Pick of the Day
Eurovision Song Contest, 8.00pm, RTÉ2
Along with Ed Sheeran and Garth Brooks, the Eurovision is a musical conundrum to me. I just can’t see what the big fuss is about. But I do know what 'an event' is.
Anyway. Derry girl Brooke Scullion's bid for Eurovision glory starts - and hopefully doesn’t end - with a performance of the song That's Rich in tonight's second semi-final of the competition, live from Turin, Italy.
Fingers crossed she’ll make it through to see Ukraine win in the flesh on Saturday.
Once again, the former Prince of Portmarnock, now Mayor of Malahide, Marty Whelan will be providing viewers with some words and on-the-ground perspective.

My Favorite Wife, 10.40pm, BBC Four
Cary Grant went on an outrageous run of great movies during the late 1930s, then into the 1940s and on into the 1950s, when he swapped comedy for drama.
This 1940 screwball comedy is up there with some of the best.
Director Garson Kanin was only 27, but performed a deft job of legendary Hollywood screenwriter/director/producer Leo McCarey’s co-written script. He even earned a writing credit.
Irene Dunne stars as a woman who, after being shipwrecked on a tropical island for several years and declared legally dead, returns to her [former] husband (Cary Grant) and children.
The supporting cast features Gail Patrick as the woman Arden has just married when his first wife returns, and Hollywood cowboy legend Randolph Scott as the man with whom his wife was marooned.
Preceded by the latest episode of The RKO Story (8pm) and the excellent Bringing Up Baby (9.00pm), starring Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn and a big cat.
Taskmaster, 9.00pm, Channel 4
All-powerful Taskmaster Greg Davies sets more perplexing and downright extraordinary tasks for Ardal O'Hanlon (above), Bridget Christie, Chris Ramsey, Judi Love and Sophie Duker.
This time, several contenders become baffled by things as apparently simple as a high five and a fish tank, which doesn't bode well as they continue their quest to win Greg's gilded bonce.
Alex Horne records the minutiae of each task as Ardal discovers that a mallet floats, Bridget has a present for the Taskmaster and Sophie covers some keys in saliva. EWWWW!!!!
