What to watch on TV tonight: Saturday

Here are the shows that will be on your Twitter timeline later.

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

The Saturday Night Show (RTÉ One, 9.40pm)

We’ve had an interesting run with Brendan O’Connor. After all, he’s overseen some of the most talked about moments in Irish television of recent years — Pantigate, Pussy Riot, Pingate. Tonight, The Saturday Night Show’s run draws to a close as O’Connor chats to Blur’s Alex James, Oliver Callan, Dylan McGrath and John Lyons. Will Brendan shed a tear as he bids farewell? Only one way to find out. #satnightshow 

The John Bishop Show (BBC One, 9.45pm)

Comedian John Bishop launches his brand new variety show tonight. The show is set to feature a host of international comics and musical acts every week. This week, Bishop presents Trevor Noah, James Acaster and Felicity Ward. Paul Weller and Beardyman, menawhile, will provide the tunes.

The Woman in Black (Channel 4, 9pm)

Avoiding going out until tomorrow night, but looking for a bit of a thrill? The Woman in Black stars Daniel Radcliffe as a young doctor who moves to a new village and discovers that the town is being haunted by a ghost known as The Woman in Black. Properly spooky.

Everyone’s talking about… George Hook and The Late Late Show

It was… something. (DailyEdge.ie)
