CHILDREN’S SHOW Satellite choice
SNOOKER World Open, 7am, 12noon Eurosport 1

TENNIS Rogers Cup, 4pm, Sky Sports 3
ANDY MURRAY’S Wimbledon final opponent, Milos Raonic is on home soil for this tournament in Toronto. Murray has won here three times and is the current champion, having beaten Novak Djokovic two sets to one last year.
Bottersnikes & Gumbles, 6pm, CBBC
FANS of Fungus The Bogeyman should enjoy this series (pictured above) based on the Australian books. The Gumbles are cheery, cute creatures: Bottersnikes are the opposite, and they live and quarrel in a valley full of cleverly re-purposed rubbish. Miriam Margolyes is the voice of one of them.
REAL MYSTERY Unsolved: The Boy Who Disappeared, BBC3 via iPlayer
OVER eight short episodes, two reporters piece together fragments of information on 16-year-old Damien Nettles, who went missing in Cowes on the Isle of Wight in 1996.
SERIES RE-RUN Maisie Raine, 8pm, Drama
NO-NONSENSE, bend-the-rules detective Maisie Raine was a decent, meaty role for Pauline Quirke. Bullish yet effective, Raine solves cases but leaves a trail of disgruntled (largely male) colleagues in her wake. Weeknight repeats start from series one tonight.
BIOPIC Norman Wisdom: His Story, 9pm, BBC4
ANOTHER chance to see this tribute to the late entertainer, first shown in 2010 following his death. He was one of Britain’s most bankable film stars through the 1950s and 1960s, and even if his style of clowning and slapstick might have now fallen out of fashion, there’s no disputing his talent.
CRIME SERIES Bones, 9pm, Sky Living
THE U.S. crime procedural reaches the finale of its penultimate, 11th season. Serial killer the Puppeteer — who, as the name suggests, plays with his victims before disposing of them — rears his ugly head again, with Brennan (Emily Deschanel) in particular furrowing her brows over the case.
U.S. DRAMA Ray Donovan, 9pm, Sky Atlantic
THIS fourth series is once again tying Liev Schreiber’s professional fixer in knots, but it wouldn’t feel right if Ray didn’t have multiple problems on his slate. Dad Mickey (Jon Voight) is back in town, while Ray is still trying to solve the Russian problem and Hector
needs his help once again.
FREEVIEW MOVIE Lawless, 11.20pm, Film4
ADAPTED by Nick Cave from the book The Wettest County In The World, this Prohibition-era western pulses with energy. Shia LaBeouf, a magnificently taciturn Tom Hardy and Jason Clarke are the bootlegging Bondurant brothers; Guy Pearce is the snide lawman out to shut down their operation.
