Every lunchtime, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.
Downton Abbey (TV3, 9pm)
Irish viewers get their Downton Abbey fix tonight – in this episode, a dinner party with the politician Neville Chamberlain goes horribly wrong. We won’t say how, but viewers across the pond were certainly shocked by it. #downtonabbey
Magic Mike (Film4, 9pm)
Channing Tatum stars as a man making ends meet as the star performer in an all-male stripping troupe. It’s not as frothy as it seems though, and much darker than the recent sparkly, comedic sequel. Ride it, my pony. #magicmike
Back to the Future Part II (ITV2, 6.50pm)
We’re surprised that the only TV channel to pay homage to Back to the Future Day is ITV2 – if you’re at home for the day, they’re showing the first film at 4.30pm. The sequel is the focus of today’s festivities though, and features the famous hoverboard and self-tying sneakers. #backtothefuture
Everybody’s talking about… Sherlock
The hype for long-awaited Sherlock Christmas special is growing and growing with the announcement that the 90-minute episode will be shown in cinemas around the world.
The special, which is rumoured to be set in 1895, will see Sherlock and Watson fighting some old-timey crime.
Or flick over for…

- The Apprentice (BBC1, 9pm) The candidates test their negotiation skills by buying items at the lowest possible price.
- Grand Designs (Channel 4, 9pm) What will Kevin be exasperated about tonight? We’ll have to watch and see.
