DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.
The X Factor (TV3, 8pm)
Another year, another new series of The X Factor. After last year’s influx of new judges, 2016′s X Factor has gone back to basics – with Louis Walsh, Nicole Scherzinger and Sharon Osbourne all returning to join Simon Cowell on the judging panel. The old gang is back in town. The live shows don’t start until October, so for now just sit back and enjoy (while cringing) at the audition stages.
Saturday Night with Miriam (RTÉ One, 9.50pm)
The last in the series sees Strictly’s Brendan Cole, Pat Shortt, two Irish Paralympians and Deirdre O’Kane all drop in for a chat with Miriam. Also in studio will be some Irish ballroom dancing champions as they try to impress the solo Strictly judge in attendance. Good luck, lads.

The epic biblical drama stars Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Emma Watson, Ray Winstone and Anthony Hopkins. It does exactly what it says on the tin too – telling the tale of Noah’s Ark from the Book of Genesis.
