What to watch on TV tonight: Saturday

Here are the shows that’ll be on your Twitter timeline this evening.

Every lunchtime, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.

The People of the Year Awards 2015 (RTÉ One, 9.50pm)

Gráinne Seoige and Aidan Power present the annual round up of local heroes and inspirational stories from around the country. It’ll tug at your heart strings as always – but it could be the perfect watch if you’re tucked up inside.

Doctor Who (BBC One, 8pm)

It’s the good Doctor’s final flourish of the season – and it sounds like it could be epic. The Time Lord engages “in a struggle that will take him to the very end of time itself.” Not a casual relaxing Saturday Saturday for him at all.

Moneyball (RTÉ 2, 9pm)

The baseball movie that doesn’t actually show all that much baseball – which is a bonus if baseball isn’t the most exciting thing in the world to you. Watch Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill verbally pitter-patter their way through Aaron Sorkin’s excellent script in a very enjoyable flick. Perfect when Storm Desmond is blowing a gale outside.

Everyone is talking about… Bill Murray’s Christmas special for Netflix

The star-studded special has been talked about for AGES, and finally it’s arrived.

It seems… interesting

The Guardian described it perfectly:

It’s as if Murray and Coppola decided that they wanted to get a bunch of their friends together in the Carlyle hotel in New York, sing some Christmas songs and do some silly sketches and Netflix was like: “Here, take this money and have fun. Just turn something in by October.”

Sounds GREAT.

Or flick over for…

The Descendants (Channel 4, 12.10am) It’s on late, but it’s the WEEKEND. And it’s a truly excellent movie.

The Mario Rosenstock Show (RTÉ One, 11.40pm) Topical takes on every Irish celebrity you can think of.

Step Brothers (TV3, 9.30pm) Will Ferrell and John C Reilly on fine form. The competition in the movie stakes is at an all time high.

The X Factor (TV3, 8pm) We’re getting to the business end of things now.
