Here’s what’s on the box tonight.

With a weather warning in place, it’s a good thing that The Graham Norton Show has a brilliant lineup this evening. The Late Late Show is also on.

Additionally, if you’re in the mood for a film at the cinema, The Big Reviewski team have previewed all the weekend’s big releases too.

However, if you fancy staying in and watching a film on TV, here’s what’s on…

Ted 2 – 9pm on E4

The one when Ted went all political and went to Washington. Nowhere close to being as funny as the first one, but still has some laughs.

Assassins – 9pm on ITV4

Professional hit-man Robert Rath wants to fulfill a few more contracts before retiring but unscrupulous ambitious newcomer hit-man Miguel Bain keeps killing Rath’s targets.

Stallone and Banderas starring with Richard Donner directing. It should have been better but it’s grand.

Sinister – 10.45pm on Horror Channel

Great demon, great death sequences, great ending. A treat for horror fans.

Brawl in Cell Block 99 – 10.50pm on Film4

A former boxer-turned-drug runner lands in a prison battleground after a deal gets deadly.

It’s very violent, a tad too long, but definitely worth a watch.

Mr and Mrs Smith – 11.35pm on Channel 4

It’s clear that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are having a blast throughout Doug Liman’s enjoyable actioner where a husband and wife play rival assassins tat have to kill each other.

The Danish Girl – 11.50pm on RTÉ1

A fictitious love story loosely inspired by the lives of Danish artists Lili Elbe and Gerda Wegener. Lili and Gerda’s marriage and work evolve as they navigate Lili’s groundbreaking journey as a transgender pioneer.

Features and Oscar-winning turn from Alicia Vikander and an excellent performance from Eddie Redmayne too.

Calvary – 12.05am on BBC2

Ok, you either love it, or hate it.

After he is threatened during a confession, a good-natured priest (Brendan Gleeson) must battle the dark forces closing in around him.

LISTEN: You Must Be Jokin’ with Aideen McQueen – Faith healers, Coolock craic and Gigging as Gaeilge
