Norton

Planning a quiet evening? We’ve got you covered.

If you have any sense, you’ll be well stuck into Evil Genius on Netflix right around now (yes, it is *that* good) but there are those of you who may wish to take a break from all the bleakness brought about by the Duplass Brothers’ brilliant documentary.

With that in mind, here are the line-ups for tonight’s Late Late and Graham Norton shows.

The Late Late Show

  • Jason Corbett’s Family – Jason’s death at the hands of wife Molly Martens and her father Thomas Martens shocked both Ireland and the US, making headlines around the world. On Friday night, in their first major Irish television interview since the murder trial Tracey Corbett-Lynch, along with siblings Wayne Corbett and Marilyn Corbett, will discuss the terrible events that lead to Jason’s death, the trauma of the subsequent trial for his family and how they are doing now that his killers are behind bars.
  • My Trans Life – The documentary gives an intimate portrait of young Irish transgender people on their journey to transition. On Friday night, viewers will meet teenager Luke O’Reilly Kane and his mam Maura and Nicky Manning as they share the story of how they realised their true selves and the struggles they have encountered since coming out as trans.
  • Majella O’Donnell – Discusses life with Daniel.
  • Ian McKinley – The former Leinster player was forced to retire from rugby after an eye injury left him unable to play.
