It's the day that the whole nation has been holding its breath for, the grand final of the All-Ireland Talent Show. Glamorous Gráinne Seoige introduces the contenders for the €50,000 prize before the judges call the shots and the public make their choice. It is followed at 7.30pm (on RTÉ Two) by Backstage at A.I.T.S, arguably the more interesting part of the evening, as the irreverent duo of Aidan Power and Dustin take us behind the scenes to Hoover up the gossip and glitz at Ardmore Studios. Then, finally, at 8.30pm, it's the final countdown. Cue drum roll, dramatic tension and mayhem.

Blur or Oasis? Back in the hackneyed years of Brit Pop, that was the question. This documentary follows Blur on the reunion trail in the summer of 2009 when, after ten years apart, they reformed and rediscovered their Mojo. If you doubt this, tune into the show that follows at 12.35, Blur at Glastonbury 2009 which features highlights of Blur's triumphant gig, the festival finale, on the Pyramid Stage in June 2009. Oasis?

Many years after it was invaded by an army of anti-war women, the politically incorrect (and loving it) Jeremy Clarkson and his floppy-haired colleague James May stage their own mini-invasion to ask that overwhelming question: have the Communists ever made a decent car? Meanwhile the even floppier-haired Boris Johnson, mayor of London, is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.
