Tuesday's TV tips

Kitchen Hero: Donal's Irish Feast (RTE One, 8.30pm)

Donal heads to Tipperary this week and meets the producers of O’Donnell Crisps which are made using Tipperary grown potatoes.

In Thurles he visits Irish Piedmontese Beef, producers of a lean, low fat beef, made from unique Piedmontese cattle, a breed that is originally from Italy.

And in Clonmel Donal enjoys Barmbrack from Hickey’s Bakery, where they make this traditional Irish fruit loaf with a unique recipe developed by the Hickey family who are fourth generation bakers in Clonmel.

Dishes served at Donal’s delicious FEAST in Inch House include Rosemary Rib-Eye Steak with Horseradish Sauce and Fennel Salad, and Barmbrack Parfait with Whiskey Prunes.

The Syndicate (BBC1, 9pm)

Kay Mellor’s lottery-centric saga continues, and as the race to find the missing Amy gathers momentum, celebrations lead to revelations about Lady Hazelwood’s loyalty.

Lord Hazelwood faces a moral dilemma when the Americans make him an offer he may not be able to refuse, and the discovery of hidden belongings brings more questions. Apparently it’s not only Sean who has secrets to hide.

Drama, starring Alice Krige, Anthony Andrews, Lenny Henry, Elizabeth Berrington and Daisy Head.

No Offence (C4, 9pm)

Paul Abbott’s comedy crime drama draws to a close, and there is no shortage of dramatic fireworks for the long suffering law enforcers.

Dinah clashes with Deering, setting off an irreversible chain of events which brings them into conflict with their professional duty.

Meanwhile, Jonah’s job is also on the line when an attempt to save the lives of a mother and baby goes disastrously wrong.

Starring Joanna Scanlan, Elaine Cassidy, Alexandra Roach, Will Mellor and Paul Ritter. Last in the series.

The Bank: A Matter of Life and Debt (BBC2, 9pm)

Since the 2008 banking crash, the public’s faith in banks is at an all-time low.

Filmed over a year at the NatWest branch in Huddersfield, this series explores our tempestuous relationship with our finances and the banks we choose to help us look after them.

NatWest is owned by RBS, which was bailed out by the government and is 79-per-cent owned by the taxpayer.

So when their customers feel they aren’t getting a fair deal, even more focus is placed on the bank.

Deputy bank manager Claire is challenged to improve the branch’s customer service score, but when customer Alan fumes over a missing cheque, and another, Chris, complains about the mortgage advice he’s been given, this seems like an impossible task.

Ryan: A Legacy (RTE One, 9.35pm)

The series continues with a look at the life and legacy of Tony Ryan, the visionary behind GPA and Ryanair as well as the instigator of the current global success in Irish aviation leasing.

Tony Ryan’s beginning wasn’t as privileged as his later years at the helm of an international business. Tony was the son of a CIE employee who tragically died when his son was only 18.

Growing up in the railway hub of Limerick Junction, travel was an early lure for young Tony. It was also a way to support his mother and younger siblings.

But the journey from ground staff worker in Aer Lingus to aviation mogul of a worldwide brand came as a surprise to many.

In the 1970s, and after 15 years with Ireland’s national carrier, what turned Tony Ryan into an entrepreneur who could position Shannon-based air leasing company, Guinness Peat Aviation, on the global stage?

And how key was meeting his match in ambitious and controversial protégé, Michael O’Leary, to growing Ryanair into Europe’s largest budget airline?

Big Brother (TV3, 10pm)

Brand new to TV3, the sixteenth series of the groundbreaking reality show, Big Brother, hits our screens with a brand new bunch of eccentric, entertaining and unique housemates.

Hosted by Emma Willis, the new ‘Timebomb’ theme will see a Mad Men-influenced, '60s-style decor for the new house as part of an upbeat, glamorous, thrilling and mischievous series.

Big Brother will play with time during tasks and have secret missions to create tension in the house.

Tattoo Fixers (E4, 10pm)

This eye-opening series showcases the talents of superstar inkers Sketch, Lou and Jay, whose daily work involves fixing and transforming the most extreme, ridiculous and hilarious tattoos that arrive at their studio.

And with an estimated one in six Brits regretting their tattoo choices, there’s certainly no shortage of work for the team.

In the opening edition, they attempt to not only rescue a regrettable inking, but also save a wedding as Sam’s embarrassing tattoo has earned him an ultimatum.

Holy Motors (Film4, 11.50pm) Premiere

(2012) Leos Carax’s dreamlike drama sharply divided critics at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, with audiences reacting with either passion or disdain to the French writer-director’s surreal vision.

Monsieur Oscar (Denis Lavant) travels in the back of a limousine driven by trusty chauffeur Celine (Edith Scob).

The enigmatic Oscar has a busy schedule of ’appointments’ to fulfil and as his car glides around Paris, he changes into numerous costumes and masks to adopt the guise of a gnarly beggar, an assassin and a deformed monster who kidnaps a model from a fashion shoot.

For his final meeting of the day, he encounters fellow chameleon Eva Grace (Kylie Minogue), who has been slipping between roles like him and greets Oscar with a heartbreaking lament as they wander through an abandoned building.
