DAILYEDGE.IE ROUNDS UP the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.
Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway (ITV, 9.00pm)
Dec takes on his first hosting gig without his trustee companion Ant following the presenter’s controversial return to rehab in recent weeks. He will have plenty of company though as Stephen Merchant is on duty as the Star Guest Announcer, and Stephen Mulhern hits the streets of Warrington for the latest round of In for a Penny. Plus, Paloma Faith takes to the stage in the End of the Show Show and Irish band The Script are in the studio for Singalong Live. There will also be plenty of surprises as more Places on the Plane are given away, and another lucky player gets the chance to Win the Ads.
Watermelon (TV3, 9.00pm)
Watermelon is one of the Marian Keyes’ earlier books and tonight’s movie on TV3 is the adaption. While it does fall victim to the ‘book being way better than the movie’ cliche, it’s still a charming watch. Anna Friel stars alongside Brenda Fricker and Sean McGinley in this story of a Dublin woman living in London, who is left holding the baby when her doting boyfriend discovers the child he thought was his is actually her ex’s. Tricky situation but with Brenda Fricker as her mammy, no doubt it will all get resolved.

Traders (RTÉ Two, 9.30pm)
