Moone Boy (Sky1, 9pm)
Roscommon’s greatest ever sitcom* returns in triumph for a third series, with its clown-car cast of Irish comedians including Chris O’Dowd and Deirdre O’Kane. Expect some pretty good gags and – perhaps more importantly - numerous on-the-nail 1990s references that will send you shooting back to childhood. #mooneboy
