DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.
Who Do You Think You Are? (RTÉ One, 10.15pm)
Tonight Jane Seymour seeks out her ancestors. The actress has been in Wedding Crashers and Jane the Virgin, but tonight she’s starring in the reality show that helps individuals trace their genealogy. She begins by searching for the Jewish ancestry on her father’s side of the family with little knowledge about them other than an inkling that they suffered during the Holocaust. The search takes her to Warsaw and France to uncover stories in a Jewish ghetto and a flight to Switzerland to escape the Nazis.
Riviera (Sky Atlantic, 9pm)
Sky Atlantic’s new crime thriller picks up from last week, with Georgina searching for answers by reviewing Constantine’s movements on the day of his death. Irina makes a deal with a prominent figure in the Riviera underworld while Christos carries on in a very hedonistic manner.
Horizon: Dawn of the Driverless Car (BBC2, 9pm)
Although they seem like a dangerous idea to the general public, plenty of development has still gone into driverless cars. Horizon looks at the pros and cons this evening and explores the artificial intelligence required to replace human drivers in cars. It peers into the future of a potentially driverless world and discovers the ways in which it might not be all good news.
Everybody’s talking about… the death of Michael Bond
