What to watch on TV tonight: Christmas Eve

Here are the shows that’ll be on your Twitter timeline this evening.

Every lunchtime, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.

Mrs Brown’s Boys Christmas Special (RTÉ One, 9pm)

IT’S MRS BROWN. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you love yourself a bit of Brendan O’Carroll, you’ll be delighted. This Christmas, Mrs Brown wants some peace and quiet. Is she going to get it? Not likely. #mrsbrownsboys

Gravity (RTÉ One, 9.45pm)

Fancy some mild motion sickness on this festive evening? Sandra Bullock and George Clooney spinning around in space should do it! All jokes aside, Gravity is visually stunning and will leave you right on the edge of your seat. #gravity

Father Ted Christmas Special (RTÉ2, 10.50pm)

Channel 4 tried to get the jump on us by showing it last night, but we all know you’re supposed to watch it on Christmas Eve before you head up to bed. It’s just the rule. #fatherted

Everybody’s talking about: The Jump

Channel 4 / YouTube

Yes, the ski jump competition that launched a thousand bizarre celebrity reality shows (Z-listers doing sheepdog trials, anyone) is coming back.

What’s more, our own Brian McFadden is rumoured to be one of the contestants. Brian. Come along now.
