Doctor Foster (10.15pm, RTÉ One) continues its brooding drama about infidelity - it stars Suranne Jones who was once a member of the Coronation Street cast. There are memories of that legendary Dublin visit that encompassed two shows at the Adelphi in The Beatles: Guth (10.00pm, TG4), while Olwen Fouéré is the subject in The Works Presents, 11.15pm on RTÉ One
Doctor Foster, 10.15pm, RTÉ One
This drama has already made quite an impression with viewers and critics in the UK and began its RTÉ One run last Thursday. GP Gemma Foster (Suranne Jones of Coronation Street) is seriously discomfited, to say the least, when she discovers that her property developer husband Simon (Bertie Carvel) is sleeping with a friend’s daughter. The unfolding episodes follow Doctor Foster as she she bides her time in pretend ignorance of the affair and in the process skilfully resists being cast in the victim role. A touch of Paula Milne's masterful The Politician's Wife perhaps..
The Beatles: Guth, 10.00pm, TG4
Repeat series but, of course, worth it, just like Reeling in the Years is worth it, endlessly. BP Fallon who worked at Apple Records recalls his friendship with John Lennon in tonight’s instalment. Indeed, Fallon appeared as a member of John Lennon and The Plastic Ono Band on Top of the Pops to perform Instant Karma. The Royal Showband’s Brendan Bowyer also contributes and there are vivid memories of the two nights the band wowed Dublin in November 1963 (and also took Belfast by storm.)
The Works Presents . . . Olwen Fouéré, 11.15pm, RTÉ One
Olwen Fouere is one of the most revered actresses on the Irish stage, and she has starred in a myriad TV dramas and films over the past 40 years. She is also a writer and director who has combined her own highly experimental work with signature roles in the classics, from Greek tragedies and Shakespeare to contemporary plays by writers like Marina Carr. Tonight, John Kelly asks her to look back on her unusual childhood in Connemara. Her parents were Breton separatists obliged to flee France in the 1940s because of their political views. The young Fouéré grew up between languages and cultures as a result. The actress reflects on a career that has been marked by the influences of Ireland, France and her Breton roots.
