Outlander
11.00pm RTÉ 2
First instalment in a new drama series of 16 episodes. Claire Randall (played by Irish actress Caitriona Balfe) is reunited with her husband Frank after returning from the battlefields of World War II. While on their second honeymoon she walks through one of the ancient stone circles and is suddenly transported to 1743 Scotland, torn by war and rogue Highland clans. Accused of being a spy, Claire is forced by circumstance to marry an outlawed Highlander, she finds herself falling in love and torn by her loyalties to two men in vastly different times. If you can suspend your belief system, this could be fun. Picture below shows Sam Heughan as Jamie and Caitriona Balfe as Claire Randall. Quite steamy, one understands, their relationship. Not to be confused with mist on the mountains.
The Insiders
7.00pm RTÉ One
New series. The inside story of the removal of the Rule 42 which prohibited soccer and rugby from GAA grounds and of how a proposal written in a county kitchen in Co Roscommon opened the way for the Queen's Visit. Insiders tells the story of the battle to remove the ban and of how the GAA did what was once unthinkable – opened the gates of Croke Park to rugby and soccer. This programme looks how a proposal written on a country kitchen table suggesting other sports be played in Croke Park eventually laid its hand gently on the peace process. How the struggle within the GAA to amend Rule 42 ultimately led to the moment when Ireland played England in rugby and God Save the Queen was sung at Croke Park. Picture shows Conor Ó Sé, the former Rugby international. Ó Sé was asked by the English Rugby Football Union to explain to the English team the significance of what was happening when Croke Park was chosen for a rugby international.
