Who’s up for another hour of Covid-themed telly? No, come back (I’m joking – it isn’t as if you actually have anywhere to go). Twin TV boffins Chris and Xand van Tulleken are joined by Dr Guddi Singh for an exploration of how Covid mutations will impact on the vaccine roll-out. They hazard a guess, too, as to when this might all end - though their conclusions obviously come with a health-warning given the diverging rates of vaccine roll-out in Ireland and the UK.
With the pandemic rumbling ever onwards we could all do with reminder of the joys and pitfalls of human interaction. And that is what is served up on a (socially-distanced) platter on the new season of First Dates Ireland. This week, a professional croupier, a nurse, a history teacher and a “tattooed bad boy” are among those looking for love (or even just a moment of emotional connection). For viewers, meanwhile, the novelty will be in watching people walk into a restaurant and order food and then converse without any need for a Zoom link, just like our grandparents used to.
