Ireland’s Fittest Family

Anna Geary and Andrew Trimble RTE RTE

Ireland’s Fittest Family is back for a new series, with more super-fit parents and kids ready to put their skills to the test. This season there’s a new location for the three weeks of the heats: Haulbowline Navy Base. But don’t worry, the competitors will still have to contend with the bogs of Hell and Back in Co Wicklow for the quarter-finals. Also returning are coaches Anna Geary, Donncha O’Callaghan, Davy Fitzgerald, Ellen Keane, Michael Darragh MacAuley and reigning Fittest Family champ Andrew Trimble, as well as series host Laura Fox. Plus it’s all focused towards a nifty €15,000 prize for the winners.

Airing on RTÉ, Sunday (1 November) at 6.30pm.

It Gets Worse

If you missed this new Gen Z comedy on the telly, you can stream it for free on the Channel 4 website. Leo Reich is the creator and star of the series, which follows three friends in their late 20s who are being kicked out of their shared flat and need to pull their lives together. In its review, The Guardian proclaimed that It Gets Worse is “truly funny, propelled along by Reich’s zinger-filled, often profound script”.
