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

For example, they hang out with Nathaniel in San Francisco who “waves large amounts of money about to rub followers up the wrong way” and seems like a sound lad.

This documentary originally aired on the BBC last year and follows Becks through an adventure in the Amazon rainforest in Brazil with his childhood friends. Well worth a watch. #IntoTheUnknown
Christmas University Challenge (BBC Two, 8pm)
A special episode tonight sees the traditional Christmas face-off between famous past pupils. Usually a good one to see if you can spot anyone you know and ascertain whether they can keep to the high standards of their younger successors. #UniversityChallenge
