A rare glimpse into the lives of 'The Borrowers'

We've all been stuck for a few quid over the years and one of the best places to get a loan in Ireland is your local Credit Union. They're only delighted to CU there.

Now, in what is a fascinating concept, RTÉ have produced a new show that brings us a fly-on-the-wall account of what goes on in the Credit Union loan office.

Called 'The Borrower', there's everything from a father and son duo looking to get funds for a new car - to a man who needs eye-saving surgery.

It starts this Tuesday, April 16th, at 8:30pm on RTÉ One.

Maria's Telly takes a look at rest of the best on the box this week:

Trust Me - Season 2, Tuesday 16th, BBC One @9pm 

Forget Jodie Whittaker in season 1 - this is a whole new concept with a brand new cast. The medical thriller's plot centres around injured soldier, Jamie McCain, who is stuck in hospital after being left temporarily paralysed. With people dying around him, Jamie's suspects the doctors are killing patients. But how can he prove it?

The Moominvalley - Good Friday, Sky One @5:30pm

Yes, the cute looking hippopotamus-type cartoon characters are back with a rejuvenated image for 2019. If you're not familiar with creatures, here's a look at an older version of them:

Moominpappa, Moominmamma, Moomintroll & co return in full 3D HD with lots of fun and educational messages - perfect for family time at home.

And Maria's Movie of the Week is this little gem:
