Welcome to TV3 Autumn 2013 / 2014

Welcome to
TV3 Autumn
2013 / 2014
One Introduction
Introduction
Over the past few years TV3 and
3e have been on an amazing
journey. The channels have
maintained strong editorial
identity against a plethora of UK
channels beaming in shows that
offer choice, but little relevance to
our audiences.

Director of Content, TV3 Group

Now is TV3’s chance to shine and deliver on our
mantra of ‘We entertain’. I aim to do this through a
balanced and fresh approach to programme making
coupled with a greater scale in production, through
the use of the Sony HD Studio, all complementing
our brand.
TV3 is already the home of major Saturday night
and Sunday night entertainment, with Ant and Dec’s
Saturday Night Takeaway, X Factor, The Cube,
Graham Norton, Dancing On Ice and Britain’s Got
Talent. I want to build on our reputation for family
entertainment and have already commissioned two
quiz shows for peak time in The Lie and Pressure
Point. Our most ambitious and largest studio piece
to date will be a six-part series starring the world
famous Keith Barry, filmed for Irish and international
audiences in the new TV3 Sony HD Studio.
These are big shows for big audiences. But it doesn’t
stop there. This year we have The Great Irish Bake Off
and Celebrity Apprentice. These two programming
juggernauts will run at the heart of the autumn
schedule and highlight the importance of quality in
our on-going productions.
The TV3 of autumn 2013/2014 will maintain many of
the qualities that have made our channels successful.
The darker side of our society will continue to be seen
in shows like the returning 24 Hours to Kill and new
series like Ireland’s Tiger Raids and Black Widows.
This autumn and in the future I will be commissioning
more home-produced shows and relying less on
acquired programmes. These shows will give an
honest, inclusive reflection of Irish society, shows
like Midwives, Ireland By Night, Travellers In America,
Save Your Money, Long Lost Family Ireland and Can’t
Move? Improve!
For a lot of families though, it can be difficult to
maintain optimism through the recession. I want to
give our audience a more uplifting experience.
I intend to build on TV3’s increasing reputation for
serious independent thinking documentaries. This
year TV3 will transmit series on Prison Families, Sinn
Féin, The Kennedys’ Irish Mafia and At Home with the
Healy Raes.
TV3’s sibling 3e is bigger than Sky 1, TG4 and
Channel 4, and bigger than over 200 digital channels.
It delivers a 15-34 audience in its own sharp and
unique way. This autumn and beyond, I will build on
the 3e brand with home produced exclusive content,
starting with Newsbag - an animated series created
by Brown Bag, the internationally renowned Irish
animation company.
The future for TV3 Group is bright: growing share of
audience, and producing major entertainment shows
with international reach. This year as our mantra
maintains, we plan to entertain... just a whole
lot more!

Prison Families is a documentary series filmed over a six-month period following
the lives of four families as they cope with a family member’s imprisonment, which
often has detrimental consequences for everybody involved. Families say that
they themselves serve a sentence “as bad or worse” than the prisoner’s own. Each
individual or family story will be intercut to reveal family life as it buckles under the
huge strain caused by a relative’s imprisonment. Whether it’s a milkman racing to deliver produce or the road recovery
service rescuing stranded owners and their vehicles, there’s plenty of action
occurring after dark. While these people may lead ordinary lives, employed
in ordinary jobs, their journey through the night-shift can be somewhat extraordinary.

Ireland’s Tiger Raids explores a unique and brutal crime wave that,
incredibly, first appeared on Irish shores. Borrowed from the annals of IRA
warfare, and mirroring the predatory instincts of a tiger stalking its prey,
criminal gangs have shadowed, tracked, then kidnapped senior figures in
financial institutions across the country, before forcing them to hand over
millions. In this eye-opening two-part series we talk to the victims of this
calculated brand of crime and the family members who are inevitably caught
up in the cross-fire.
The compelling series 24 Hours to Kill returns for a fourth season with Dyane
Connor. The show examines a selection of Ireland’s most shocking murders, which
in turn produced some of the most recognised murder trials since the founding of
the State. In 24 Hours to Kill we rewind the clock to relive the hours leading up to
some of Ireland’s most brutal killings, which devastated families and shocked the
Irish public to the core. We retrace the steps of the killers and the movements of
the innocent victims, as we reveal how jealousy, desire, revenge and hatred pushed
them into committing such sinister murders. Some of the convicted murderers
investigated this season include Gary McCrea, David Bourke and Private Sean
Courtney.

