What’s on TV tonight
Our expert TV journalists have picked the best things on TV tonight…
Maureen O Hara and John Wayne in The Quiet Man
It’s the standout terrestrial channel offering on a Christmas Day which, bar a couple of nice new animations, Angela’s Christmas Wish (RTE1, 5.15pm) and Quentin Blake’s The Clown (Channel 4, 7.40pm), is more or less a repeat of last year’s.
All the usual suspects are here: Strictly Come Dancing (BBC1, 4.45pm); Britain’s Got Talent Christmas Spectacular (UTV 8pm); Call the Midwife (BBC1, 7.40pm), and Mrs Brown’s Boys (RTE1, 9.45pm; BBC1, 10pm), in which Mammy enters a Radio Times competition (which, incidentally, you can’t if you live in the Republic of Ireland) to perform an alternative Queen’s speech.
