The Best things to Watch on TV For Paddy’s Day

With social distancing underway, parties and parades are cancelled for this year’s Paddy’s Day.

Don’t worry though, today you can escape into TV land and enjoy the celebrations virtualy.

To help, we’ve compiled a TV guide with the best things to watch for Paddy’s Day 2020:

RTÉ 1

10.00- Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day

To get you into the Paddy’s Day spirit, this programme shares readings from St. Patrick himself, sacred music and historical sites.

12.00- Madagascar

For the many of us who find comfort in kids films, this is an animated comedy about animals who escape from the zoo and head to Africa.

This is sure to put a smile on your face.

15.35- Oz the Great and Powerful

Escape into fantasy with this adventure film.

Starring the amazing Mila Kunis and James Franco, a circus illusionist is transported to a magical land where he is mistaken for a powerful wizard.

As you can probably guess, it’s a prequel to The Wizard of Oz.

19.00- Guth Vibrations

This show follows four people – an influencer, a podcaster, a rapper and a writer, who try to make their voice heard in their own way.

This is the perfect distraction from social-distancing.

20.30- Home of the Year

The best of Irish interior inspiration.

Expert judges visit a restored lighthouse in East Cork, a re-modelled home in Co Antrim and a cottage in Dublin as they hunt for Home of the Year 2020.

21.30- Rosie

 

Film Poster

This is a fantastic film written by Ireland’s much loved Roddy Doyle.

In this drama, a mother tries to protect her family after their landlord sells the house they were renting, leaving them homeless.

This is very relatable with the housing crises and definitely not to be missed!

 

RTÉ 2

If you like documentaries (or even just animals), you’ll love this.

It follows the animals that live in Ireland’s cities, largely unnoticed by residents.

21.00- Pulling with My Parents

No pressure then…
