What to watch on TV and streaming today: Oasis documentary, Sleepless in Seattle and All The Sharks
ELO at the BBC BBC Two, 8.05pm This delve into the broadcaster's archive kick-starts an evening of programmes dedicated to the Birmingham band. It's followed by the documentary Mr Blue Sky: The Story of Jeff Lynne and ELO (9.05pm) and a pair of concerts from 2015 (10.05pm) and 2014 (11pm). Killinaskully 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.
