The Rainmaker (TG4, 9.00pm)
Matt Damon and Danny DeVito star in this excellent but overlooked adaptation of the John Grisham novel of the same name.

Everyone's talking about: Lionel Hutz
Lionel Hutz, attorney at law! The Simpsons writer Josh Weinstein revealed on Twitter that a story involving the beloved character was cut from 22 Short Films About Springfield.
The story involved Hutz entertaining the yellow family's neighbour Maude Flanders, as well as Marge's mother Jacqueline Bouvier.
