DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.
The Tommy Tiernan Show (RTÉ One, 10.15pm) Brace yourselves. Tommy’s new chat show is filmed in the same studio as the Late Late – but that’s where the comparison ends. Neither Tommy nor the audience know who the guests will be from week to week. There will be three per night and the show will also have a bit of stand-up and sketch comedy. We’ll see you on the other side.
Inglourious Basterds (RTÉ 2, 9.30pm)
Quentin Tarantino’s wartime epic can be enjoyed countless times over, with Brad Pitt, Melanie Laurent, Diane Kruger, Michael Fassbender and an Oscar-winning Christoph Waltz leading a stellar cast. “We in the killing Nazi business and, cousin, business is a-booming!”
Brooklyn Nine-Nine (E4, 9pm)
The start of the brand new series hits E4 tonight. Jake and Holt adjust to their new lives in Florida under the Witness Protection Program, all the while knowing that Jimmy `the Butcher’ Figgis remains on the loose.
Everyone’s talking about… Father Ted
And how 100 British comedians named it in their top five all-time sitcoms list.
Not bad.
As The Telegraph reports, Fawlty Towers, Blackadder, I’m Alan Partridge and The Office rounded out the list. Not bad company to be keeping.
Or flick over for…
- Thank GAA It’s 2016 (RTÉ 2, 8pm) Special programme looking back at the story of the championship summer from last year.
- Gladiator (Film4, 9pm) Admit it, you might be tempted to turn this on for the 178th time.
