The Katie Hannon Interview Live, RTÉ One, 7pm
In the second part of the series, RTÉ's Katie Hannon will sit down with Catherine Connolly - the independent candidate who is seeking votes to become the next President of Ireland.
Across the half-hour programme, Katie Hannon will interrogate Ms Connolly on her record in politics, her vision, and her values, to help voters decide where to give their support.
Earlier in the week, Katie Hannon interviewed Fine Gael candidate Heather Humphreys.
As the battle for the Áras is well under way, these interviews will give voters a comprehensive insight into their choice on polling day.
Speaking ahead of the interviews, Katie Hannon said: "Presidential elections don't come around very often, so I feel privileged to be able to conduct the only in-depth one-to-one interviews with the candidates on RTÉ television.
"We know from election studies that the majority of voters don't decide who they will vote for until the last week of an election campaign, so it's the perfect time to put the candidates through their paces to help viewers decide who should become the tenth President of Ireland."
The Personal History of David Copperfield, RTÉ2, 9pm
The ninth film based on Charles Dickens' eighth novel, The Personal History of David Copperfield is an impressive addition to the CV of the great Armando Iannucci (The Day Today, Brass Eye, The Thick of It, Veep), who both wrote and directed, and it's a major step up from his previous movie, the more cult-ish The Death of Stalin.
Quite simply, this is his move to centre-stage, mainstream movie-making. And he's played it like a Celluloid Lionel Messi.
The cast is fantastic, which means Dev Patel had to be on top form in the titular role. Alongside him are the likes of Tilda Swinton (a captivating Betsey Trotwood), Hugh Laurie (superb as Mr Dick), Peter Capaldi (a great Mr Micawber), Ben Whishaw (an impressively appalling Uriah Heep), and our own Bronagh Gallagher as Mrs Micawber and Rosaleen Linehan as Mrs Gummidge.
The premise is very straightforward... Read our 4-star review here
The Celebrity Traitors, BBC One, 9pm

As a new day dawns, the celebrity players turn their focus to a mission that forces them to work very closely as a team under punishing conditions.
But as night falls, will they continue to collaborate at the round table and catch a traitor, or will they inadvertently banish a fellow faithful?
The Father, RTÉ Player
Brilliant and devastating, The Father is a powerful depiction of a mind slowly losing its grip on reality.
This accomplished debut feature from French novelist and playwright Florian Zeller, masterfully adapted for the screen along with Christopher Hampton from Zeller's stage play, won them Best Adapted Screenplay at the 2021 Academy Awards and centres around a blistering, and deservedly Oscar-winning, performance from Anthony Hopkins.
He plays Anthony, a dapper and distinguished octogenarian living in a handsomely appointed London flat. After he scares off his latest caregiver, Anthony's daughter Anne (Olivia Colman) tries to persuade him to hire someone else, as she is moving to Paris to be with a man.
We first realise that something is seriously amiss when Anne returns to the flat after this confrontation - but this time she is played by another actress, Olivia Williams. The sense that nothing is as it should be, and that we can't trust what we're looking at, permeates the rest of the viewing experience.

Who Do You Think You Are?, RTÉ One, 10.35pm
After winning The X Factor in 2009, Olly Murs went on to become a megastar, selling out arenas worldwide. It's been a rollercoaster journey, but he always returns to his home in Essex.
People presume he's from Essex, but Murs is actually quarter-Latvian. His late grandfather Eddie was from Latvia, but Olly knows very little about this side of the family and wants to find out more.
Murs starts his research by visiting his father, Pete, who talks about the trip he and Eddie took to Riga, Latvia, in 2002. It was the first time Murs's grandfather opened up about his past. Eddie told Pete that during the Second World War, Eddie's mother, Veronika, handed him over to his father and stepmother. They left Latvia for Germany and then England, and it was the last time Eddie saw his mother.
