Extraordinary, Disney+
Máiréad Tyers and Siobhán McSweeney star in this new, quarter-life crisis comedy about a woman’s quest to unleash her superpower.
The series was written by Irish comedian Emma Moran and is set in a world where – for better and worse - everyone over the age of 18 has superpowers.

Well, everyone except for 25-year-old Jen, played by Tyers, who feels like she’s being left behind.
Luckily, Jen’s flatmates – Carrie, Kash, and a mysterious stray – keep her from falling into a well of self-pity.
Adrift in a big, confusing world, and armed with nothing but a bit of hope and a lot of desperation, Jen begins her journey to find her maybe-superpower.
But in doing so, she might discover the joy of simply being ordinary instead.

The guys will not only have to know about journalism, they’ll also have to learn about farming.
That’s something Nish thinks shouldn’t be difficult for Widdicombe, who was raised in rural Devon.
Their first assignment should be a front-page banker as they head to a local agricultural show, but only if they can get to grips with the baffling world of pedigree sheep judging.
Their second day sees them land a hot scoop, as Line of Duty star Adrian Dunbar is in the area representing a local GAA club.
Can our starstruck reporters turn a sporting story into a farming one?

Wagspiracy,: Vardy vs Rooney, 9.00pm, BBC Three
In 2019, 'Wagatha Christie’ gripped Britain as Coleen Rooney accused Rebekah Vardy of leaking stories about her to the tabloid press.
Despite the huge media attention and a trial that ended with Rooney victorious, the inside story of how and why this extraordinary moment in British culture came to pass has never fully been told - until now.
This programme explores the secret workings of the tabloid press, public relations, agents and the WAGs themselves that led to the high-profile public bust-up between Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy.
With access to key sources who didn’t give evidence at the trial, it reveals that far from being a simple argument between two friends, this is a tale about the complex nature of celebrity in Britain today.
