Oh please, please, please let this be the business.
This brand-new comedy series is written by and starring Dylan Moran (above), one of Ireland’s greatest comedians.
It’s about a couple, Dan and Carla (played by Moran and Morgana Robinson), who are at a crossroads in their relationship.
Carla wonders if the two of them trapped in a pokey flat is all she can expect from life, while Dan has been called in by his boss for a chat about his relevance.

Meanwhile, Joy offloads her emotional and physical baggage on Carla.

Blow-Ins, 10.15pm, RTÉ One
The demographic make-up of the Dingle Peninsula in county Kerry, situated on the edge of the Atlantic, is such that nearly 30 per cent of the population are immigrants.
The locals refer to these individuals as blow-ins, but what brought these people there and what caused them to stay?
And what’s a blow-in anyway?
Live UEFA Europa Conference League, 7.30pm, Virgin Media Three
Group stage European football returns to Ireland as Shamrock Rovers host Djurgardens (KO 8pm) at Tallaght Stadium on matchday one of ECL Group F.
This is the Hoops' first appearance in the group stage of European competition since their 2011/12 Europa League adventure.
They failed to pick up a point on that occasion, but are a much better prospect this time around and harbour ambitions in a group containing tonight's Swedish opponents, Gent of Belgium and Norway's Molde.
The always excellent Graham Gartland will be providing analysis.
