DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.
Irish Rugby – What We Did Last Summer (RTÉ One, 10.15pm)
Fly-on-the-wall documentary following the Irish rugby team’s tour of South Africa this summer, when they recorded a first-ever victory over the Springboks on South African soil. They might not have taken the series, but this promises to show us the inside story on what the lads get up to on an international tour. And we can just bask in the glory of their subsequent win over New Zealand.
The Apprentice (BBC One, 9pm)
This episode marks the midway point of the series – and both Irish contestants are still in the hunt for the cash. Tonight, the teams have to purchase nine items at bargain prices and sell them on for profit. They’ll be working through the night as well, the poor lambs.
12 Years a Slave (Film4, 9pm)
Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender, Benedict Cumberbatch and Brad Pitt star in the harrowing, Oscar-winning movie that tells the true story of a free black man being sold into slavery in pre-Civil War America.
Everyone’s talking about… South Park had to immediately rewrite their post-election episode in the aftermath of the Trump win
And they got it done:
It all happened so quickly, and the production team had to go into overdrive to make a new episode, as The Independent in the UK reports:
Due to the result, the episode’s angle was completely changed, and given the new title “Oh, Jeez,” the catchphrase of Mr. Garrison – the show’s version of Donald Trump.
They weren’t expecting that:

“Women can be anything – except for President.”
It summed up a lot of people’s reactions:
