There's the Champions League Final, a Bruce Springsteen night on the Beeb, the Britain's Got Talent: Live Final, new German drama The Black Forest Murders, and the season final of Doctor Who . . .
Pick of the Day
Live UEFA Champions League, 7.00pm, RTÉ2
Streaming on RTÉ Player
It’s France v Italy as Peter Collins presents coverage of the Champions League Final from Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany as Paris Saint-Germain face Internazionale (KO 8pm).
Despite the gazillions spent by their Arab owners over the years, PSG have yet to win the trophy - but are now looking to go one better than in 2020 when they lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich in their only previous appearance in te final.
Inter – on the other hand – are more accustomed to such surroundings and have been champions of Europe on three occasions.
The most recent of those triumphs came in 2010, and they were unlucky runners-up to Manchester City just two seasons ago.
They reached this stage after a thrilling 7-6 aggregate victory over Barcelona after extra time in the semi-finals.
It’s probably too much to ask for something similar tonight – but an early goal could really open up the game. Conversely, the longer it’s screless, the more likely both sides will grow cautious.
With analysis from Kevin Doyle, Richie Sadlier and Stephen Kelly.
New or Returning Shows
Bruce Springsteen at the BBC, 8.30pm, BBC Two
A night of programming dedicated to Bruce Springsteen opens with a selection of performances from the BBC's archives by the American singer-songwriter.
It features appearances on shows such as The Old Grey Whistle Test and Top of the Pops and BBC Four sessions.
When Bruce Springsteen Came to Britain follows at 9.30pm.
It’s a look at the unique relationship he has with the UK, telling the story of his first European gig, when he and his E Street Band arrived for a sold-out performance at London's Hammersmith Odeon in November 1975 to promote his Born to Run album.
In an interview recorded for this programme, Springsteen reveals how he was so disappointed by his own performance that night that he couldn't watch the footage back for more than 30 years.
Meanwhile fans recount how hearing - and meeting - Springsteen changed their lives.
Then at 10.35pm there’s the gig itself: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: Hammersmith Odeon 1975.
The set includes performances of Thunder Road, She's the One, Born to Run, Rosalita (Come Out Tonight) and Quarter to Three.
Bruce Springsteen: A Secret History is next at 12.45am.
It’s a documentary first broadcast in 1998 in which he talks about his life and career in an interview largely recorded in his New Jersey home, and performs an acoustic version of Born in the USA in a bar in Asbury.
If you fancy it, there’s also Blinded by the Light at 1.45am, a Springsteen-inspired coming-of-age drama, starring Viveik Kalra, Kulvinder Ghir and Meera Ganatra.
Javed Khan is a British-Pakistani college student living in 1980s Bedfordshire under a domineering father.
Facing parental pressure and everyday racism, he unexpectedly finds his frustrations and ambitions expressed in Bruce Springsteen songs.
Inspired by the rock star and a teacher who encourages his own writing, he sets out to fulfill his dreams.
Secrets of Flying Scotsman, 8.20pm, Channel 4
Here’s a treat for the train fans out there.
It’s pretty much given that the Flying Scotsman is the world's most famous steam locomotive.
Built in 1923, it became a symbol of the golden age of steam and an enduring example of British design and engineering.
The first episode reveals the secrets of Flying Scotsman's groundbreaking design by legendary engineer Nigel Gresley - including a corridor between the cab and the coal tender that allowed a change of crew without stopping.
The Black Forest Murders, 9.00pm, BBC Four
The BBC Four subtitled drama slot introduces this German crime drama, starring Nina Kunzendorf.
When DCI Barbara Kramer and her colleague Thomas Riedle get a call about a missing young woman, the local force and concerned villagers have already been searching for 17 hours.
Episode two follows at 9.45pm. There are still few leads to follow in the Berghoff case, but the discovery of a second body less than 20 miles away leads the team to believe a serial killer is at work.

Britain's Got Talent: Live Final, 7.00pm, Virgin Media One & UTV
Here’s an alternative to the Champions League Final.
Rather you than me - but it’s all about personal taste, eh?
Over the past few months, judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli (above) have witnessed an array of talent and had the task of whittling the acts down to 40, who then competed in five semi-finals.
Now the 2025 winner will be decided, with the victorious act pocketing £250,000 and landing a spot on the Royal Variety Performance bill.
As always, Ant and Dec present.

Saturday Cinema
The Blues Brothers, 9.40pm, TG4
As well as being great fun, this 1980 movie directed by John Landis is also a crash course in soul music.
It stars John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as Jake and Elwood Blues, characters developed from the recurring musical sketch on Saturday Night Live.
It’s a tale of the two brothers discovering that the orphanage where they were raised faces closure unless the nuns who run it can pay their tax bill.
Naturally enough, the pair embark on an urgent mission to revive their old blues band to raise the required amount of cash.
The best scene is deffo when the lads turn up at the music shop run by the legendary Ray Charles. Or mayber Think, with Arertha Franklin. Or maybe it's been a while and I just need to see it again.
Nearly everyone involved is now dead, but that cast is amazing: it features Belushi, Aykroyd (who's still around), Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Ray Charles, Cab Calloway, Carrie Fisher, John Candy and John Lee Hooker.
See How They Run, 9.20pm, Channel 4
Enjoyable mystery comedy set during the original 1950s production of Agatha Christie’s legendary stage whodunit, The Mousetrap, starring Sam Rockwell and Saoirse Ronan.

Everyone is a suspect including the cast, crew and ushers.
Family Flick
The Addams Family 2, 6.35pm, RTÉ One
This animated sequel is bland and rather lacking in traditional Addams Family charm, but it might keep a few young heads happy.
Lawyer Mr Mustela approaches Gomez and Morticia for a sample of their daughter Wednesday's DNA.
The advocate claims the enfant terrible was switched in the maternity ward with another child, leaving Gomez devastated at the prospect of losing his little girl.
With the voices of Oscar Isaac and Charlize Theron and Chloe Grace Moretz.

Leinster go into the play-offs as the favourites to win the title, having comfortably topped the table during the regular season.
