Eilis O'Hanlon: ‘If we were ever hit by nuclear war Nationwide would still go out with Anne Cassin in a hazmat suit'
Television reviews
Other programmes come and go, but Nationwide (RTÉ One, Monday, 7pm) is forever.
One gets the sense that, if the country were ever ravaged by nuclear war, the show would still go out at the same time three nights a week, with Anne Cassin strolling down some country lane in a hazmat suit, cheerily announcing: 'Tonight we'll be asking locals in Cavan how they're adapting to the radioactive fallout.'

Eilis O'Hanlon: ‘By the ad break, it was time for some guff about St Patrick. It was here that viewers' worst suspicions were about to be confirmed'
First it was Brendan Gleeson. Now his In Bruges co-star Colin Farrell seems to be following the same path to gain national treasure status, as he goes from playing ex-cons and hitmen to providing voiceover duties for From that Small Island (RTÉ One, Sunday, 6.20pm). But oh dear, what did the makers of this new series covering 8,000 years of Irish history slip into his tea in the recording studio to make him sound so lethargic?

Fans hail new GAA documentary that took five years to make
Monday night saw a new Gaelic football documentary series begin on RTÉ One, with Hell for Leather premiering at 9:35pm. The series, which took half a decade to produce, includes musings from some of the biggest voices in Gaelic football, including Joe Brolly, Lee Keegan and Michael Murphy. The pilot episode went down well with viewers across the country, with many voicing their praise online. Even those involved in the game were quick to laud the production, with Down's Darragh O'Hanlon joining in. A lot of the positive reaction centred around the inclusion of the late Micheál Ó Muircheartaigh in the series, with this being his last TV appearance before his death last June. Many praised the timing of the series being broadcast - whether it was intentional or not - to have the episodes air in the midst of what is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing championships we have seen in big ball. The show's first and second episodes can be watched on the RTÉ Player. Let's hope the rest of the series continues on this trajectory set by the opening two episodes.
