The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists
RTÉ One, 6.35pm
Directed by British animation legend and Aardman co-founder Peter Lord and based on Gideon Defoe’s cult novel series, The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists is a delirious high-seas romp starring Hugh Grant as the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain, who navigates his salty crew on a perilous mission to Victorian London to aid a young Charles Darwin voiced by David Tennant and to win the coveted Pirate of the Year award. With a pirate-hating Queen Victoria, a very unusual parrot and a monkey butler in the mix you know you can count on plenty of laughs and chaotic family fun along the way.
