RTÉ Investigates: Botox and Beauty at All Costs RTÉ One, 9.35pm As the ‘aesthetics industry’ in Ireland is booming, reporter Pamela Fraher goes undercover to investigate how Irish beauty companies are regulated, with illegal botox and prescription weight-loss medicine widely available, leaving the public at risk from products not fit from purpose. ​ ​Live MNF Sky Sports Main Event, 6.30pm Arsenal continue their quest to win their first Premier League title in 20 years away to Sheffield United.

The Souvenir

The Netflix Slam Netflix, streaming now At 8:30pm, you can see Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz go head-to-head, live in Vegas. For more sporting treats, Battle of The Baddest lands on Thursday. It charts the build-up to the fight between Tyson Fury and MMA’s Francis Ngannou, who has another Tyson (Mike) in his corner.

Somebody Feed Phil Netflix, streaming now For the uninitiated, meet Phil Rosenthal. He produced Everybody Loves Raymond and since that ended, he’s been a globe-trotting foodie demanding to be fed.

Spartan: Ultimate Team Challenge

Spartan: Ultimate Team Challenge Netflix, streaming now It’s Ireland’s Fittest Family but with bigger obstacles, bigger biceps and a bigger grand prize of $250k. ​ Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin AppleTV+, streaming now “Who is this guy with the incredible cheekbones?” Why, it’s Noel Fielding. Coinciding with the release of Joaquin Phoenix’s depiction of Napoleon on AppleTV+ (tenuous link, but they were both knocking around in the 1700s and partial to large hats), we have Noel enjoying some japes alongside his Never Mind The Buzzcocks co-host, Greg Davis. Expect a slightly more polished Horrible Histories, with added Hugh Bonneville and Noel’s little brother Michael ‘Naboo’ Fielding.

Spaceman

Spaceman Netflix, streaming now From voicing an animated iguana to embodying an astronaut hitched to Carey Mulligan, Adam Sandler’s golden handcuff deal with Netflix continues. Meet Jakub. He’s six months into a lone research mission to deep space and suddenly cops that the wife he left behind might not wait for him. Enter a romantic stowaway alien, Hanus (voiced by Paul Dano), who helps Jakub get his priorities straight. If you prefer a side of dystopia with your alien fair, try Captive State. ​ You Are Not Alone Netflix, streaming now The origins of Spain’s #MeToo movement in the wake of an egregious sexual assault by the self-proclaimed “Wolf Pack” back in 2016. Ditch the enforced dubbing and engage the subtitles.

Dead Hot

Dead Hot Prime Video, streaming now Set in Liverpool, twentysomethings Elliot and Jess are besties united by grief. They lost Peter, in mysterious circumstances, five years ago. Despite the pretext, this is funny.
