TV tonight: the Eurovision party starts here!
11.40pm, BBC One The Eurovision song contest final takes place in Switzerland on 17 May, so of course we are already warming up for it with this celebratory concert in Amsterdam to kick off the competition. Edsilia Rombley and the Drag Race UK star Tia Kofi host a night of interviews and performances with Eurovision royalty including Loreen, Nemo, Käärijä, Katrina (minus her Waves) and Baby Lasagna. Hollie Richardson 9pm, BBC One Bucket-hatted detective Mervin (Don Gilet) is called in to investigate the shooting of a local man with a love of dating apps. But how did the lothario afford his luxury lifestyle? Elsewhere, veteran commissioner Selwyn (Don Warrington) puts a brave face on matters despite the prospect of being put out to pasture. Graeme Virtue 9pm, BBC Three Even if you haven't been wholly committed to the murders and banishments of Alan Cumming's US version of the treacherous reality competition, the final roundtable always provides top entertainment for fans of the format. Then it's time to find out who will be taking the money. HR 9pm, Sky Max A double bill of the moreish meta comedy, which has belatedly made it to British broadcast TV. As season one wraps up, Deborah (Jean Smart) catches Ava (Hannah Einbinder) in a lie, leading to a bitter showdown between the veteran Joan-Rivers-esque comic and her reluctant young hire. Hannah J Davies 10.15pm, BBC Three Lorcan and Gemma are throwing a party at Boggins' farm ('It's the biggest event of the year – sometimes seven, maybe eight people attend'). Among the guests is Gemma's brother David (Jamie Demetriou). Has Callum found a great new friend? Utterly wonderful. Ali Catterall 10.40pm, BBC One The end-of-series highlights show is always a bit of a letdown – but then again, what a reel. Demi Moore's tiny but fabulous dog, Ariana Grande's explanation of 'holding space', Tom Hiddleston's 'big booty' game and Michelle Yeoh thanking Quentin Tarantino for saving her career are some of the best moments.
