Pick of the Day
Mrs Robinson, 9.35pm, RTÉ One
Streaming on RTÉ Player
This documentary tells the story of Mary Robinson – in her own words, for the very first time – and her battles for justice and equality over half a century.
These battles took place on the streets, in the courts, at the ballot box, and in backroom corridors of power.
A reforming constitutional lawyer and Senator in her early career, Mary Robinson detonated an electoral earthquake by winning the Irish Presidential vote in 1990, becoming the first female to take on the role.
Later, as a crusading UN High Commissioner, she built a lasting legacy of fearlessly challenging perpetrators of human rights abuses all over the world.
To this day, she exerts leadership as the Chair of The Elders; the independent group of global leaders (founded by Nelson Mandela) who work for peace, justice and human rights.

Breakaway Femmes, 9.30pm, TG4
This is all about the first failed attempt to stage a women's Tour de France.
Contenders raced over the same cobblestones, conquered the same mountains, and were cheered by the same throng of adoring crowds as the men.
Unfortunately, the race was cancelled in the 1980s because it 'got in the way' of the men's event.
It didn't return to the sporting calendar until 2022.
Pearl Harbor: World on Fire, 9.50pm, PBS America
Early on the morning of 7 December 1941, a Japanese squadron attacked the American fleet anchored in the waters of Pearl Harbor, west of Honolulu.
This attack was a major turning point in the global conflict. The very next day, the United States entered the war, ending its policy of isolationism and reversing its defensive strategy.
How did Pearl Harbor change the face of the war and, in turn, that of the world? Why did President Roosevelt label it a 'day of infamy’?
Was it really a victory for Japan? What was the diplomatic background? And was the attack truly a surprise?

In London, a major trauma happens every 60 minutes, and for the NHS, each call is a race against time.
Critical: Between Life and Death gets inside the minds of the dedicated trauma teams that hold lives in their hands when the worst happens.
From the makers of the award-winning 24 Hours in A&E and with exclusive access, 40 cameras are embedded for 21 days across the entire London Major Trauma System.

Letters From The Past, Netflix
This Turkish drama has an intriguing set-up.
In 2003, Fatma Ayar, a teacher at a private high school, assigned her Literature Club students to write letters to themselves as part of PTT's "Letters from the Past" campaign.
These letters, intended to be delivered in 2023, were accidentally discovered by Fatma Ayar's daughter, Elif.
As these forgotten letters resurface and impact the lives of their original recipients, Elif also faces a truth that will drastically change her own life.
