Pick of the Day
Cher at the BBC, 9.00pm, BBC Two
The Beeb turn back time (I’ll get me coat!) with this journey through their archives to celebrate singing superstar Cher and her 75th birthday.
This selection of songs and chat show moments features many of the hits that have made Cher the only artist to have US number ones in each of the past six decades.
Many favourites are featured, includingBelieve, Love and Understanding, Walking in Memphis and her first UK chart topper I Got You Babe, recorded with ex-husband and singing partner, the late Sonny Bono.
Here's my favourite:
Don’t Miss
Champions League Final, 7.00pm, Virgin Media Two
Here's coverage of the all-English final at Estadio do Dragao in Porto, between Manchester City and Chelsea (KO 8.00pm).
Arab-owned City are playing in their first-ever Champions League final and will go into this match with confidence after comfortably winning the English Premier League and recording an impressive 4-1 aggregate victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals.
Meanwhile, Russian-owned Chelsea have won the last two meetings between the sides, in the FA Cup and the league, and will be looking to lift the trophy for the second time, having last triumphed against Bayern Munich in 2012.
May the best moneybags win.

It transpires that a highly influential mole has been operating for some time.

New to Stream
The Queen’s Corgi, Sky Cinema & NOW TV
This animated comedy features Jack Whitehall and Dame Julie Walters as Rex and The Queen respectively, and some crude humour that may not be suitable for younger viewers.
As for the story: Rex, the Queen’s most beloved dog friend, has got himself into a right royal mess.
After an international incident coinciding with the arrival of a certain former president, Rex finds himself lost and faces a monumental journey to get back to the palace.
Along the way, he falls in with a clan of not-so-regal mutts and must embrace his new friends if there is any hope of ever being pampered again.

Her protective dad (Meaney) is determined to stand by her through thick and thin, but over the next few months, small-town gossip starts to take its toll on him.
