There's the All-Ireland football final, the Women's Euro final, Australia’s toxic dinner party, Inside the Cult of the Jesus Army, the Great American Songbook at The Proms, and a very young Helen Mirren in The Little Minister . . .
Pick of the Day
The Sunday Game Live, 2.15pm, RTÉ One
Streaming on RTÉ Player
The Search for Sam ends today.
Joanne Cantwell and Jackie Tyrrell present coverage of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final at Croke Park as Donegal face Kerry at 3.30pm.
Tomas O Se, Peter Canavan and Lee Keegan will be in studio to discuss and analyse today’s game.
Following Cork’s second-half collapse against Tipperary in the hurling final the other week, it might be foolhardy to call this one, other than to say it’s probably between the two best teams in Ireland.
That in itself should result in a good contest.
The Sunday Game at 9.30pm RTÉ2 will look back on the game, while no doubt Marty Morrissey will be at the winning team’s hotel.

Murder By Mushroom, 9.00pm, Virgin Media One
This is the story of the triple murder case that gripped Australians and many people around the world.
Leongatha is a country town just outside Melbourne, where nothing ever happens.
Well, until Erin Patterson (below) invited three dinner guests into her home and poisoned them with toxic death cap mushrooms slipped into individual beef Wellingtons.
Fatal death cap mushroom poisoning is confirmed, and a humble beef wellington identified as the culprit.
Did Erin Patterson deliberately devise a cunning plan to poison her lunch guests? Or is this a terrible mishap, a tragic kitchen accident?
Months after the lethal lunch, the woman at the centre of this strange case is arrested and charged with multiple murders and attempted murders.
With the help of Australia’s foremost criminal profiler, Kris Illingsworth, Death By Mushrooms unpacks one of the most bizarre Australian cases ever.
Illingsworth examines the possibility that the alleged murders might be tied to the local Church, a bizarre retribution killing.
Inside the Cult of the Jesus Army, 9.00pm, BBC Two
Part one of a two-part look at the origins and history of the Jesus Fellowship Church, which was founded in 1969.
Its early vision of communal living, shared finances and spiritual commitment changed over time, becoming more disciplined and controlling.
Unexplained deaths begin to occur within the community, exorcisms were performed on members with 'unclean spirits', and children as young as two were disciplined with birch canes in a practice known as rodding.
In 1987, leader Noel Stanton (above) announced the launch of a Jesus Army, with members often bringing new recruits back into community homes, where one became a witness to something that would change her life forever.
Operation Dark Phone: Murder by Text, 9.00pm, Channel 4
The inside story of the biggest ever joint law enforcement operation against a global network of organised crime groups who believed their encrypted phones were safe.
For 74 frantic days the authorities could read all the messages and sought to save lives and bring down the gangs, before the criminals realised that their data was being captured.

The Proms, 8.00pm, BBC Four
Andi Oliver presents a concert in which American jazz singer Samara Joy (below) and her octet join the BBC Concert Orchestra and conductor Miho Hazama to perform at the Royal Albert Hall.
Fresh from another double win at this year's Grammys, Joy makes her much-anticipated Proms debut, with classic songs and unique twists on instrumental classics from across jazz and its fringes, from bossa nova to the Great American Songbook.
She salutes figures including Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Charles Mingus and Oscar Peterson.
Songs featured include You Stepped out of a Dream, Stardust, Loverman (Oh Where Can You Be) and Misty.
Helen Mirren Remembers - The Little Minister, 9.40pm, BBC Four
The actress looks back on one of her earliest TV roles in the BBC's 1975 adaptation of JM Barrie's play, a tale of religion and romance in 19th-century Scotland.
Filmed at a time when she was gaining a reputation as Britain's most exciting new theatre star, this was part of the BBC's Play of the Month series, which brought classic texts to life for TV audiences of the day
The Little Minister follows at 9.50pm, where a priest the Rev Gavin Dishart (played by Ian Ogilvie) falls in love with Babbie, a Gypsy who incites a Luddite riot.

What's Up, Doc? 1.05pm, BBC Two
Sandwiched between The Last Picture Show and Paper Moon, this is the second of Peter Bogdanovich's remarkable trio of films that started his directorial career.
It's a screwball comedy, starring Barbra Streisand (above), Ryan O'Neal (above) and an impressively hysterical Madeline Kahn, paying homage to the genre's classics such as Bringing Up Baby.
O'Neal plays a timid professor in San Francisco for a conference who bumps into an eccentric, disaster-prone woman (Streisand) whose antics throw his carefully ordered life into upheaval.
Meanwhile a case of mistaken identity involving a jewel thief and a government whistle-blower only adds to his woes.
The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, 9.30pm, RTÉ One
This drama, starring Jim Broadbent and Penelope Wilton, can definitely be described as quirky.
Broadbent plays Devon-based pensioner Harold Fry, who receives a letter from his dying former work colleague, Queenie.
She is living out her final few days in a Northumberland hospice. Harold spontaneously embarks on a physically gruelling 500-mile trek north.
Just like The Proclamers’ song, he walks the 500 miles to see his terminally ill pal.
Thirteen Lives, 11.00pm, BBC Two
Ron Howard's fact-based drama, starring Viggo Mortensen, Colin Farrell and Joel Edgerton, is well worth staying up late for – or recording for future reference.
A rescue mission is organised in Thailand when 12 boys from a football team and their coach are trapped in the Tham Luang Nang Non system of underground caves that are flooding.

Live UEFA Women's Euro 2025, 4.00pm, RTÉ2
Streaming on RTÉ Player
Marie Crowe presents all the action from the final, held at St Jakob-Park in Basel, Switzerland, as holders England face Spain (KO 5pm).
Chloe Kelly's extra-time winner gave England a 2-1 victory over Germany at Wembley Stadium when this tournament was last held in 2022.
And Kelly was again the hero in the semi-final this time around, converting the rebound to her own penalty deep into extra time to give the Lionesses a dramatic 2-1 win over Italy.
But they face a tough test if they are to hold onto their crown against a Spain side who beat them 1-0 in the 2023 FIFA World Cup final and overcame Germany 1-0 after extra time in the semi-finals.
Aitana Bonmati (above) provided the goal that put the Spaniards into today's final, and just one game away from being both World and European champions.
With analysis from Karen Duggan, Megan Campbell and Richie Sadlier.
