What to watch on TV tonight: Thursday

Here are the shows that’ll be on your Twitter timeline later.

Every lunchtime, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.

Troy (Channel 4, 11.05pm)

If you haven’t been tripping enough these past few days, let street magician Troy melt your mind with his slick tricks. Troy hits the London streets to continue baffling and surprising unsuspecting members of the public with his frankly scary wizardry. Tonight’s episode promises a massive finale on a ghost tour.

Don’t Tell the Bride (RTÉ 2, 9pm)

We await another groom-to-be creating a series of avoidable screw-ups as he attempts to call all the shots in order to give his bride her dream wedding. Tonight’s episode includes a homemade cake, a toothless groom, and a bin lorry. Sounds ideal.

The Toughest Trade (TV 3, 10pm)

This documentary explores the radical differences between GAA and other club games. To illustrate, they’re swapping a hurler and a Gaelic footballer with baseball and soccer stars. We bet they’ll be great at those and all, the jammers.
