PICK OF THE DAY
The BRIT Awards 2021 8PM, UTV ★★★★
This year’s celebration of the best in UK and global music was delayed due to Covid. But now, with restrictions in the UK eased, the good news is that there will be a live audience of 4,000 key workers inside London’s O2 for the ceremony. Comedian Jack Whitehall (right) hosts for the fourth successive year and performers include Dua Lipa, Rag’n’Bone Man and US superstar Pink. Dublin’s own Fontaines D.C. are in the running for International Group, against the likes of BTS, Foo Fighters, HAIM and Run The Jewels. Easy.
Cosc 7PM, RTé ONE ★★★
The series recalling episodes in Irish history involving bans concludes with a look at the scandal surrounding John McGahern’s novel The Dark, which was banned by the Irish state censor on grounds of obscenity back in 1965.
Inside Monaco: Playground Of The Rich 9PM, VIRGIN ONE ★★★
Fred Sirieix narrates a new documentary series exploring life in the principality on the French Riviera, meeting the super rich – and the people who work for them. The first episode features Prince Albert.
Louis Theroux: Life On The Edge
9.40PM, RTé2 ★★★
The documentary-maker concludes his look back at some of his past projects by revisiting the films he made about families. They include a trilogy focused on the Westboro Baptist Church.
