How To Be Good With Money

RTÉ One, 8.30pm

Meet the Murphy family. Rachel and James and their two young daughters, Robyn and Willow, live in Clondalkin in Dublin. The couple are saddled with huge debt. They borrowed for a wedding and a car, and are struggling to make a dent in their credit card balance. Along with all the debt they have big outgoings including rent and childcare.

Rachel and James long to give the girls stability by owning their own home.

But financial expert, Eoin McGee, drops the bombshell that if their finances remain the same, the Murphys won’t be in a position to buy for ten years. So they make a massive decision for their young family.

Clear History

RTÉ 2, 9.35pm

Members of the public get an opportunity to have their own mortifying moments ‘cleared from history’.

He has to solve a local murder as well as important questions such as: 'Are human beings worth saving?' and 'Why do they fold their pizza before eating it?'
