This Friday's Late Late Country Music Special will pay tribute to Big Tom, who passed away yesterday aged 81.

The country music legend, who emerged during the showband scene in the 1960s, will be celebrated by a line-up of Irish country stars which will include Daniel O'Donnell and Nathan Carter.

It's clear that country music is attracting a whole new audience, as last year's Late Late Country Special proved when it attracted well over 677,000 viewers.

Aoife Barry and Louise Duffy talked about this and some of the week's other TV stories, including the possible return of Gavin and Stacey, and the announcement that Westworld's Evan Rachel Wood will be paid the same as her male co-stars for the third season - is it a sign that things are changing with the gender pay gap?
