A tough decision tonight.
It’s Friday and if you’re not going out, you actually have some good options to pass the night.
The guests on The Graham Norton Show are right out of the top drawer, but it’s the Late Late Valentine’s Special which guarantees car-crash TV.
It’s a difficult call, so here are the line-ups for both shows to help you make up your mind.
The Late Late Show (RTÉ One at 9:35pm)
Al Porter and Linda Martin
The dynamic (?) duo will perform a “once-off performance of a true classic of the 80s rock ballad genre,” according to the producers of the show.
Linda Martin on the Late Late, what could possibly go wrong?

Deano
The star of last year’s show is back to tell us about his journey of love in the past 12 months. Spoiler: He’s still single.
Sex and Relationship Panel
Breakfast Republic’s Bernard O’Shea, Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh and Snapchat famous James Kavanagh will chat to Tubs about sexual intercourse and how to not lose a guy/girl in ten days.
Ashling Thompson
The Cork woman will chat about how she’s become one of Ireland’s most successful camogie players despite doctors writing off her chances of ever playing again following a car accident.
Crystal Swing and Dickie Rock
If the duet by Al Porter and Linda Martin doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, a Cork family band and a legendary Irish crooner will also be providing some musical entertainment.

All of that and a horny, young audience plied with drink will make it a memorable night.
The Graham Norton Show (BBC One at 10:35pm)
Denzel Washington
Denzel is on to chat about his new movie Fences for which he’s received an Oscar nomination.
The guy is legend and doesn’t make a lot of talk show appearances so we’re looking forward to seeing him.
Jamie Dornan
He’s on to promote his new movie 50 Shades Darker. Let’s hope it’s as entertaining as his appearance on Conan last week.

Whoopi Goldberg
The comedy guest this week is none other than Whoopi Goldberg. Seriously, this must be one of Norton’s all-time great line-ups.
She’s been very outspoken about US President Donald Trump lately so expect that to come up.
