What to watch on TV tonight: Saturday
DAILYEDGE.IE ROUNDS UP the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.
Michael Collins (RTÉ Two, 9.30pm)
If you’re looking for an injection of much-needed patriotism, look no further than this Liam Neeson flick. Fact-based drama focusing on the life of the Irish radical who rose to prominence after his involvement in the 1916 Easter Rising against British rule. He became a hero to his countryfolk before his single-minded determination to stick to his plans alienated him from his allies. Written and directed by Neil Jordan, and starring Liam Neeson, Julia Roberts, Alan Rickman, Aidan Quinn and Stephen Rea. Expect some dodgy accents, natch.

Oscar-winning drama, starring Michael Keaton, Edward Norton and Emma Stone
