Doctor Who

A Whovian amuse bouche before the main event of the evening, this special episode of the sci-fi staple sees the Doctor’s quest to return Belinda to Earth take a detour at the Interstellar Song Contest.

Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final 2025
8pm, BBC One
To Basel, Switzerland, for the annual celebration of glorious Europop. Graham Norton will be casting his wry eye over proceedings, while the UK is represented on stage by Remember Monday, whose song What the Hell Just Happened? is an agreeably quirky affair full of gratuitous tempo changes and power ballad uplift. At the risk of tempting fate, a few more than nul points surely await? PH
William & Catherine: Putting Family First
7.20pm, Channel 5
A look at the supposedly radical approach of the Prince and Princess of Wales: prioritising their family over the crown. Given that Prince Andrew still lives in a royal residence, you might question how new the monarchy putting relatives before public interest is, but here’s lots of footage anyway. Alexi Duggins

Ellen E Jones

Fake

Deaf President Now!, out now, Apple TV+
Set during one week in 1988, Davis Guggenheim and Nyle DiMarco’s revelatory documentary follows an era-defining protest at Gallaudet University in Washington DC – at the time the only deaf higher education institution in the world. When the students discovered a hearing person had been chosen as their new president over deaf candidates, they locked down the campus until the decision was changed. The activists interviewed impress with their zeal for self-determination in a film cleverly designed so that hearing audiences are immersed in a deaf world. Simon Wardell
