8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown Christmas Special (Channel 4, 10.10pm)
There’s a lot to digest in the title of this show, we’ll grant you that. This year’s 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown festive addition features our own (well, he’s Irish like, we don’t actually own the deeds to him or anything) David O’Doherty, Katherine Ryan and Johnny Vegas.
Iron Man 2 (RTÉ 2, 8.45pm)
The sequel (duh) to Iron Man. It sees Tony Stark facing pressure from all sides to relinquish his technology while also fighting the evil Russian scientist Ivan Vanko. Interesting sidenote: Mr Jennifer Aniston (and cousin to Louis) Justin Theroux wrote the script.
Everybody’s talking about… #TopGear
