Pick of the Day
The End of the World with Beanz, 7.00pm, RTÉ One
Streaming on RTÉ Player
Comedian, writer and traveller Martin Beanz Warde presents this brand-new environmental docuseries in which he jumps headfirst into the sustainability and climate action challenges facing Ireland today.
Each week, Martin will be joined by a familiar co-host and travel to glamorous and not so glamorous locations to spend time with those who are making extreme life choices with the aim of saving the planet.
Martin is no climate expert. He is as confused about it all and wants to demystify these massive themes for himself, bringing viewers and his co-hosts along with him.
Playing the everyman, he is willing to open up about his own misconceptions and lack of education about climate. And on his journey of discovery, he is never afraid to poke fun at himself.
This opening episode finds him travelling to The Zad in France with comic Emma Doran to learn about the benefits of communal life and forages for his lunch in Galway with renowned chef JP McMahon.

Royal Kill List, 9.00pm, Sky History

This new mini-series looks back at one of the most seismic events in British royal history.
On the 30th of January in 1649, for the first and only time, a British monarch, King Charles I, was publicly executed, having been tried and convicted of treason by Parliament.
This heralded ten years of Britain as a republic before, in May 1660, the monarchy was restored with the accession of King Charles II.
While publicly planning his own lavish coronation to take place the following year, in April 1661, the new king had ordered an exhaustive search for the warrant ordering his father’s execution.
On finding it and the 59 signatories appended to it – only 38 of whom were still alive by that time – Charles ordered the biggest manhunt in British royal history.
Told through dramatic reconstruction, with the actors serving as primary storytellers – Sheila Atim for the Royalists, Jared Harris for the Regicides, and Joseph Fiennes for King Charles II – the mini-series plays out as a Jacobean tragedy.

She seeks an alliance with Sir Edward Coke by marrying John to his daughter, Frances.
But Mary’s plans are blocked when she meets her match in Lady Hatton, the fabulously wealthy and cynical mother of Frances.
