Whew.
It’s the hottest day of the year out there, but eventually the sun will fall and we’ll return indoors from our back gardens, or parks that are an appropriate distance from our homes.
When we do, we might fancy watching a movie on TV. So let’s see what we’ve got.
Superbad – Comedy Central, 9pm
One of the funniest and most memorable comedies of the last 20 years. If you haven’t seen it, then you really should change that.
Busby – Sky Documentaries – 9pm
Documentary focusing on the life and career of legendary Manchester United manager Matt Busby, detailing both the successes and tragedies of his time in the role.
LA Story – Sky Comedy – 9pm
Steve Martin, Patrick Stewart and Richard E. Grant star in a rom-com, but regrettably, those three are not romancing one another.
The Imposter – Channel 4
BAFTA-winning documentary about the case of Nicholas Barclay, a 13-year-old boy who went missing, and the man who claimed to be the youngster years later, having apparently escaped being held captive. His radically different appearance and personality raised suspicion, but the child’s family accepted him unquestioningly.
Mike Bassett: England Manager – ITV4 – 10.10pm
England being led by a squadron of inept know-nothings? Wherever did they get that idea?
Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine – Sky Documentaries – 11pm
Alex Gibney looks back at the life of Apple founder Steve Jobs and his legacy, offering an unflinching look at the the bold, brilliant and at times ruthless iconoclast.
Interesting, but less entertaining than the biopic with Michael Fassbender.
LISTEN: You Must Be Jokin’ with Aideen McQueen – Faith healers, Coolock craic and Gigging as Gaeilge
