DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.
Louis Theroux: My Scientology Movie (BBC Two, 9pm)
Premiere. Louis Theroux investigates the controversial religious organisation, but finds himself denied access to anyone involved. Adopting a different approach, he resorts to recruiting actors to re-enact the personal stories of former members – only to find his project is under surveillance by representatives of the church.
Blue Planet II (BBC One, 8pm)
The second episode of David Attenborough’s brilliant new documentary on our oceans. Tonight, we see creatures that live in volcanic hot spots on the ocean bed, areas that reach temperatures hot enough to melt lead and which may hold the secrets behind all life on Earth. Other strange creatures from the depths of the sea include bone-eating worms, fish that walk rather than swim, and hordes of squid.
The Nathan Carter Show (RTÉ One, 9.3pm)
The country singer returns for a new series of his chat show. Tonight’s guests include Roisin O and former Westlife man Shane Filan. Bluegrass band Hayseed Dixie are also in the house to play some tunes.
Everyone’s talking about… Larry David’s opening monologue on SNL last night
And not in a good way.
David began the routine referencing the current Harvey Weinstein scandal before moving it on to jokes about the Holocaust. Skip to around 3.45 to watch it in full:
Some people weren’t happy with the concentration camp jokes
“Would I still be checking out women in the camp?”
