Britain’s Got Talent Live Final
7.30pm, ITV
When a mind-reading police dog moves Simon Cowell to tears and troupes of children get buzzered, you know BGT is pulling out all the stops. Tonight, the public must choose who walks away with £250,000 and the chance to perform at the Royal Variety Performance. Nerve-racking stuff. Hannah Verdier
Guy Martin’s D-Day Landing
8pm, Channel 4
To commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-day, Guy Martin presents a tribute to the 23,000 paratroopers dropped into Nazi-occupied France to pave the way for allied troops. Cue: the restoration of a Douglas C-47 Dakota aircraft, and moving insights from second world war veterans. Mike Bradley
Gentleman Jack
9pm, BBC One
Already greenlit for a second series, Sally Wainwright’s 19th-century Yorkshire drama finds shy heiress Miss Walker falling head over heels for her new neighbour Anne Lister. Sparingly scripted, this romp manages to combine the erotic and the comic to stunning effect as we cheer on our fearless heroine. MB
Storyville: The Raft
9pm, BBC Four
Another cleverly assembled documentary from the Storyville stable, Marcus Lindeen’s film draws on the writings of anthropologist Santiago Genovés, who achieved notoriety for orchestrating the “Peace Project” experiment in 1973. It saw Genovés and 11 crew (five men, six women) board a raft named the Acali, intending to cross the Atlantic from the Canary Islands to Mexico to study human behaviour in isolation. Here, surviving participants offer memories on a venture dubbed “The Sex Raft” by the press. MB
What We Do in the Shadows
9.45pm, BBC Two
The further high jinks of the latterday vampires who have lived together for hundreds of years on Staten Island. For all their longevity and supernatural skills, though, they aren’t entirely competent. Tonight, Laszlo, in the guise of a bat, is captured by animal control and needs rescuing. David Stubbs

10.30pm, BBC One
England’s women go to the World Cup in France as one of maybe four teams with a very good chance of winning – so start getting excited here, with Alex Scott’s profiles of the key players. Plus, footage of Phil Neville reacting to the group stage draw and picking his final squad. Jack Seale
