Sofa Watch: DJ Calum and hype-man Jackson are back in the mix tonight

All you need to know about your chat show options tonight.

AS ANOTHER FRIDAY night rolls around, a bit of light banter might help to break up the monotony.

With the darker evenings, there’s no better night to sit on the couch and enjoy some quality chat shows, so here’s all you need to know about your options tonight.

  • The Late Late Show, RTÉ One, 9.35pm

Back to regular scheduling programming this week, but for Toy Show fans you’ll be glad to hear that breakout stars DJ Calum and his hype-man Jackson are back with Ryan tonight.

The brothers have been inundated with offers since last Friday when they stole the show during their two appearances.

If you missed last week’s Toy Show you can catch up on the best moments here.

The Republic of Ireland’s women’s football team made history on Tuesday night with an 11-0 win over Georgia at Tallaght Stadium, putting their World Cup qualification bid back on track

Ciara Grant, Saoirse Noonan, Denise O’Sullivan and Savannah McCarthy will join Ryan in the studio later to reflect on their record-breaking win.

Westlife will also be live in-studio to perform their latest single Starlight of their new album Wild Dreams. Shane, Mark, Nicky and Kian will be chatting about next year’s stadium tour and looking back on their 22-year long career.

English singer-songwriter Tom Grennan, whose family hails from Ballycumber Co Offaly, will also provide some musical relief this evening. He’ll be performing his hit song Little Bit of Love.

And on the anniversary of her double lung transplant, writer and activist Orla Tinsley will be chatting to Ryan about having received the gift of life from an American donor.

Orla will also be highlighting the realities of life for people living on the donor transplant list and why it’s so important for the organ transplant programme to run successfully in Ireland.

  • The Graham Norton Show, BBC One NI, 10.45pm

Over on the BBC, stars of the highly anticipated Spider-Man: No Way Home, Tom Holland and Zendaya, will be joining Graham ahead of the film’s release on 15 December.

Also on the red chairs tonight: Henry Cavill, on the returning to his Netflix series The Witcher; and actor Gugu Mbatha-Raw, talking about the new BBC series The Girl Before.

Music tonight is from Little Mix, who perform their single Between Us.

    Wow… bit strong surely folks calling Sinéad a “nutcase”. She’s one of our best musical exports, someone who’s been very outspoken (and absolutely correct in my view) in her opinions on the church and child abuse etc. down through the years, and she’s just looking to have a bit of fun and have a chat about sex… where’s the harm in that?

    Are you asking me, Margaret? Because the answer is simple. It’s a completely different situation to my personal life, which neither I nor “my woman”, as you call her, will be discussing here or on air. Sinéad O’Connor is single – she has chosen to talk openly about her sexuality and about sex. That’s her choice. Again – where’s the harm in it?

    Sinead and Niall seem to be stuck in the wrong decade. Irish reluctance discuss sex? Appropriate perhaps 30 years ago. Move with the times folks.

    to be honest niall no i am not really asking you about your personal life however i was just curious as to how you would reply and you have, just as i knew you would. respecting ones desires and wants in the bedroom is both personal and private yet us irish women are told or questioned by ye are we still living in the dark ages because we dont want to broadcast how horny we are or not??? helloooo but you and the other fella are like two little boys thats after discovering you have two little toys and ye want the know how from women as in how to use them rightly, respect for other women as you have for your own is all i can say.. all that said, cheerio now and do have a nice day :-)

    Sinead has the courage to put her head above the parapet – and see what happens – how cruel we Irish can be. Repressed? Absolutely YES, and it’s not only with sex. Freedom of thought in general is what ‘s missing, from some of the comments above . . .
