It's the final night of Love Island, there's a new documentary about hurling, and French spy comedy A Very Secret Service is back on Netflix . . .
Pick of the Day
The Game, 9.35pm, RTÉ One
Here's a new three-parter charting the history of that most Irish of sports: hurling.
The opening episode naturally covers the birth of the game, and what hurling means to those who play, watch, live and breathe it.
Charting the beginnings of the GAA alongside the turbulent times of the Land War and mass emigration, this first episode lays the groundwork on which the national sport was founded.
Whether it's the ultimate dream of representing your county in Croke Park or the tribal pride of playing for club and parish, it's clear that picking up a sliotar and hurl carries a true sense of belonging to many.
Watch The Game on @RTEOne from 30 July. The ultimate story of hurling, as told by @CTLFilms with stunning live footage, enthralling interviews and rare archival footage #RTEGAA #GAA #TheGame pic.twitter.com/O60aJpL823

Love Island, 9.00pm, 3e & ITV2
I blame the heat, but this reality show was a surprise hit with viewers this summer - despite the fact that it wasn't on a 'main' channel either here or in its native UK.
Caroline Flack hosts this live final as the door on the villa closes for the final time with the winners of this year's competition getting to choose between love and money.
Appropriate Adult, 9.00pm, TV3
It's the final part of this riveting drama about serial killer Fred West, featuring a very scary Dominic West - who, it must be said, is no relation - as the infamous killer.
The 'appropriate adult' of the title, Emily Watson's Janet Leach, is no longer involved in the interviews, but finds herself being asked to be West's companion after he refuses to cooperate with the police.
Our Guy in Russia, 9.00pm, Channel 4
Guy Martin leaves Russia and visits Chernobyl in Ukraine - the site of the biggest nuclear disaster in history - to explore the record-breaking engineering solutions designed to make the area safe, 32 years after the nuclear power station exploded.
After receiving specialist training about how to avoid contamination, he's allowed into the most radioactive place on Earth, a restricted exclusion zone of 1000 square miles, and heads for the breached reactor, which is now entombed within a massive shelter.
