5 things on telly tonight to keep you entertained while stuck inside

Orlaith Condon

Get cosy, lads.

Looks like we’re going to be stuck inside for the foreseeable future and we’re already suffering from cabin fever.

Met Éireann is issuing weather warning after weather warning, saying:

“Blizzard-like conditions will develop in heavy snow and strong easterly winds.

“Thursday evening and will continue Thursday night and Friday morning giving significant snow drifts in many areas.”

Yes, while we’ve no interest in stepping foot in the storm that’s raging outside, we’re also guilty of getting easily bored while stuck at home for too long. Well, thankfully there’s loads on telly to keep us entertained over the next few days.

So, get your extra layers on, make a cup of tea and get settled in, because there’s plenty to chose from.
