What to watch on TV tonight: Wednesday

Here’s the telly people will be talking about tomorrow.

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

Brendan O’Connor’s Cutting Edge (RTÉ One, 9.35pm)

Brendan is joined by Fiona Looney, George Hook and Emma Dabiri to discuss the week’s events – in typically forthright style. No topic is off the round table and it’s pretty much always guaranteed to be trending over on Twitter. #CuttingEdge

Live UEFA Champions League: Real Madrid v Borussia Dortmund (RTÉ 2, 7.30pm)

A shootout between the two giants for top spot. Both teams have already qualified for the knockout phase, so the pressure should be off and could lead to a free-flowing game. Whoever comes in second will be a treacherous draw for any group winner in the next round.

A Terrible Beauty (RTÉ One, 10.40pm)

Documentary in which Professor Declan Kiberd examines the role that artists and writers had in reinventing Ireland in the late 19th Century, and asks whether the Celtic Revival really was the spark that ignited the revolutionary flame.

Everyone’s talking about… Stephen Hawking got in touch with Ant and Dec about their joke on I’m A Celeb

And he wasn’t offended at all.

Ant and Dec new ITV contract Dominic Lipinski / PA Wire Dominic Lipinski / PA Wire / PA Wire

Firstly, eventual winner Scarlett Moffatt shared with fellow contestants her theory of time travel – and that she’d tried to contact the famous scientist about it before.

Then, at the start of the next show, the presenters called up “Stephen Hawking” and were greeted by an electronic voice mimicking the physicist’s speech-generating device.

After there was a bit of controversy, The Mirror reported today that Hawking actually sent the lads an email. Dec said:

He said he enjoyed her thoughts on the pyramids and enjoyed the sketch that we did in the studio. So that was a highlight.

No harm, no foul then.
