Lincoln (RTÉ One, 9.20pm)

Reality Bites: Dónal Walsh – My Story (RTÉ2, 7.30pm)
Back in 2013, 16-year-old cancer sufferer Dónal Walsh touched the nation with his simple message: It’s good to be alive. Walsh sadly lost his battle with the disease, but this documentary tells his story, in his own words, with help from his friends and family.
Everybody’s talking about: #Poldark
Radio Times readers have voted Aidan Turner’s topless scything scene in Poldark as the TV moment of the year! Congrants, Aido.
Poldark beat out Jay and Aliona’s jive on Strictly, Peter Capaldi’s anti-war speech on Doctor Who, and a key moment from BBC drama London Spy. This truly is a proud moment for Ireland as a nation.
