New dating show which flips the makeover idea into a 'make-under'. The single women are made ditch their make-up and glam clothes in favour of a natural look before they are sent on dates with various suitors. First up is Patricia from Derry, a hairdresser and single mother who reluctantly gives up the make-up that she says is usually used to boost her confidence.

Kevin McGahern may be familiar as the former host of Republic of Telly, but he's also a bit of an artist, as we see in this new daily show. From Monday to Thursday, he'll interview various celebrities via video chat, and will paint their portrait while talking to them. First up is Derry Girls star Saoirse-Monica Jackson who links up from her home in London. Through the week, he'll also chat to Pat Shortt, Joanne McNally and Don Conroy.

Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington star in the new eight-part adaptation of the popular book by Celeste Ng. Two families from very different backgrounds gradually become intertwined, and eventually their relationships get very complicated through a murky adoption tale. Decent without ever quite fulfilling its potential, the show does a great line in family dynamics, particularly mother-daughter relationships.
