What to watch on TV tonight: Thursday

This is the telly everyone will be talking about.

DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow. 

First Dates Ireland (RTE 2, 9.30pm)

It’s that time of the week again. This episode, a woman from Cork who got married on Don’t Tell the Bride is looking for love again. Her date has a funny feeling she recognises her from somewhere. Two sisters from Malahide are also in the Gibson, but one of their dates assumes they’re mother and daughter. Argh.  

Sixty Days on the Streets (Channel 4, 9pm)

The second part of the documentary following former soldier Ed Stafford as he gets a first-hand view of life on the streets in the UK. This week, he travels to London where more than 1,000 rough sleepers can be found. He explores the world of begging, and how much can be made, as well as fake beggars who actually have homes.  

Pose (BBC 2, 12.30am)

The cult US drama has finally reached our shores. It’s on pretty late, technically tomorrow, but is worth staying up for or recording. It follows the characters of New York’s 1980s nightclub scene, and is absolutely fabulous.
