The best TV to watch this weekend: Michael J Fox deep dives into Parkinson’s disease and Eurovision final kicks off

Friday

BLACK KNIGHT Netflix Netflix’s two favourite obsessions, dystopian dramas and South Korea, fuse in this new series. In a society ruined by air pollution, Kim Woo-bin plays a tough, er, delivery man known as 5-8, whose job is to bring clean oxygen, a precious commodity, to communities. Let’s hope it’s more like Mad Max than Kevin Costner’s The Postman.

UNREPORTED WORLD Channel 4, 7.30pm Mandakini Gahlot visits India to find out why leopard attacks have sky-rocketed in urban areas and what the authorities are doing to tackle the problem.

LIVERPOOL MUSIC NIGHT BBC4, from 9pm Here’s a fantastic, jumbo-sized treat from the archives. First up is Paul McCartney at the BBC,a compilation of Macca’s post-Beatles appearances, interspersed with a meeting with superfan Bob Mortimer. Rock Family Trees (10.30pm) looks at the early 1960s Liverpool music scene. The success of The Beatles helped raise the boats of Gerry and the Pacemakers, The Searchers, The Merseybeats and more. Finally, Everything: The Real Thing Story(11.20pm) is a superb feature documentary about Liverpool’s Fab Four of funk and soul, The Real Thing, who enjoyed extraordinary international success in the 1970s, but had to contend with racist abuse, personal tragedy and drug problems.

THE LATE LATE SHOW RTÉ One, 9.35pm I imagine Ryan Tubridy, the self-styled biggest Beatles fan in the world (whatever happened to the “young fogey” shtick he use to peddle?), would enjoy watching the above. Instead, he’ll be talking to Michael Bublé, Charlene McKenna, star of new drama Clean Sweep(see Sunday) and snooker star Ronnie O’Sullivan. As usual, there’s a plug for an in-house series – Gaelic in the Joy,starting next week — and music from The Tumbling Paddies, who are, it says here, “the hottest new act on the live circuit”. That very much depends on which live circuit you mean.

Saturday

EUROVISION SONG CONTEST RTÉ One/BBC1, 8pm The Eurovision is always a long night anyway (last year’s ran for a bum-numbing four hours-plus). But if some of the kitschy crap that made it through the semi-finals is anything to go by, this one is going to feel like even more of an endurance test than usual. As always, Marty Whelan is on commentating duty for RTÉ. On the Beeb, meanwhile, Graham Norton will be splitting his time between his usual acerbic commentary on the acts and being one of four co-presenters.

FALKLANDS WAR: THE UNTOLD STORY Channel 4, 7.30pm If you suffer from a Eurovision allergy, the pickings on the other channels tonight are thin. This excellent documentary, first shown last year, is one of the better bets. It’s an excoriating account of a conflict Britain almost lost through bewildering incompetence.

DAD’S ARMY BBC2, 7.35pm The very first episode of the ever-popular wartime comedy, and also the only one that opens in the then-present day, 1968.

FAST & FURIOUS: GREATEST MOMENTS REFUELLED Sky Max, 8pm An hour of motorised mayhem as fans pick their favourite bits from the seemingly inexhaustible film franchise.

SYKES BBC4, from 1am For insomniac fans of vintage comedy, a double bill of Eric Sykes’s 1970s sitcom, including the episode The Stranger, with Peter Sellers, by then a major movie star, as an escaped convict.

Sunday

CLEAN SWEEP RTÉ One, 9.30pm RTÉ’s strong drama run continues with this new Galway-set thriller series. Charlene McKenna plays a seemingly ordinary housewife and mother-of-three whose husband (Barry Ward) is a detective. But when a man from her past turns up, he threatens to reveal her long-dormant secrets.

NORTH ATLANTIC: THE DARK OCEAN RTÉ One, 6.30pm Breathtaking underwater photography by Ken Sullivan combines with a soundtrack by the RTÉ Concert Orchestra in this new series about our wondrous marine life.

BRITISH ACADEMY TELEVISION AWARDS BBC1, 7pm Will there be travesty on the scale of last year’s, when the superb It’s a Sinhad seven nominations and went home with nothing?

THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH BBC4, 8pm A chance to see Saoirse Ronan on stage, on your screen. She plays the ruthless wife of James McArdle’s weak-willed Macbeth in a production recorded at London’s Almeida Theatre.

THE MAN WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE Sky Documentaries, 9pm Four-part series, sparked by files belonging to the late author Stieg Larsson, suggesting the murder of Swedish prime minister Olof Palme was a political assassination rather than a random act of violence.
