Pick of the day

First Dates Ireland, 9.30pm, RTÉ 2

In a special bonus episode, there's a return to some of the most memorable match-ups of series two: a cornucopia of killer lines and cringe-worthy clangers, loved-up lotharios, romantic rendez-vous, awkward assignations and beautiful dreamers.

They’re all here: from the mega-confident Dubliner who’d never known rejection to the psychology student whose party trick was the last straw.

New or Returning Shows

Class of Mum and Dad, 8.00pm, Channel 4

Primary school education has changed dramatically in recent years, and in this brand new series a class of parents are going to experience what it's like for their kids as they go back to school.

For half a term, these parents will study the year six curriculum alongside their own children.

They will have the same regime, school uniform, homework, school dinners, participate in PE, art, music and dance lessons as well as face the same discipline if they misbehave.

Ending Tonight

Great Indian Railway Journeys, 8.00pm, BBC Two

In Lucknow, Michael Portillo tastes the famous local kebabs before seeking the truth about 1857 Siege of Lucknow, a key moment in the rebellion which precipitated the end of the East India Company's grip on India and the start of direct British rule.

After a classical kathak dance class, he boards the sleeper train towards Ghazipur, on the banks of the Ganges. Taking to the sacred waters by boat, he hears the story of The East India Company's opium monopoly.

Seven Year Switch, 9.00pm, Channel 4

In the final programme, all four couples return home, where they must try to put everything they've learned from the switch experiment into practice in their day-to-day lives.

Each couple will then meet therapist Lee and relationship coach Vena to answer one, final, life-changing question: do they want to stay together or part ways for good?
