Sacred Music: Brahms & Bruckner
7.30pm, BBC4
Following on from a successful series last year, this is the actor and former chorister Simon Russell Beale's latest look into the history of western religious music. It shows how deeply classical music was once geared towards exalting the glories of God, and also how momentous events in the history of Christianity shaped the course that music was to take. Tonight, he visits Germany and Austria to examine the work of Johannes Brahms, whose epic A German Requiem took texts from the Lutheran Bible; and Anton Bruckner, a devout Catholic, obsessive-compulsive and musical radical.
Eurovision: Your Country Needs You
8.30pm, BBC1
Six new acts compete to represent the UK at Eurovision, presided over by Graham Norton. This time, Pete Waterman offers up a golden pop nugget which will easily be better than last year's Lloyd Webber dirge. Former UK entrant Jade Ewen returns with the new-look Sugababes to perform and there's an appearance from Alexander "Frodo" Rybak, who won the 2009 contest for Norway with his enchanting Beirut rip-off. And you the viewer will decide who to briefly shove into the limelight before booing their loser asses all the way home from Oslo.
Mastercrafts
9pm, BBC2
At the risk of sounding corny, Mastercrafts is as much about how practising traditional crafts changes people as it is about the crafts themselves. Which is precisely why it's such a quiet treat. This week, three volunteers have a bash at working with stone under the tutelage of Andy Oldfield, the senior mason at an Elizabethan stately home, Hardwick Hall. Naturally, it all turns out to be much trickier than you might initially imagine as the volunteers learn about everything from quarrying stone to the intricacies of fine carving.
Embarrassing Bodies
9pm, Channel 4
Since Friends ended (in real time, not in the endless cycle of era-defying repeats), Channel 4 has struggled to fill its Friday night slot with anything quite so talked-about. Now that this medical mystery show is happily ensconced at 9pm, that could change, though perhaps not for quite the right reasons. Inverted nipples, poor personal hygiene and "fish odour syndrome" get an, um, airing tonight, all in the name of demystifying health issues.
