What to watch on TV and streaming today: Ice Waterfalls, The Town and Night Always Comes
Ice Waterfalls TG4, 4.15pm Catalan adventurer and elite kayaker Aniol Serrasolses is a man on a mission – he wants to break the record for the largest ever recorded kayak drop from a glacial waterfall. Cameras chart his efforts to do so, which involve an Arctic expedition to Norway and a 20-metre-high slab of ice. RTÉ2, 6.35pm The latest stop is Istanbul, where Roberts reveals the methods employed by the Ottomans to take the city from the Romans. She also journeys down the Bosphorus and haggles at a bazaar. Roy Orbison Night BBC Two, from 9.10pm An evening of programmes dedicated to the singer begins with a selection of his performances on the BBC. It's followed by Roy Orbison and Friends: A Black and White Night from 1988 (9.45pm), more concert footage in Roy Sings Orbison (10.45pm) and the profile One of the Lonely Ones (11.15pm). The Town TG4, 9.30pm Impressive crime drama written, directed by and starring Ben Affleck. A thief's efforts to keep a hostage sweet by getting to know her result in him falling in love. His plan to give up his errant ways doesn't go down well with his unstable partner. Rebecca Hall and Jeremy Renner also appear. Good Luck to You, Leo Grande RTÉ2, 10.25pm Although not one to watch with the family, this is a touching comedy-drama with Emma Thompson as a retired teacher who hires a gigolo (Daryl McCormack) to help her experience passion for the first time. Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser Netflix, streaming now Remember the 'transformation' shows of the Noughties? At one end of the scale, you had What Not To Wear and 10 Years Younger. At the other end, there was Extreme Makeover and The Swan. While most of the aforementioned predominantly featured women changing themselves for societal approval, The Biggest Loser was different. The global franchise, which ran from 2004 until (would you believe it) 2016, equally targeted men. Now, this docu-series looks at the making of the hit reality competition, exploring the good, the bad, and the exceptionally complicated. Featuring interviews with former contestants, trainers, producers and health professionals, the three-parter examines the show's approach to transformation, the support systems in place, and the unique challenges of filming a reality television show predominantly hinged on people with obesity issues losing weight in record time in the name of entertainment. Limitless: Live Better Now Disney+, streaming now Chris Hemsworth takes on three epic challenges to explore science-backed ways to improve our health. It proves that, when you're a famous actor fronting a documentary, your resources are 'limitless', as Thor becomes a drummer at a stadium gig, climbs a frozen 600-foot wall, and embraces brutal Special Forces pain training in South Korea. Speaking of which... The Echoes of Survivors: Inside Korea's Tragedies Netflix, streaming now South Korea is known for its cultural exports like K-pop and drama, but its story runs far deeper. Like Ireland, it bears the scars of oppression – a legacy that has fuelled renowned artistic expression. This powerful documentary series revisits traumatic events that profoundly shaped the nation. Night Always Comes Netflix, streaming now Movie time now. And it's a light little number (I jest) featuring Vanessa Kirby, Julia Fox and Eli Roth. Adapted from Willy Vlautin's bestselling novel, it follows Lynette, a woman who risks everything to secure a house for her family in a city they can no longer afford to live in.

Global interest is expected for Downton Abbey prop auction
Hard to believe that it has been 15 years since Downton Abbey first hit our screens. The Golden Globe, BAFTA and primetime Emmy winning series ran for six seasons from 2020-2015 and garnered more than 120 million viewers. So the auction of props, costumes and set pieces from one of the most popular programmes in the history of British television at Bonhams will generate global interest. The sale will run online from next Monday (August 18) to September 16, along with a special exhibition at Bonhams London headquarters at New Bond St. Highlights include costumes worn by the ladies including the prop costume and wedding bouquet worn by Michelle Dockery (as Lady Mary), the Downton Abbey bell wall from the servants hall, an autographed script of season one episode one, various cook costumes and pinafores worn by Lesley Nicol (as Mrs. Patmore) and a pair of white leather gloves worn by Rob James-Collier (as Thomas Barrow). Carnival Films, part of the Universal Studios group, will contribute proceeds from items they donated to Together for Short Lives, the UK's leading charity for children with life-limiting conditions and their families. A third and final Downton Abbey film is due for release in September.
