WHAT’S HOT TO WATCH TODAY

- MIKE WARD

NO matter who you support, there’s no disputing the performanc­e of the English Premier League season. It was at Anfield on the final day, from a certain individual in a red No.11 shirt.

Yep, four-year-old Makka Mohamed Salah had the whole crowd cheering every time she touched the ball. It was top entertainm­ent.

But here’s the thing. It turns out her dad’s quite good at football as well. So good, in fact, that Channel 4 has made a documentar­y about him, called MO SALAH: A FOOTBALL FAIRY TALE (10pm).

Ahead of Saturday’s Champions League Final against Real Someone-Or-Other, it looks at how the 25-year-old Egyptian rose from humble origins to where he is today, the Golden Bootwinnin­g Player Of The Year. That, and a really decent bloke. ITV continues its NHS 70th anniversar­y celebratio­ns with two more shows. A&E LIVE (9pm) heads to Leeds General Infirmary for the first of three nightly reports fronted by Davina McCall, following its emergency teams in real time. And, before that, LOVE YOUR GARDEN: NHS SPECIAL (8pm) finds Alan Titchmarsh’s gang working their horticultu­ral magic at the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, where many of those caught up in the Manchester Arena attack, a year ago today, were taken for emergency treatment. THAT appalling night, when 22 young fans died after an Ariana Grande gig, with more than 800 injured, is also the subject of BBC2’s sobering documentar­y MANCHESTER: THE NIGHT OF THE BOMB (9pm), where survivors recall the horror and the scars it’s left, both physical and mental.
