After Care: The Story of Ireland’s Care Leavers
9.35pm RTÉ One
In the last year, almost 500 young adults left foster or residential state care for a new life on their own. Almost 1700 young adults under-23 are currently accessing after-care services in some form. Independence without family support isn’t easy. After Care is the story of a year in the life of four young adults coming out of state care: the downs, the ups, the court cases, education courses, making new connections and learning to care for themselves. Picture shows Chantelle who takes part.
A Cook Abroad: Tony Singh’s India
9.00pm BBC Two
Scottish chef Tony Singh travels to India - the country of his ancestors - to trace his family roots and discover whether his mam's Punjabi cooking is the real deal. He begins his journey in Amritsar - draped in lights for the festival of Diwali - before braving the treacherous Grand Trunk Road to Delhi. Along the way, he fulfils a boyhood dream to meet the Nihang, nomadic Sikh warriors whose cooking techniques are legendary. He receives an exclusive invite to eat and cook with a Maharajah. He burns off the calories at Bollysweat, the fitness phenomenon taking Delhi by storm. Tony discovers how the Sikh religion and the region's troubled past have created their unique food and culture. He finishes at the ancestral home in Delhi, where his 93-year-old uncle Ameer opens a window on his family history he will never forget.
