What to watch on TV tonight: Wednesday
EVERY WEEKDAY lunchtime, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.
The Great Irish Bake-Off (TV3, 9pm)
TV3′s Irish franchise of UK cake-baking phenomenon comes back for a second slice. It’s the first in the new series, judged by Paul Kelly and Biddy White Lennon.

The first part airs tonight and we’re reasonably confident that it will contain hilarious moments. #mcbusted
