The days are getting colder, the nights are getting longer…
A night in, in front of the telly, is getting more and more appealing the close we get to the beginning of winter.
We take a look at what’s on the box this Friday evening in order to help you decide. That’s right, it’s time for Tubridy vs Norton!
The Late Late Show
John Halligan
Controversial Waterford TD John Halligan will be joining Ryan to discuss the impact of this week’s budget which saw taxes stay steady, but also has precipitated a likely increase in house prices following the introduction of a “help-to-buy” scheme for first-time home buyers.
The Hairy Bikers
Dave Myers and Si King, known collectively as the Hairy Bikers, will be on the show to discuss lighter matters such as their travel-cum-cookery show, and what inspired them to devote a whole cookbook to the chicken and egg.
Kathleen Watkins
In a true blast from the past, Tubs will also be joined by Kathleen Watkins – the first face ever seen on Irish television. She’ll be talking about her new book and her life with husband, the broadcasting legend Gay Byrne.
Oliver Callan
Comedian and impressionist Oliver Callan will also be offering his voice on Budget 2017, or rather, the voices of many other people.
The Riptide Movement
Music will be provided by Dublin rock band The Riptide Movement, as well as Donna Taggart.
The Graham Norton Show
The Cork native has a far more Irish show than usual this week, with two of his compatriots on the couch. Funnyman Chris O’Dowd will join Graham to talk about his new TV series Mascots that will be coming to a Netflix near you this month.
Mullingar man Niall Horan will also be on the show to talk about his solo career, new single and hopefully his beef with Simon Cowell.
Lastly, Graham will also be chatting to Hollywood stars Amy Addams and Jeremy Renner about their hotly anticipated sci-fi movie Arrival.
On the red sofa this week! @Renner4Real, @BigBoyler, #AmyAdams and @NiallOfficial – tune in on Friday at 10.35pm on @BBCOne #TheGNShow pic.twitter.com/1EuN68qALp
