Best TV shows on TV tonight
Clarkson's Farm, Amazon Prime Video
Jeremy Clarkson stays true to his acerbic, bolshie TV persona as this entertaining new eight part documentary follows his progress getting to grips, (or not as seems to be the case tonight), with the 1,000-acre Cotswold farm where he lives. Tonight’s opener sees him purchase a ludicrously huge Lamborghini tractor that he is clueless about operating, make a hash of ploughing some fields and get a severe telling off from his new right hand man, young farmer Kaleb who brings fun and youth to proceedings. Fans of Clarkson will enjoy it. Farmers will be rolling their eyes in despair!

Gregg Wallace's Big Weekend Away, 8pm, Channel 5
‘I don’t even know what Dutch food is,’ says Gregg as he embarks on a mini-break in Amsterdam. But as well as filling his belly with the best local food he can find, he also wants to enrich his mind and learn more about this tolerant and liberal city. He visits the Rijksmuseum to check out the paintings of the Dutch masters and goes on a guided boat tour to discover more about the city’s rich history. He also has fun at the biggest flower market in the world and ends his trip at a floral festival where the blooms are as big as dinosaurs.

UEFA Euro 2020, 7pm, BBC1
It's a year late, but Euro 2020 has finally arrived! It begins when Italy take on Turkey in Rome this evening (k-o 8pm), following what promises to be a colourful opening ceremony. Around 17,000 fans are due to be inside the Stadio Olimpico when the teams take to the field. Wales also feature in Group A (they play Switzerland tomorrow, k-o 2pm, BBC1/S4C) so their supporters may want to keep an eye on the game tonight! Later, Peter Crouch presents a new entertainment series looking at all the Euro action, plus music, celebs and football stars (10.55, BBC1, times vary).
