Fargo
10.00pm Channel 4
The quirky, small-town series returns with Kirsten Dunst as a frustrated hairdresser who wants fame and fortune in LA. Peggy Blomquist is a hairdresser, who, according to the actress who plays her is “quite delusional about what she hopes to accomplish. Peggy's dream is to move to Los Angeles and become a celebrity hairdresser. But she’s stuck in Laverne, Minnesota. Dunst reveals that the frustrated Peggy has "a lovely man" in her life who wants to have kids, but she is not committed to raising a family as yet. “She lives for her magazines where she reads about this other life she wants. She’s a little bit of a nut, in reality, and sort of living in two worlds."
Modern Family
8.30pm Sky 1
In the first episode, Jay and Gloria are looking at various pre-school with Joe in mind, but things don't quite go according to plan. Meanwhile, Haley and Andy are tired and emotional about recent events that have been traumatic in their own way. Mitch's midlife career anxieties also mean that the, er, cash flow is a bit on the sluggish side. Incidentally, The Day Alex Left for College is the title of the second episode - which pretty much tells you lots. Although episode three's title - The Closet Case - makes it sound fearful and mysterious, like an Agatha Christie whodunnit. Rest easy, nothing scary about Modern Family, even coming up to Hallow'een. Well, we reckon so anyway.

This new series profiles different facets of GAA life, beginning with a look at an interesting annual tournament. Once a year some of the smallest communities in the country come together to compete, collaborate and support each other but most of all to celebrate being the islanders they happen to be. Almost three thousand people continue to live on off-shore islands and every September for the last 18 years, islanders have organised an All Island Football Tournament. This year, Inis Turk, over 15km off the coast of Co. Mayo, with one of the most spectacular GAA pitches anywhere, played host to nine islands, who sent men's and women's Gaelic Football teams with all their supporters. Inis Turk has a population of only about 50, so finding lodging for over 300 visitors, not to mention the rest of the neccessary logistics, is a feat in itself.
