Gary Lineker presents coverage of the first-ever English Premier League match to be shown on terrestrial TV – and the first top-flight game broadcast live on the BBC since 1988 – at Vitality Stadium.

Alan Carr’s Epic Gameshow (STV, 7.30pm)
ALAN Carr has made a great job of breathing new life into some old game show classics, including Bruce Forsyth’s beloved ratings favourite Play Your Cards Right, The Price Is Right, and Take Your Pick. The latest offering, Strike It Lucky, is no exception. Three pairs of players will be choosing the top, middle or bottom as they navigate their way across several screens, trying not to let their greed stop them banking too many prizes, and avoiding the hotspots. One pair will reach the endgame, where they stand to win assorted prizes and a luxury Las Vegas holiday.
I Am Not Your Negro (BBC2, 9pm)
INSPIRED by James Baldwin’s unfinished manuscript Remember This House and narrated by Samuel L Jackson, this critically acclaimed documentary examines the lives of the civil rights leaders, and close friends of Baldwin’s, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr and Medgar Evers. It uses their experience as the springboard for an examination of the black experience in America, and uses Baldwin’s words as it explores everything from Hollywood stereotypes to police brutality.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
