It's time for Claudia to take her rightful place as chatshow queen. Expect the same vibe as The Graham Norton Show (they share the same producer) with a bit more fake tan and eyeliner. Her first guests are celebrities who always have a good anecdote up their sleeves: Jeff Goldblum, Vanessa Williams, Jennifer Saunders and Tom Allen. Plus, she's promised to get the audience at home and in the studio involved, too.

The springtime sunshine calls for a new green-fingered series with Monty Don. First on the list: planting raspberries and potting dahlias. Elsewhere, Adam Frost has moved house and is getting to grips with his new garden, and Arit Anderson is at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew.
9pm, BBC One
The sun-drenched whodunnit has been enhanced by Gary Wilmot popping up occasionally as flamboyant, egotistical Saint Marie journalist Anton. He and his wonderful cravat get plenty of screen time in this typically twisty instalment as DI Mervin and the squad investigate the poisoning of a newspaper agony aunt.
9pm, BBC Two
It's all gone a bit Real Housewives in this immersive wildlife series shot in Botswana. Last week, we learned that dominant male lion Big Toe had a whole other pride on the side. Now the females and cubs of the Xudum pride are scattered across the Okavango delta with no one to protect them. Can they find each other again?
10pm, Channel 4
Richard Ayoade, last seen coming second to Bob Mortimer in Last One Laughing, joins the Last Leg crew to start the weekend. American comedian Michelle Wolf will also be in the studio, as everybody digests the predictably turbulent week that has been.

Materialists (Celine Song, 2025), 8.35am, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
Celine Song's follow-up to Past Lives has a superficially similar setup of a woman caught between two men - one of whom is from her past. But here the focus for Dakota Johnson's high-end Manhattan matchmaker Lucy is whether to opt for love with her ex - broke actor/waiter John (Chris Evans) - or marriage to the loaded, 10-out-of-10 "unicorn" financier Harry (Pedro Pascal). There are lots of quotable lines about the business of dating and getting hitched, and the three stars are infinitely photogenic, while Lucy's dilemma is ripe for heated post-viewing debate.
Girl (Adura Onashile, 2023), 11pm, BBC Two
This wonderfully assured debut feature from Adura Onashile is a sensitive portrait of immigrant life and the dead weight of history with which many struggle. Nightshift cleaner Grace (an exceptional Déborah Lukumuena) lives in a Glasgow block of flats with her 11-year-old daughter Ama (Le'Shantey Bonsu), but past trauma has made her mistrustful of the outside world, even agoraphobic, and overprotective of her child. However, Ama has a youthful desire for new experience and finds a friend in cheeky neighbour Fiona (Liana Turner).
