An eclectic mix.
Dry January is over, so if you fancy relaxing with a bottle of wine in front of the TV, here’s who is on both couches tonight.
The Late Late Show
Derval O’Rourke
One of Ireland’s most respected and decorated athletes will be popping in for a chat about life since she stepped off the track. She’ll also be giving her views on the ongoing problems with doping in athletics.
We wonder if she’ll also be discussing the events of Rio 2016?
Gail O’Rorke
In case you’re not familiar, she was the first person in Ireland to be prosecuted for assisting suicide and was acquitted last year.
Ms O’Rorke will be disclosing the details about being put on trial for attempting to help her friend, Bernadette Forde, travel to a Swiss euthanasia clinic to end her life.
Julian Benson, Loraine Barry and Brian Redmond
The Dancing with the Stars judges will be testing Ryan’s twinkle toes with a few key moves. They’ll be giving viewers the lowdown on the celebs impressing the most and who is still very far from getting 10s.
Sinéad Kane
The Cork woman made history when she became the first visually-impaired athlete to complete the World Marathon Challenge – seven marathons in seven continents in seven days.
Sheep.
Yes, they’re baa-aa-ck!
Once again, sheep will be making an appearance in this year’s Late Late Show Enterprise Special.
Elsewhere…
Sligo artist Arlene McPadden’s work brings a whole new twist to taxidermy. She’ll be introducing viewers to the fine art of “rogue taxidermy”, the creation of sculptures using the traditional method of preserving animal’s bodies through taxidermy
Music will be provided by Jimmy Buckley and Celtic Woman.
The Graham Norton Show
Andrew Garfield
The star of The Social Network and The Amazing Spider-Man was fantastic in Mel Gibson’s Oscar-nominated WW2 drama, Hacksaw Ridge.
Garfield also had a memorable end to 2016 when he got to work with Martin Scorsese on Silence.
Annette Benning
There’s going to be more Oscar talk on the couch because her new film, 20th Century Women, has also been nominated for an Oscar, Best Original Screenplay.
With a career that includes the likes of Regarding Henry, The American President and American Beauty, we’re bound to get a few good anecdotes.
Harriet Harman
Things will be taking a political turn as the lawyer and Labour Party politician will inevitably be talking about her new memoir which details the culture of sexism that exists in Westminster.
Asa Butterfield
The actor has been a busy man of late. He has two new films to promote, The Space Between Us and Journey’s End.
Music will be provided by Elbow.
LISTEN: You Must Be Jokin’ with Aideen McQueen – Faith healers, Coolock craic and Gigging as Gaeilge