Challenging God with
Vincent Browne
6 x 60 mins
Challenging God with Vincent Browne explores the unproven beliefs that are
treated as factual by many religions and the extremes to which some followers have
taken them. Presented by TV3’s Vincent Browne, the programme will challenge the
assumptions of religions and the power of religious beliefs and myths.
With key witness testimony, new interviews and archive footage, GUBU will
provide a firsthand account of the events, which conspired against Ireland’s
most controversial political figure and his party colleagues. With interviews
over the course of the documentary from politician David Andrews, journalist
Peter Murtagh and former Senior Garda Tony Hickey.
Vincent argues over the course of the series a number of topics, from whether
the church is morally tainted by the recent sex scandals, to the role of the church
in the subjugation of women and the prejudice it engenders with regards to
homosexuality. The programme also asks if God has committed crimes against
humanity. If the Old Testament is to be believed, then it would seem that God
perpetrated and incited these crimes. Guests of the show include members of a
number of contrasting religious communities, historians, lecturers and atheists.

Sinn Féin’s transition from armed struggle to mainstream politics will be
charted in this two-part documentary that promises a fascinating insight into
the party. The same leaders of the political wing of Republicanism now sit in
power in the North and are on the threshold of government in the Republic.

they? We meet them at home, in social settings and in the pursuit of political
power.
John F. Kennedy visited Ireland in June 1963, 50 years ago this summer. Hundreds

Amazingly powerful, dynamic and confronting, the hugely successful Australian
drama Wentworth is a modern adaptation of the iconic Prisoner: Cell Block H
series, which pushed the boundaries more than three decades ago.
Coronation Street continues this autumn with
potentially life-changing scenes for a number of
families on the Street. David’s slow burning vendetta
against half-brother Nick comes to the boil. Hayley
and Roy face a turbulent and traumatic journey in the
wake of Hayley’s hospital exploratory surgery.
Elsewhere, Stella and Karl’s wedding results in chaos.
Tina tries to put on a brave face about baby Jake, but
is she tough enough to cope with seeing the little boy
she gave birth to being brought up by someone else?
Finally, Gloria and Eva are stunned with revelations
surrounding Stella’s share in the Rovers Return.
Autumn 2013 will be full of action and revelation in
Emmerdale, as cover ups and deception begin to
unravel. Cain’s got Cameron backed into a corner
and he wants to know what’s going on with him
and Debbie. The police have a new witness to
Gennie’s accident and push Debbie for answers.
Will Cameron’s true colours be revealed about his
involvement in Carl’s murder? Katie just can’t keep
the secret and has to do something to relieve her
guilt. She makes a big decision and packs her bags to
leave the village before Declan carries out his threats,
but will she really leave for good?
We return to Downton Abbey during the mid-twenties
to find Lady Mary mourning her husband Matthew,
who died six months earlier in a tragic car accident.
Matthew had just visited his wife and new baby
George in hospital and was returning to see his family
when his car overturned killing the heir to Downton.
How will Mary cope in the wake of her late husband’s
death, and will there be any eligible bachelors or old
family friends arriving at the Abbey? With a number of
new characters arriving this autumn, an exciting new
era is in sight for Downton Abbey.

the suburbs become Wentworth’s inmate leader without rival?

keeping them on their toes and stoking the fire of
debate. This autumn, the programme will kick-off

same on Midday.
The cases are real. The people are real. The rulings
are final. This is Judge Judy. Sharp, entertaining and
political, the unmistakable Judge Judith Sheindlin
continues to hold court as presiding judge on Judge
Judy, bringing her trademark wit and intelligence
to the widely successful half-hour series that takes

He might have his own style of resolving issues,

speak his mind or to have a go at an unresponsive,
defensive guest. He’s a firm believer in solving
any problem by getting it out in the open. An
unconventional agony uncle, Jeremy’s guests
typically include couples, families, and friends
who are concerned about a person or people
close to them with a problem. So lie detectors,
DNA and paternity tests at the ready, let the
chaos recommence!

