Boris v Dave: The Battle For Europe
Channel 4 On Demand, until June 24 AS we count down to the Brexit referendum on Thursday, here’s another chance to see Michael Crick’s effort to throw some light on the great frenemies of the moment, David Cameron and Boris Johnson. Despite there not being nearly enough one-on-one with either man, this is an entertaining look at their similarities of background — Eton, Oxford — and political outlook. Crick makes a good case for expediency being the prime mover for both. Boris, himself the product, briefly, of the European School in Brussels, never said a bad word about Europe until it served his purpose to do so, while Cameron has historic form in that regard but is currently of course on the side of the angels. As always, the real entertainment is in the growing personal animosity between the two.
The Good Wife
RTE Player, last episode, until July 1st After seven seasons, this is the last ever episode of The Good Wife. And so, farewell to Alicia Florrick, played by Julianna Margulies, a character who was flawed, compelling, fascinating. The last episode, unsurprisingly, steers clear of too many pat endings and neatly-tied plot lines. Instead, we are left wondering, as always, what Alicia will do next, and specifically, whether her future is with Peter or Jason. With regret, we say farewell.
Na Cloigne
TnaG Player, season 1, episodes 1-3 This three-part supernatural thriller was first broadcast in 2010 and later compiled into a full-length feature film. Here is a chance to watch it in the original episodes. Directed by Robert Quinn, and starring Dara Devaney, Barry McGovern and Siobhan O’Kelly, this tells the story of a young couple, Sean and Nuala. Nuala is a painter, subconsciously attuned to the Otherworld, while Sean is a philanderer who brings two young women home for a nightcap after a drunken night in the pub. The next morning, he wakes up with his clothes soaked in blood and no recollection of what happened.
