There's a documentary about Jihad Jane, another called Can We Cure Kids Cancer?, Gogglebox Ireland returns, as do kitchen queens Mary Berry and Nadiya Hussain . . .
Pick of the Day
Jihad Jane, 9.35pm, RTÉ One
In March 2010, two American women, including one who named herself Jihad Jane, were arrested in a number of high-profile arrests in Waterford, Ireland, which were trumpeted by the US attorney’s office as ‘the new face of terrorism’.
Facing huge jail sentences, the two women pleaded guilty but now for the first time ever, with unprecedented access, Jihad Jane tells the story of the most absurd terror cell ever to come together.
Jihad Jane is about the Internet and the online world and the damaged people who made plans to murder a Swedish cartoonist.
It shows how reality came crashing in, when they met in person for the first time.
The film (reviewed here) captures post 9-11 America and what emerges is a touching and haunting portrait of not only a damaged terror cell but the country and world that they emerged from.

Deirdre O'Kane (below) provides the voiceover as a selection of telly addicts pass comment on the week's programmes from the comfort of their living rooms.
Two new families join the set-up for this new run.
Heading to Kilkenny for the first time ever, there's the Saunders family headed by homecare worker Helen and retired Garda Der.
The couple has been together for nearly 40 years and three of their four sons together will be joining them on their corner sofa.
In Lucan, there's Tallaght-native Lariche and her husband Gary (who's also a Shamrock Rovers supporter, so he's obviously quite a catch), who will be enjoying some entertainment at a social distance from Lariche’s younger brothers Gilmar and Blair.
Just look at the state of Gary's sock!
Mary Berry’s Simple Comforts, 8.00pm, BBC Two
Back on the box again, Mary Berry returns to the city where she learned to cook - Paris!
It is a place that lives and breathes food, and Mary wants to sample the very best of it. Where better to start than a fromagerie to buy cheese for her own version of a melting, crunchy croque monsieur.
Next, under the spire of the Eiffel Tower, Mary enjoys the perfect bistro lunch, all washed down with a drop of fine wine, before she heads to one of the city’s favourite creperies to finesse her technique - whipping up the classic lemon and sugar crepe.
