More chat from Angela Scanlan's hot pink couch, a Later special from Arctic Monkeys and a scare at bedtime with Poltergeist - here's Saturday's top telly
Angela Scanlon's Ask Me Anything, RTÉ One and RTÉ Player, Saturday, 9:45pm.
Architect and presenter Dermot Bannon, chef and entrepreneur Clodagh McKenna Herbert, and comedian Neil Delamere are set to join Angela Scanlon on her hot pink couch tonight.
Dermot will chat to Angela about nicking something of Daniel O' Donnell's, what it's like to be a sex symbol at the age of 50, and how ironing while listening to podcasts and 90's dance music is his form of meditation.
Clodagh will tell Angela and Dermot all about her hens and their fancy names, how it feels to live in Downton Abbey, her love of eating "en famille" and about her imaginary pal Eileen from Galway.
Neil will chat about how an appearance on Blackboard Jungle at 15 led to a recent stint on Celebrity Mastermind, his three-legged dog Lola and the time he lied to a Garda.
