THE EAGLES RETURN, Tuesday 26 October, 7.00pm, RTÉ One
Week three of The Eagles Return catches up with all three birds – Golden Eagle, White Tailed Eagle & Red Kite – as they now survive for themselves in the wild. With project managers tracking the birds around the clock, tensions rise as birds begin to go missing. Sadly their worst fears are realised – dead birds are discovered and the cause of death is confirmed as poison.
Anger rises within the farming community as they feel they are being blamed and they fight to defend their reputation. Can the two groups work together? And can these magnificent birds of prey battle to survive in the Irish countryside once again?

WINNING STREAK, Saturday 23 October, 8.30pm, RTÉ One
Each week, five players will join hosts Kathryn Thomas and Marty Whelan for a shot at winning some fantastic cash prizes. In association with the National Lottery, the top prize on Winning Streak is an incredible €500,000 and players can walk away with more than that depending on how much they bank during the course of the show.
The 21st season of Winning Streak will feature some exciting new twists, including a new game and a tougher fight-out for the chance to spin the wheel.
Players who collect the right letters on the scratchcard stub will have the opportunity to win up to €50,000 on the Dream Maker Wheel which, as last year, will be presented by Geri Maye and recorded each week in a different part of the country.
This year, Winning Streak will again feature five contestants in studio. As before, each will play Cash Cubes, an individual round in which the audience will get to know them and they’ll get their first taste of a shot at the big money. After that, they’ll play a unique new game called Dare to Share in which they’ll try to build-up the biggest cash fund they can – together! Each player will take a turn, but they’ll be allowed to confer and at the end of the game, their winnings will be pooled and shared equally!
Another big change this season is that all five players, irrespective of their individual winnings earlier in the game, will now fight it out in Wheel Reveal for a chance to spin the wheel.
Last year over €10 million was won by contestants taking part in Winning Streak, again making it Europe’s Richest Game Show!
Tune in for what promises to be a fun, entertaining show for all the family on Saturday nights this Autumn.

CHRYSANTHEMUM KILLER: The summer 1946 in Athboy, Co. Meath, a young man is pronounced dead after what seems like a street fight … But the death of Larry Higgins, was it accidental? Malicious? or something stranger than fiction? CSÍ – this week investigates the strange case of a murder that never was.
This year is the 75th anniversary of the first settlement of Gaeltacht families in Co. Meath – which founded today’s tightly knit community of Gaeltacht na Mí. Like many small communities Rath Cairn has its darker secrets and one episode in its history that has always intrigued and fascinated Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh, is the story of Dan Tom Taimín Mac Donncha who was accused of murder.
Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh remembers as a child the stories about the case but where the truth began and the fiction ended she never was sure. Turning to the official records in the archives and going back to her home place, the scene of the crime, Bláthnaid reveals what really happened to Larry Higgins. She talks to the family of Dan Tom Taimín, who was sent to prison for a crime that he claimed he never committed. Where does the truth lie? This historical crime story is stranger than fiction. This the strange case of the Chrysanthemum Killer!
