There are two reasons for you to sit in on your sofa this evening: the cold weather and the great shows…
Arctic Tale – RTÉ Two (6:25pm)
This documentary, narrated by Queen Latifah, examines the effects of global warming on Arctic wildlife by focusing on a walrus calf and a polar bear cub. Who doesn’t love baby animals?
X Factor – TV3 (8:20pm)
The contestants take to the stage for the second week of live shows. After last week’s drama, we’re expecting a few jibes between the judges and huge performances from the finalists. Let the games begin!
Meet the Fockers – BBC Three (10:30pm)
More often than not the sequel isn’t as good as the original film but we think Meet the Fockers could actually be better than Meet the Parents. Barbra Streisand and Dustin Hoffman join the cast in this hilarious follow-up.
The Jonathan Ross Show – UTV (10:35pm)
On tonight’s show, host Jonathan talks to comedian David Walliams about his autobiography and chart-topper Ed Sheeran who is also performing.
Mona Lisa Smile – Channel 4 (11:55pm)
This drama sees Julia Roberts play a bohemian art historian who joins a conservative 50s girls’ school. Let’s just say not everyone likes her approach. Also starring Julia Stiles, Kirsten Dunst and Maggie Gyllenhaal.
