On a day in which the schedules are dominated by sport and films, here's a welcome chance to see the first-ever episode of the comedy, starring Pat Shortt, which introduces a group of unusual village residents.
To mark the fact that the Gallagher brothers are back on the road together, we're being treated to this feature-length documentary, which looks at Oasis's rise to fame. Liam and Noel are among the interviewees offering their views, alongside mum Peggy and former band members Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs and Paul 'Guigsy' McGuigan.
Sleepless in Seattle TG4, 9.45pm
Hit romcom in which a boy tries to find his widowed dad a new wife by ringing a radio chat show. A reporter hears his plea, and feels drawn to the pair, despite already being engaged to someone else. Meg Ryan, Ross Malinger and Tom Hanks star.
The Other Man RTÉ2, 10.30pm
Compelling drama starring Liam Neeson as a man who tracks down his wife's lover after learning of his existence following her death. He initially wants revenge, but their unlikely friendship leaves him with a dilemma. Laura Linney, Romola Garai and Antonio Banderas also appear.
All The Sharks Netflix, streaming now
If you're wondering, 'Why all the shark-related viewing of late?' Well, the simple answer is that we're currently in the run-up to July 14, which is Shark Awareness Day. This summer also happens to be the 50th anniversary of Jaws, so one should expect an inordinate level of shark-themed programming over the coming weeks. A lot of it, however, does seem somewhat at odds with itself. For instance, last week saw the release of Shark Whisperer, which featured a herd of conservationists expressing concern about people, like Instagrammer Ocean Ramsey, interfering with endangered sharks. Now, Netflix is proffering an almost oxymoronic competition show, where conservationists infiltrate the oceans to tick all the sharks off their assigned apex predator bingo cards. If you favour more traditional shark viewing — ie. without a nigh-dystopic gameshow element — Sharks Up Close With Bertie Gregory lands on Disney+ tomorrow.
Heads of State Prime Video, streaming now
Have you ever considered a parallel universe where Idris Elba is the UK prime minister and John Cena is the US president? Well, now's your chance! For context, their 'special relationship' is under threat on account of their huge egos, but — once confronted with a common adversary — the pair must learn to rely on each other.

Staying in? Here's what to watch on Netflix this weekend
If you are choosing the sofa this weekend and looking for entertainment, then there is a huge choice of new material dropping on Netflix to keep you engrossed over the next two nights at least. It seems reality show makers keep coming up with crazier and crazier ideas to make new hit shows, and this latest one is going to make some of us quake with fear at the thought of what contestants are being asked to do. Watch All the Sharks combines four teams of contestants made up of shark experts and shark enthusiasts, who will travel the globe trying to find the most elusive shark species. Pic: Nikos Pekiaridis/NurPhoto via Getty Images They must film the sharks when they find them, and are awarded points for every shark they find. The more elusive and rare the shark, the more points they earn and in the end, the team with the most points can walk away with $50,000 for their chosen charity. Filmed over six stunning locations, the show offers stunning visuals of undersea life and will be a hit with anyone who has ever dreamt of scuba diving in Australia, the Maldives, the Galapagos Islands, Japan, South Africa or the Bahamas. Pic: No Ju-han/Netflix If that kind of thing doesn't float your boat, then the new series 'Attack on London, Hunting the 7/7 Bombers' takes us inside what happened when terrorists targeted London city through its Tube Train network some 20 years ago. It promises insider accounts and never-seen-before footage telling the story of the 7/7 bombings on London's transport network in 2005 — and its explosive aftermath. The attacks caused untold devastation and sparked the biggest manhunt the UK has ever seen. A dark, suspenseful thriller is how the latest offering from Korea is being described. 'Wall to Wall tells the story of a young man who poured his life savings into a new apartment only to discover its walls are full of disturbing noises, hostile neighbors and unsettling secrets. Pic: Netflix © 2025 One to watch if that's your kind of thing and you don't mind subtitles. Korean dramas have become increasingly popular in the past few years for their intrigue and suspense. The number one show on Netflix is still Korean dystopian series Squid Game, which is mindbendingly excruciating to watch, but worth every second. Or if the USA and the reality of watching the rigorous training undertaken by the cheerleading squad of the Dallas Cowboys American Football Team, then 'America's Sweethearts' 'Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' is a Netflix docu-series following the lives of the ladies involved in the squad and the tough training regime they must undergo, its brutal at times, it takes no prisoners and the coaches have no qualms about cutting someone from the squad for being a little overweight, or not coming up to scratch at training. It's a tough one and not for the fainthearted. Season two premiered on June 18th, 2025, and while a third season hasn't been officially announced, the series has been renewed, and the team has teased the audition process for the coming year.

