Pat Kenny In The Round - UTV Ireland 9pm.
Pat Kenny makes a return to our TV screens in this new programme that will see him interview people in the Round Room of Dublin's Mansion House, which meant they had to spend very little time thinking up a title for the new chat show. Tonight he interviews Tyrone GAA manager Mickey Harte on his outstanding career to date and how he has dealt with the tragic loss of his daughter Michaela while she was on her honeymoon in Mauritius four years ago. God rest her. Tissues at the ready.
Game of Thrones - Sky Atlantic 9pm.
If chatting isn't your thing but death is, you may want to see someone about that, or just turn on GoT for your weekly hit of 'WHAT THE F**K IS HAPPENING? HE DIDN'T DIE IN THE BOOKS... FFS!!!' Tonight's episode sees Jon Snow get himself an unlikely ally while further south, Brienne searches for Sansa.
Benefits Street - Channel 4 9pm.
It has been called 'poverty porn' and accused of aggrandising/ debasing the people who appear on it. Either way, Channel 4 are on to a winner with the show that follows the lives of people who survive on the benefits of the UK government; is that an oxymoron? The new series focuses on those living on Kingston Road, Stockton-on-Tees in the North East of England. *Yes the camera man in that shot is DAMN HOT.

Something's Gotta Give - TG4 9.30pm
Who knew that not ignoring the older generation would be a huge money spinner? Nancy Meyer's that's who. Something's Gotta Give follows the life of aging Lothario Harry Sandborn played by Jack Nicholson who is dating the daughter of an accomplished and complicated playwright, Erica Barry played by Diane Keaton, who is everything that Harry doesn't want in a woman. Guess what happens? Bonus points for Keanu Reeves playing a doctor, the relationship template for Gwyneth and Chris' 'conscious uncoupling' and the colour palate of whites, greys and blacks that frame the movie. Charming.
Set your recorder for: Episodes - BBC2 11.50pm
So, with jobs, life and a need to not go insane from sleep deprivation, you will have to go to bed at some stage but that doesn't mean you have to miss a thing with your handy DVR ready to do your TV bidding. Tonight, the fourth season of Episodes kicks off with Sean and Beverly, the English writing duo both romantically and work-wise, forced to return to LA when their show, Pucks, is picked up for another season. They're not the happiest at the prospect. Matt Le Blanc is great in this role where he plays a version of himself. If you haven't watched it before but are looking for a show that demands little of you, this could be it.
Before turning on your TV, you can listen to me.
