What to watch on TV tonight: Sunday

Here are the shows that will 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 Meaning of Life with Gay Byrne (RTÉ One 10.35pm)

Hozier is in the hotseat tonight, and will more than likely be facing down some classic Gay frowning as he tries to answer philosophical questions in an honest manner. As the Stephen Fry interview and other celebrity appearances have shown, The Meaning of Life more often than not gives you a completely different insight into a star’s personality. It should be quality. #TheMeaningOfLife

Clean Break (RTÉ One, 9.30pm)

The brand new series has been heralded as the replacement for Love/Hate – but such pressure probably shouldn’t be heaped on it at this early stage. The four-part series is from the same production team though, and covers a tiger kidnapping in Wexford gone wrong. Expect good production values and high drama – people will be keeping an eye on this one. #cleanbreak

Rugby World Cup Live: Ireland vs Romania (TV3, 4.30pm)

Ireland’s second match at the Rugby World Cup sees them take on Romania at Wembley stadium, with kick-off at 4.45pm. Make sure you know the lyrics to the Fields of Athenry and put on anything you own that is green. This should be great craic. #IRLvROM #COYBIG

Everyone’s talking about: Ray D’Arcy’s start to his prime time telly career

Ray D'Arcy Show Andres Poveda Andres Poveda

All people are chatting about this Sunday is how they thought Ray D’Arcy got on during his first night on RTE One’s Saturday night slot. It was all go backstage:

If you happened to miss it, you can catch it over on the RTÉ Player right now and judge for yourself.

Or just check out what everyone else thought in real time. There were plenty of opinions, jokes and musings on how Ray fared being back on the big stage.

Or flick over for…

  • Uncle Buck (ITV2, 7pm) The classic John Candy comedy is on tonight. Watch out for all the shenanigans (you know you love them).
  • The X Factor (TV3, 8pm) The contestants face the next stage of boot camp as the judges whittle them down again on the way to, eh, stardom.
  • The American President (RTÉ 2, 9.30pm) As romcoms set in the White House go, this is actually surprisingly good. Classic early Aaron Sorkin writing, too.
  • Star Trek (E4, 8pm) The first of the JJ Adrams reboot of Star Trek is excellent, and is definitely worthy of a Sunday night in.
