True crime drama at its best
Litvinenko
This August
Starring David Tennant, this four-part drama is based on the true story of the police investigation into the poisoning of the former Russian spy, Alexander Litvinenko. In November 2006, Litvinenko, a former KGB officer, is dying in a London hospital - poisoned by a mysterious radioactive substance. As police are summoned to take his statement, Litvinenko points his finger directly at the Russian President, Vladimir Putin. Litvinenko's death a few days later sparks an investigation into a chemical attack on the streets of London and a ten-year investigation between Britain and Russia to find justice for his murder. This is a true-crime drama at its absolute best.

Our Love Island love in!
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us this week for our exclusive Love Island Brunch in Macken House, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. It was a great morning as we got the inside scoop on Ireland life from Ex-Islanders Tasha & Andrew, and what they really thought of this year's Islanders - from the game players to the Showmancers, nothing was off the table for discussion.
It was all done to celebrate Virgin Mobile's sponsorship of the Show across Virgin Media Television. Check out some of the pics from the morning below!
