There's a big double-header of GAA action, the final semi-final of Britain’s Got Talent, a look at the music of 1988, a Milli Vanilli doc, and a comedy special episode of Pointless Celebrities . . .
Pick of the Day
The Saturday Game Live, 2.45pm, RTÉ2
Here’s what’s promising to be an exciting double-header of GAA action as Galway face Wexford (Throw-in 3.15pm) and Armagh meet Donegal (Throw-in 5.25pm).
Joanne Cantwell presents coverage of the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship match at Pearse Stadium, followed by the Ulster Senior Football Championship final at St Tiernach's Park in Clones.
In the Leinster hurling round robin, both Galway and Wexford have won one and lost one game so far – so victory here is essential for both sides.
Ulster football is never less than competitive, so this final could be quite a contest. Armagh (above) are the reigning All-Ireland champions, but they were beaten by Donegal on penalties last year.

Mob Cops, Sky Cinema Premiere & NOW
I haven't seen this, but the reviews I have seen aren't great. Strong cast though. And it's based on a true story.
Kevin Connolly (Entourage), David Arquette (Scream) and Jeremy Luke (Sully) star in a crime drama about the darkest corruption case in the history of the New York City Police Department.
When a retired NYPD detective writes a book about his family's ties to the mob, it starts a firestorm between the dirty cops working for the city's brutal crime boss and the officers trying to bring them to justice.
