DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.
Robot Wars (BBC Two, 8pm)
People were always going to be excited for the return of the classic series Robot Wars – but now that there are two Irish presenters at the helm it gives it even more of a comforting feel. Dara O Briain and Angela Scanlon went down very well last week, as did the show, and episode two sees an “untested robot built by a cardiologist and his two sons makes a surprising impact in the arena”. ROBBBOOOT WARS.
The Imitation Game (Channel 4, 9pm)
Benedict Cumberbatch was nominated for an Oscar for his performance as legendary British mathematician Alan Turing back in 2014 – and it was well deserved. The film might lack some key historical accuracy, but nearly everyone agrees that it sums up the drama of the code breaking in Bletchley Park that Turing oversaw very well – which proved crucial in the Second World War. A worthwhile watch for a quiet Sunday night in.
