Pick of the night: The Hungerford Massacre: Incredible True Crime, TV3, 9.00pm
Killing sprees, although terribly tragic, are massive public interest stories. This one-hour programme recalls the story of Michael Ryan whose shooting rampage resulted in the deaths of 16 people and injured a further 15, before he turned the gun on himself.
Movie pick: The Butcher Boy, TG4, 10.00pm
You can always rely on the native Irish speaking station for the odd classic. Brendan Behan’s black comedy comes to life through Eamonn Owens, Stephen Rea and Milo O’Shea. We’ve all seen it but it’s been a while. Get out the “cushtard creams”.

Today JOE has mostly been feeling… like kicking himself.
Let’s not beat about the bush. Excuse the pun. But all this talk of a porn star getting down to business with a GAA player has sent the JOE team into overdrive.
We’re all asking the same question about Tanya Tate’s Sex Tour of Ireland, aren’t we?
Why didn’t I hear about it when they were looking for 30 Irish men for a bit of nookie in front of the camera?
Former Wexford hurler Greg Jacob was certainly on the ball when they went in search of participants. JOE salutes you Greg. Quick thinking.

Video gamers: Get some exercise.
The findings of recent tests undertaken on young video gamers are startling.
The reactions and mental skills of obsessed gamers are way above average however fitness levels are alarmingly low.
According to Dr Dominic Micklewright, excessive game play “could have long-term health implications such as an increased risk of heart diseaseâ€.
JOE’s advice comes with your health in mind. Get out and don’t turn into a 25-year-old with the physical condition of an 80-year-old. All of you gamers may have the psychological abilities to equal top athletes but allow your bedroom to become a crypt.
The gym is an option. Training with Mike McGurn has plenty of advice for you to get that body back in shape.
