What to watch on TV tonight: Thursday

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.

First Dates (Channel 4, 9pm) 

The highlight of many a Thursday evening. Tonight, Hugo from last week is back to try and impress Olympia, while Steven (who’s hoping to meet someone who’ll get along with his granny) woos knitter Anna. Love. It. #firstdates

Pitbull: Reality Bites (RTÉ2, 9.30pm)

Sadly, not a documentary about the rapper Pitbull, but about the world of so-called ‘dangerous dogs’. Do pitbulls deserve their reputation? We’ll hear from a cross-section of dog owners. #realitybites

Dirty Dancing (3e, 11pm)

You know the story. Naive teenager Baby (Jennifer Grey) steps in when Patrick Swayze’s dancing partner has to pull out of a competition. And the rest is history. #dirtydancing

Everybody’s talking about… The Late Late Show

2013 Ireland's Deaf and Hard of Hearing 'Hidden Hearing Heroes Awards' PA WIRE PA WIRE

Tomorrow night’s show is a country music special. Prepare yourselves. Guests include our fallen Strictly star Daniel O’Donnell, Big Tom (Big fecking Tom, lads!), Nathan Carter, Declan Nerney and Mike Denver.

Guys. Guys. GUYS. This is either going to be amazing, or completely terrible. Either way, we’re watching.
