The 2 Johnnies Late Night Lock In
TTipperary comedy duo Johnny B and Johnny Smacks are back with the third series of The 2 Johnnies Late Night Lock In, their unpredictable entertainment show that features celebrity guests, live music, stand-up comedy, and surprise visits to members of the public out and about on the streets of Ireland. In episode one, they're joined by former champion jockey Davy Russell, stand-up comic Russell Kane, and the reigning Rose of Tralee Katelyn Cummins.
The Hack
The latest episode of The Hack airs tonight on Virgin Media One at 9pm. This new seven-part drama series interweaves two real-life stories: the work of investigative journalist Nick Davies (played by David Tennant) as he uncovers evidence of phone hacking at the News of the World, and the police investigation into the unsolved 1987 murder of private investigator Daniel Morgan.
The Ridge
The Ridge, a new psychological thriller, follows Scottish anaesthetist Mia Beaton (played by Lauren Lyle) as she arrives in New Zealand for her estranged sister's wedding only to find she has died, having allegedly fallen from a mountain ridge. Believing Cassy was murdered, Mia sets about hunting for the killer.
Nobody Wants This
The second season of the hit rom-com Nobody Wants This finally lands on Netflix today. The very funny, swoonworthy first series saw the outspoken, agnostic podcaster Joanne (played by Kristen Bell) fall for kind, unconventional rabbi Noah (played by Adam Brody). In the new episodes, Leighton Meester joins the cast as Abby, Joanne's school nemesis who is now a mummy blogger, while Seth Rogen also features in the new episodes.
