Look, the sun is shining for the weekend so the only thing you should be doing is heading out doors and given the madra a bit of a long walk in the beach. Or maybe you should dust off your tent and take a trip to Westmeath for one of Ireland’s best festivals, the Body & Soul Festival (tickets still available on their website). But if sand in your shoes or portaloos aren’t your thing, there are few other things you can check out on your Tellybox or the local movie fleapit…

A warm thank you to, clockwise from top left: celebrity accountant Vanessa Foran, Johnny Keenan, ‘Preposterous‘ and Olga Cronin, our reduced panel on last night’s truncated Broadsheet on the Telly.
The show can be viewed in its entirety above
Unforgivably, ‘Preposterous’ slept through the 10pm start leaving a fuming panel marooned in cyber space. The show managed to begin at 11.30pm, by which time producer Neil Curran had gone to bed.
But an illuminating dispatch from The Disclosures tribunal with Olga and Vanessa and Johnny kindly dropping in helped salvage a screwed-up episode 69.
