It's the last last weekend in November folks, so we all know what that means - your last weekend where you can rest your liver and your wallets ahead of the debauchery that lies ahead in the December festivities. So put your feet up and take a look at all the TV you just can't miss this weekend...

FRIDAY

The Late Late Toy Show
RTE 1: 9.35pm

It is finally here! The most wonderful time of year officially kicks off tonight, for as soon as Tubbers takes to that stage in his wooly jumper, it is CHRISTMAS folks, there will be no denying it any more. Will Ryan arrive with a musical number like he did last year? Will a kid far older than his years get surprised by Robbie Keane? Whatever happens, we can guarantee there will be toys aplenty, everything will be given to everyone in the audience, and there will be Billie Barry kids.... many, many Billie Barry kids.

The Graham Norton Show
BBC1: 11.05pm

If all the Toy Show Christmas cheer is getting too much for you, then you can head on over to Graham Norton where he has a lovely little couch lined up for you. The stars of Paddington will be in for a chat, which include Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman, Bafta-winning British star Julie Walters and Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville, who you might remember was part of that unbelievably funny couch last season with Bill Murray and Matt Damon. No sign of the actual Paddington bear though, that fella is clearly letting fame go to his head. Oh and music will by Take That, who are now a three piece, performing their new single 'These Days'.

Rugbai Beo - Ulster v Munster
TG4: 7.10pm

After our unbelievable hat-trick of wins in the autumn internationals, it's time for the Irish lads to return to their provinces for some PRO12 action. Munster will take on Ulster tonight in Thomond Park where both teams will be anxious to secure a win in order to stand a chance of finishing ahead of the Ospreys, who are currently looking pretty good at the top of the standings. (Kick-off 7.35pm)

SATURDAY

The Inbetweeners Movie
Channel 4: 9pm

The second installment of The Inbetweeners movies was just out in August which saw the lads head Down Under, but if you preferred their antics in Crete, you can re-watch it all again tonight!
Simon, Will, Jay and Neil all head off on their holiers for the right of passage end of exams piss-up, hoping to experience the trip of a lifetime, as so many do. However, as is often the case with these lads, things don't exactly go to plan, with some downright hilarious moments and a few dodgy dance moves along the way too.

Bord Gais Energy Irish Book Awards 2014
RTE 1: 11.05pm

If you enjoy books, and are particularly fond of the often pointless celebs who write them, why not watch the Irish Book Awards! Ah don't worry, they are not all by pointless celebs. Readers, writers, booksellers, publishers and librarians all came together to cast their votes and select the winners across 12 categories, which were announced on Wednesday night. Some of those vying for a prize were Brian O'Driscoll, Roy Keane, Paul Galvin, Graham Norton and Majella O'Donnell. Highlights of the show will be presented by Keelin Shanley and Evelyn O'Rourke.

Dancing at Lughnasa
RTE 2: 9.00pm

Meryl Streep can do no wrong as an actress as we all know, but we like to think that taking on the role of Irish lady Kate Mundy was her most challenging yet, mainly because she is one of the few who managed not to butcher the accent. Based on the Brian Friel play, it follows the story of a mother raising her little boy amongst her four sisters in 1930s Ireland whose lives are thrown into turmoil when their elderly ailing brother comes home to die. Along with that, the little boy has his first encounter with his father, who is off to fight in the Spanish Civil War. Also starring Michael Gambon, and Catherine McCormack, it's quality viewing for a Saturday night flick.

SUNDAY

The Fall
RTE1: 9.30pm

While we have all been terrified of Paul Spector from the word go, the one person who always seemed fearless when it came to this serial killer was Detective Stella Gibson. Although after his prank last week, we are not so sure. Poor Stella was shaken to her core when she realised that he had snuck into her hotel room and read her diary. Question is tonight though, was Spector in the room when Burns arrived in for their confrontation and what exactly did he hear? Tonight sees the detective finally locate Spector and put him under surveillance, but her success doesn't last long as she is soon forced to face her own worst fears. Oh no, what is he going to do....

Schindler's List
RTE 2: 9.00pm

This harrowing movie based on real life events was released an unbelievable twenty one years ago today and bagged an impressive seven Academy Awards out of twelve nominations. It stars our own Liam Neeson as Oskar Schindler, an Austrian businessman who strives to save as many Jews as he can from concentration camps by employing them in his factory. Also starring Ben Kingsley and Ralph Fiennes, this is as epic a tale as you can get of a Sunday night, but if you're able for it, it's always worth a view.


Jimmy Carr: Laughing & Joking
Channel 4: 10.00pm

If the thoughts of dealing with World War 2 and The Holocaust are proving too much of a Sunday eve, then don't worry, Jimmy Carr is on hand for a few laughs. The host of 8 Out of 10 Cats brings one of his live shows to the telly, which was recorded at London's Hammersmith Apollo last year. You can expect his usual hilarious one-liners along with some pretty spectacular audience put-downs and if that's not all your cup of tea, at least you can have a good chuckle over the comedian's own laugh, which sounds.... kind of like a baby seal learning how to talk.
