Every lunchtime, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.
Ivan’s Celebrity Pub Crawl (TV3, 9pm)
Former politician turned broadcaster Ivan Yates goes for a few pints in four Dublin pubs to look back over 2015. He’s not flying solo though, as he’s joined by a host of celebrities to get their musings on the last year, including Eamon Dunphy, Lucinda Creighton, former rugby player Stephen Ferris, musician Eleanor McEvoy and a host of others. It could be gas, especially if the pints flow. #CelebrityPubCrawl
Baz, the Lost Muslim (RTÉ 2, 10.05pm)
Baz Ashmawy continues his journey into what his lapsed Muslim faith means to him. Tonight he meets a young journalist who could be categorised as a ‘mipster’ – a fashion-conscious Muslim hipster. We’re used to seeing him with his mammy at this stage, but this has the potential to be just as entertaining, if a little less craic. #TheLostMuslim
Love Actually (ITV 2, 9pm)
Just in case you were one of the only people in the country who missed out on Love Actually on RTÉ last week, now there’s another chance to catch the modern Christmas classic tonight – just in time for Christmas. Sure, you definitely know it’s Christmas when you watch that Emma Thompson scene and get annoyed by yer man who heads to America. #LoveActually
Everyone’s talking about… a potential Father Ted reference at the end of Star Wars
Could it be?
JJ Abrams’s new Star Wars film, The Force Awakens, ends with a circling, aerial shot of two robe-clad figures – one distinctly priestly – greeting each other atop a remote, verdant island.
Sound familiar? People seem to think it’s very Father Ted-esque.
It might be a stretch to say the least, but any similarities with Father Ted will be seized upon by a nation. We must have a link.
