What ya reckon?

It’s the bank holiday weekend, so a lot of people will be out ‘n about celebrating this fine occasion.

However, for those of you who fancy delaying the self-inflicted damage for a day or two, then this might be of interest.

Let’s see what both couches have on offer tonight.

The Late Late Show

Joe Schmidt

Fresh off the back of Ireland’s crushing defeat to Argentina in the World Cup quarter-final, it will be really interesting to hear what the Irish manager has to say about his side’s performance and what his thoughts are on the future.

Saoirse Ronan

Academy Award-nominated actress Saoirse Ronan will be popping into the studio for a chat. The Dubliner will be talking about her highly anticipated film, Brooklyn, which has been creating a bit of Oscar buzz.

Daniel O’Donnell

The Late Late Show has a special theme tonight – country music. So who better to appear then our very own wee Daniel himself. O’Donnell will be performing as well as giving his first major interview since being voted off of Strictly Come Dancing.

The Graham Norton Show

Christoph Waltz

Joining him will be his co-star and two-time Oscar winner Christoph Waltz, who is making his sofa debut. The German-Austrian appears as Franz Oberhauser in the new flick and we can’t wait to see The Django Unchained star’s reaction to the red chair stories.

Naomie Harris

Joining the two lads will be Miss Moneypenny herself, Naomie Harris. The Pirates of the Caribbean actress will reprise her role as Eve Moneypenny in Spectre, having played the same character in Skyfall.

Sam Smith

Finally, no Bond cast would be complete without the official Bond tune, which British superstar Sam Smith will perform live on the show, as the musical guest. Writing’s on the Wall has shot up the UK charts since its release, so it will be great to hear live.