It was the beginning of a new German era last season as Munich and Dortmund
took the top spots at Wembley, following a German massacre of the Spanish
in the semis. It promises to be an exciting new season in Europe as new
Manchester United boss David Moyes cuts his teeth on the greatest stage in
world football. Once again this autumn, Tuesday nights promise to be tantalising
as the group stage of the UEFA Champions League returns. TV3 has the pick
of Tuesday’s big matches live, with highlights of the night’s other group games.
Manchester United will be looking to avenge last season’s controversial exit
in Fergie’s name, while Chelsea and their prodigal son José Mourinho will be
looking to build on last season’s UEFA Europa League success. Manchester City
and Arsenal will be looking to rebuild as they have continued to strengthen their
squads over the summer. Tommy Martin will be joined by a team of experts to
analyse the action over the course of the season.
The Road to Turin kicks off live on 3e this autumn with the group stage of the
UEFA Europa League. 194 teams will take part in this season’s format of the

Fiorentina and FA Cup Winners and UEFA Europa League debutantes, Wigan
Athletic. TV3 and 3e will be showing the top matches on Thursday evenings,

“Lucky there’s a Family Guy!” The Griffins continue
their animated presence on TV3 this autumn, where
the surreal adventures of Peter and family are sure
to keep us entertained. Peter and his wife Lois have
three kids – the youngest being Stewie, a sadistic
baby obsessed with nuclear physics and world
domination. Chris, like his father, is obese, has a low
IQ and a serious lack of common sense. Meg (voice
of Mila Kunis) desperately tries to be noticed by her
family, but is always coldly forgotten. Their talking
dog Brian keeps baby Stewie in check, while Peter is
off gallivanting with his best buddies Glen Quagmire,
Cleveland Brown and Joe Swanson.

The Belcher family (Bob, Linda, Tina, Gene and

are really delicious and appear to be better than his
rivals’ but when it comes to selling burgers, his kids
aren’t really helpful, as more customers head over
to Jimmy Pesto’s Pizzeria across the street. Bob
and his quirky family have big ideas about burgers,
condiments and sides – but only a few thoughts on
customer service. This season will see Bob substitute
as the home economics teacher at the kids’ school.
Linda goes to her high school reunion, the family will
attempt to create a local Super Bowl advertisement,
and the kids set up a trap for Santa Claus.
3e are delighted to be announcing the arrival of Irish produced Newsbag, a
new animated adult comedy series following Moss, Lenny and Gig, who all
work for ruthless news agency Newsbag, set in Dublin. The show follows the
three lads as they compete to get the best news stories for eccentric and
inappropriate boss Dundee. The animation series is written by Gerard Barrett
who describes it as a mix of South Park and The I.T. Crowd. Accompanied
with a pretty dark sense of humour, this show looks like the beginning of
something remarkable.

American Dad! follows the escapades of Stan
Smith, an extreme right-wing CIA agent dealing with
family life and keeping America safe, all in the most
irrational ways possible. Stan’s wife, Francine has an
unquestionable talent for turning a blind eye to Stan’s
brashness; his 18-year-old daughter Hayley has him
wrapped around her finger, while 14-year-old son, the
nerdy Steve, seems to be on the constant verge of
puberty but can’t quite make sense of the opposite
sex. Roger, the family pet alien often gets involved,
but resents the fact that he’s not allowed to leave
the house.
America’s finest comedy icon Conan O’Brien returns
with a new series of Conan, his hour-long fun filled
late-night talk show. His captivating interviews,
cutting-edge comedy sketches and hilarious
interaction with the audience have made the Emmynominated comedian the show of choice for viewers.
Conan draws material for his magnificent sketches
and eccentric comedy monologues from recent news
stories, political figures and trending topics. With
A-list celebrity interviews and brilliant musical guests,
it is a must watch for those looking for something a
little less ordinary, and for those night owls who are
up a little later!
Gordon Hayden returns to continue his journey across
the internet! Uploaded is back for season 6 where we
can expect the usual array of internet clips. Whether
it’s extreme Russian bungee-jumping, screaming
goats or celebrity bloopers, the internet has become
a haven for the most bizarre things ever caught on film
and Uploaded is here to show you the best of it!
Regarding the opposite sex, they’re on a steep learning curve. In every other
sense, they’re geniuses! Join physicists Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon
Cooper as they ponder black holes, chemical deviations, girls, and other
mysteries of the universe. As the sixth season of The Big Bang Theory kicks
off, Wolowitz is caught in an argument between Bernadette and his mum,
even while he’s in space!
We last left Modern Family when Phil’s mum died. Having left messages for Phil
and each of the Dunphy kids, Claire attempted to get Phil to fulfill his message,
while Alex struggled to figure out what hers meant. Mitchell had tried to help Gloria
out of a legal situation, but things got a little out of hand; Cam befriended a group
of senior citizen women, who he found out are not exactly what they seem, and
Jay reconnected with an old friend, but was shocked to discover she had a few
surprises of her own. Season five of Modern Family promises a return to its best
with an all new look, as the Dunphy family return to 3e.
