What to watch on TV tonight: Thursday
DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.
David Attenborough’s Life Stories (BBC 1, 9pm)
Anything Attenborough makes is going to be amazing, and this series is proving to be no exception. The first episode last week saw people livetweeting their revelations, awakenings, and general awe at what they were seeing. This week the cameras follow a tiger cub, cheetah siblings and a veined octopus as it grows up. You had us at cub.
A Parting Gift (RTÉ 1, 10.15pm)
Filmed over 18 months, this documentary examines Trinity’s college’s Body Donation Programme. Every year in Ireland, about 120 people donate their body to science and medical education. Part one of two airs tonight, and promises complete access to every step of the donation process.
Freddy vs Jason (Sky 1, 12am)
Oh come ON. It will literally BE Halloween, kick it off with a late-night scare. If Freddy or Jason don’t do it, Kelly Rowland’s acting will. Gah.
