RTÉ's 90s striptease throwback sends internet into a spiral
Well, this isn't the kind of woolly jumper content we expected from the Aran Islands…. An old clip from Beo le Bridóg, an RTÉ Television Irish language chat show that aired in the mid-90s, has resurfaced and it's sending social media into a tailspin. The footage in question? A group of brawny Aran men performing what can only be described as a Magic Mike-meets-TradFest strip tease. Yes, we're as surprised as you are. Well, this isn't the kind of woolly jumper content we expected from the Aran Islands….Pic: TikTok/RTEOne Originally broadcast in 1996, the video has recently gone viral after being unearthed by the national broadcaster and shared on TikTok. The clip has prompted a wave of pearl-clutching reenactments, speculation about how many televisions were hastily switched off in Connemara, and more than one thirst comment about a man who is likely in his 60s now. 'You never know what you'll find in the #rtearchives,' the RTÉ One account wrote. @rteone You never know what you'll find in the #rtearchives 👀 Here's a spicy lil throwback from Irish language show Beo Le Bridóg in 1996 with performance we're guessing the audience never forgot 😂 ♬ original sound – RTÉ One 'Here's a spicy lil throwback from Irish language show Beo Le Bridóg in 1996 with performance we're guessing the audience never forgot.' Unsurprisingly the comments ranged from NSFW and those aghast at the national broadcaster's laissez faire attitude to bare exposed chests and gyrating hips back in the 90s. 'The line for confession the next morning must have been huge,' one user joked. 'The pearl clutching must have been off the charts,' another added. 'This in 1996 when they couldn't even handle normal people in 2020,' a third penned. We're sure Paul Mescal would make a killing if he donned the miniscule sailor suit. One can dream.

The Moors Murders: A Search for Justice BBC Two, 9pm Six decades on from the child murders that shocked Britain, this documentary sheds new light on the crimes of notorious serial killers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley. Destination X Destination X BBC One, 9pm Move over Race Across the World , there's a new reality travel competition on the block. Rob Brydon is our guide, while the competitors set out on the road trip of a lifetime — the catch is, they have no idea where they are, and must work it out from the clues they find en route. Pray for Our Sinners RTÉ One, 9.35pm Acclaimed feature-length documentary in which journalist and film-maker Sinéad O'Shea returns to her hometown of Navan to meet those who felt compelled to stand up against the Catholic Church and its approach to women and children.

He plays Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, the German officer instrumental in the failed plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler in 1944. The all-star supporting cast includes Kenneth Branagh and Bill Nighy. Miley Cyrus: Something Beautiful Disney+, streaming now Are you over all the shark stuff (if you're not, Sharks Gone Viral is Disney+'s latest shark offering)? Then consider watching Miley as she dives back into her Disney roots with this fantastical pop opera featuring 13 original songs and a purportedly dazzling visual album. It's the closest you'll get to seeing her live given her well-documented dislike of touring. Shiny Happy People: The Teenage Holy War Shiny Happy People: The Teenage Holy War Prime Video, streaming now 'How do you know you're in a cult if it's your normal?' For most under the power of leader Ron Luce, believing you were meant to die a teen martyr for Christ was normal... It would appear there was so much for the Teen Mania Ministries escapees to unpack of their time at the church that Emmy-winning filmmakers Nicole Newnham and Cori Shepherd are back with a second season. They continue to focus on America's largest youth ministry, which attracted millions through wildly popular stadium shows known as 'Acquire the Fire'. Packed with Millennial-era energy and copious levels of cringe, the series captures massive crowds of teens swept up in fervent religious concerts, purity pledges, and missionary zeal — when all most of them needed was a decent regular rave to attend. Beneath the polished youth group image, it reveals rigid spiritual training, theatrical indoctrination, and emotional manipulation orchestrated by Luce. My Melody & Kuromi My Melody & Kuromi Netflix, streaming now Fellow Sanrio fans, rejoice! In this charming stop-motion series, celebrating their respective birthdays, (cooler) younger sister Kuromi hunts for My Melody's cake secret, triggering sweet chaos in Mariland. If you can't handle the kawaii burblings, consider watching on mute; it's worth it for the animation. A Normal Woman Netflix, streaming now A socialite's life unravels when a mysterious illness — and her family's disbelief (and latent misogyny) — push her to sabotage her perfect facade and uncover a darker, truer self. Happy Gilmore 2 Happy Gilmore 2 Netflix, streaming now Yay, 1990s nostalgia! Can you believe it took only three decades for a sequel to this Adam Sandler vehicle? That's either an exceedingly good or a not-so-good sign. It was also released straight to Netflix. Take from that what you will. Hitmakers Netflix, streaming now Twelve top songwriters and producers come together at high-stakes music camps to create hits for stars like John Legend, Shaboozey, and Lisa of Blackpink — revealing the creative tension and breakthroughs behind the music-making process (for humans). Trigger Trigger Netflix, streaming now This week's K-drama features the rising threat of illegal firearms and shootings; an unsettling shift in South Korea's typically gun-free landscape. TheFacebook Honeytrap: Catching a Killer Prime Video, streaming now A woman grappling with chronic illness helps track down her aunt's murderer from 6,000 miles away. How? By using fake profiles, unseen messages, and sheer determination, all from her couch in the UK. For yet more true crime on Prime, there's A Killer's Confession (Christopher Halliwell's, to be precise).
