In the words of that old ad, we're so excited and we just can't hide it, because the Bank Holiday weekend is FINALLY upon us, and what better way to kick it off than with a spot of Friday night telly?
There's no end of entertainment on the box this evening, what with the rugby taking over several channels at the same time, Rob Brydon and the boys making a comeback on the Beeb, Oliver Stone offering up a rather important history lesson, Ty Burrell bringing the house down on Modern Family, and the mystery of The Ice Cream Girls finally being unravelled.
Tonight though, our eyes will be well and truly fixed on the chat shows, so we've put together this little Chat Show Roulette special (is Chat Roulette still even a thing?) to help you decide which Friday night favourite to watch this evening.
1. The Late Late Show RTE One: 9.35pm
If you're in the mood for all things Irish then tonight's Late Late Show will be right up your street. We're hearing that Cork comic book artist Will Sliney, Bressie, and Jim Breen will be joining Tubbs on d'telly. We've also heard Ryan will be talking to Tom Curran, partner of Marie Fleming (who lost her appeal for the right to decide when she should die earlier this week), and rumour has it Voice of Ireland winner Keith Hanley will make his Late Late debut. We're not 100 per cent sure about that one though, so don't blame us if you're disappointed. Plus, Ireland's Eurovision hopeful Ryan Dolan will be in studio to perform Only Love Survives and talk to Tubbs before he heads off to Malmo.
2. Alan Carr: Chatty Man Channel 4: 10.00pm
We're used to Alan Carr pulling in all the big names, but he's definitely playing second fiddle to our Graham tonight (more on that in a minute). Mr Carr's joined by Strictly staple Bruce Forsyth, for what we're sure will be an err, interesting interview. He's also joined by the impossibly funny Jo Brand, Alan Partridge himself, Steve Coogan, and funnyman Seann Walsh. The bit of music comes courtesy of X Factor winners Little Mix, who are back in town to perform their new single How Ya Doin? All in all, a solid enough line-up.
3. The Graham Norton Show BBC One: 10.35pm
We're not going to lie, BBC One is where it's at this evening lads. Our Graham has not one, but TWO men of the moment on the sofa this eve, as he's joined by Chris Pine and Benedict Cumberbatch, who are in town to talk Star Trek Into Darkness. As if that wasn't enough, Sex And The City star Kim Cattrall joins the lads, and UK Eurovision hopeful Bonnie Tyler is in to perform her err, song for Europe (non-stop Eurovision on the telly this eve eh?). We're rather excited to see how far Graham and Kim will be willing to go: If that there snap of Cumberbatch is anything to go by, we're guessing we're in for a laugh...