Oasis reignite in Cardiff – Here's what to expect in Croke Park
The drought ended to fevered applause as Oasis exploded on to the stage in Cardiff last night for the opening gig of their much anticipated comeback tour, the first of a number of shows in their 'LIVE 25 World Tour', planned for the summer ahead. The opening night was a huge triumph by all accounts, with fans of the band describing it as their best gig ever, since their break up in 2009, Today's top videos STORY CONTINUES BELOW With Cardiff now an undoubtable success, the Gallagher brothers will, no doubt, be looking ahead to the Irish leg of the tour next month. The drought ended to fevered applause as Oasis exploded on to the stage in Cardiff last night for the opening gig of their much anticipated comeback tour, the first of a number of shows in their 'LIVE 25 World Tour', planned for the summer ahead. Pic: Samir Hussein/WireImage Oasis will play Manchester, London, and Edinburgh before heading across the pond to Dublin on August 16 and 17. So, if you are one of the lucky ones who managed to get your mitts on a ticket for one of the Dublin shows, then here is all of the information you are going to need ahead of the highly anticipated gig. There are a number of ways to travel to Croke Park for concerts, but its very important to plan ahead in order to avoid delays. The opening night was a huge triumph by all accounts, with fans of the band describing it as their best gig ever, since their break up in 2009, Pic: AFP STRINGER/AFP via Getty Images Where possible, use public transport, instead of driving as the roads surrounding the stadium are residential roads. This means car parking is limited and restrictions will be in place within the locality. Dublin Bus offers a high-frequency, accessible and easy to use service from all over Dublin. A number of services bring you close to Croke Park and many others will get you to the city centre from where the stadium is a 15 minute walk. Transport for Ireland (TFI) have invaluable information on their website and a quick look could save you a lot of hassle in the run up to travelling to the gig. Gates open at 5pm and the concert is scheduled to start around 6.30pm with support act Richard Ashcroft and Cast taking to the stage shortly after. Oasis are due on stage around 8.15pm and judging by last nights show, will play for in and around two hours. So, what are the rules and regulations around the gig? Well if you're under 16 then you absolutely MUST be accompanied by an adult, whereas if you're under 14, then you're not allowed in the standing areas and MUST have a seat. With Cardiff now an undoubtable success, the Gallagher brothers will, no doubt, be looking ahead to the Irish leg of the tour next month. Pic: AFP STRINGER/AFP via Getty Images The show is completely sold out, and hotels in and around the area of Croke Park, on the northside of the city are scarcely available. MCD has described an Oasis concert as 'unlike anything else'. 'The roar that greets them as they step on stage. A set full of wall-to-wall classics. The spine-tingling sensation of being in a crowd singing back every word. And especially the charisma, spark and intensity that only comes when Liam and Noel Gallagher are on-stage together'. If last nights triumphant return to live performance is anything to go by, then the fans heading to Dublin in August are in for an amazing couple of nights. In a nutshell, Use public transport if you can. Do not assume you can park near Croke Park, you can't! Don't assume you will find a cheap hotel room at this stage – you won't. And obey the Gardai and Stewards on the day, remember they are there to keep you safe and ensure that everyone has a fun and memorable time. For more information closer to the time, check out
