match this weekend
  • Father Ted (RTÉ 2, 9pm) It’s the classic Tentacles of Doom episode – the one where three Bishops pitch up to upgrade the Holy Stone of Clonrichert. Ah, yes.
  • Invictus (ITV4, 10pm) Morgan Freeman is Nelson Mandela and Matt Damon is the rugby player inspired to win the World Cup because of the great man.
