Pick of the Day
The Great Book of Ireland, 10.10pm, RTÉ One
This is the story of the extraordinary 278-page vellum manuscript The Great Book of Ireland (Leabhar Mór na hÉireann).
Conceived in 1989, the book includes contributions from artists, poets, writers and composers which sum up their hopes and fears for the future; thoughts they believe will resonate in a thousand years - as the longevity of vellum allows.
The volume includes Samuel Beckett's last handwritten poem, as well as works by Seamus Heaney and Michael D Higgins - the current President of Ireland.

My favourite is the sublime Mister Roberts:

Next Goal Wins, 10.00pm, Sky Documentaries
One of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen. I cannot recommend it too highly, and it will definitely put a smile on your face. And you don't have to be a football to get it.
The story follows the American Samoa football squad, rated the worst performing international side in the world.
The team has famously only scored two goals in 17 years and have lost every single competitive game they have ever played.
Then maverick Dutch coach Thomas Rongen is hired and given the task of guiding them through the qualifiers for the 2014 World Cup.

Another chance to see this drama, starring Katherine Kelly and Molly Windsor.
University lecturer Dr Leah Dale has always prided herself on her academic integrity, so when final-year student Rose Vaughan submits a suspiciously top-grade essay, Leah is quick to call her out.
But there's more going on than meets the eye as Rose takes the challenge as a personal affront, and what begins as a seemingly open-and-shut case of academic deception soon spirals out of control.
