The summer is looking bright on RT with a television schedule packed full of new series, fascinating documentaries, family favourites and an exciting season of sport. There's something for everyone on RT One, RT Two and RT jr, with brand-new series Callan's Kicks, How to be Happy, The Shelbourne, Ireland's Ocean and Pet Island joining perennial favourites The Rose of Tralee and Saturday Night with Miriam, while new RT jr shows such as Boj and Buddies will keep younger viewers entertained. In addition, RT marks the centenary of World War 1 with a special season of programming on RT One, while fans can look forward to a month-long feast of soccer from Brazil with the 2014 FIFA World Cup on RT Two. No matter what the weather's like this summer there'll be lots to entertain everyone on RT One and RT Two and RT jr.
Oliver Callan and his gang provide the laughs on RT One with a full series of Callan's Kicks, following on from the success of the new year's eve television show and the ongoing success on RT Radio 1. The six-part weekly sketch show will chart the events of the moment, sending up Ireland's world of celebrity, media culture, sports stars and politicians. And a one hour documentary Room to Improv follows Tommy Tiernan across nine European countries on a whistle-stop tour as each night he improvises from scratch. Music-wise on RT One, the best of Ireland and Scotland team up with the best of Nashville as The Transatlantic Sessions returns for a sixth series with guests including Mary Chapin Carpenter, Maura O'Connell, Teddy Thompson, Donal Lunny and Andy Irvine.
Presented by Aidan Power, Shakedown the Town is a brand new treasure hunt show and original format devised by Adare Productions which is currently looking for families from Dingle, Skerries, Westport, Kilkenny, Limerick and Clonakilty to take on the challenge and compete for a fantastic family holiday. Each week two teams will compete against each other to crack the clues and be the first to unlock the safe. Miriam O'Callaghan returns with a tenth series of her studio-based entertainment show, Saturday Night With Miriam. Over the course of eight weeks, Miriam introduces a host of well-known faces, international guests, current issues and music. And D ith S presents live from Tralee, where Roses from all over the world will compete to be the crowned the 56th Rose of Tralee.
Nearly 200,000 young Irish men fought in World War 1 and RT will mark the anniversary with a series of programmes and events across television, radio, mobile and online. In My Great War, a two-part RT One documentary series, young descendants of an even younger generation of Irish soldiers will journey from Ireland to Europe to hear their history: the great-grand fathers, aunts and uncles who fought for British. Following this, John Bowman and guests discuss Ireland's role in the Great War and its aftermath and examine whether Ireland has finally come to terms with its enduring legacy. And Nationwide will have a week of special programmes commemorating World War 1 with stories about the regiments who took part; a Jesuit priest Fr Frank Browne who served on the western front, and the impact the war had on local communities. RT News and Current Affairs will also mark the anniversary with a series of special reports across One O'Clock, Six One and Nine News programmes.
In How to Be Happy, psychologist Dr. Maureen Gaffney shows how we can have a deeper sense of well-being, meaning and purpose in our lives if we consciously work at it. She invites people from across the country to join her for a series of workshops where the participants are introduced to strategies to improve their happiness. Watch the series, do the homework and see can you be happier.
The Shelbourne is a six-part observational documentary series following four months in the life of The Shelbourne hotel. For the first time ever the hotel has given RT cameras exclusive access to the front and back of house. Find out what it really takes to deliver 5 star service, where saying no to a guest is not an option.
In a new series of Kitchen Hero, Donal Skehan looks back over the last 50 years to a generation that cooked far more, with a far smaller choice of ingredients and with almost no convenience, and draws inspiration from the recipes of food writer Theodora Fitzgibbon.
Ireland's Ocean is a major four-part wildlife series exploring the wonderful and diverse creatures that live in the seas around Ireland. The series looks at the history of man's relationship with and response to the sea in Ireland, why do we love dolphins, why do we hate sharks, on what do we base our fears of the ocean and the unknown and what is the current state of our seas. Also for animal lovers, new series Pet Island meets some of the country's most pampered animals and their besotted owners. They include pet psychics, an opera singer who serenades his mini-donkeys and a former Miss Ireland contestant who sleeps with seven dogs.
Other new documentaries and factual series include Building Ireland, a new six-part series in which a team of expert presenters explore some of the finest examples of Ireland's building and engineering heritage. The series examines the wider socio-cultural impact of built heritage, on places and people in the unique historical context of the Irish experience. O'Connell Street is Dublin's main thoroughfare, with a footfall of 27 million last year. What is the street like for those living, working, visiting or just hanging out in downtown Dublin?
