FOOTBALL Juventus v Tottenham Hotspur, 10.45am, Sky Sports 1

TENNIS Rogers Cup, 5.30pm, BT Sport 2, 11.30pm, BT Sport 1

SPORTS MOVIE McFarland, USA, 5.45pm, Sky Premiere

MIAMI MURDERS Rosewood, 8pm, Alibi
IN MIAMI, a private pathologist is known almost as well for his way with the ladies as he is for deducing how people died.

FINAL CASE Agatha Raisin, 9pm, Sky 1
PR GURU sleuth Agatha’s world implodes at the altar in this concluding episode of the frothy comedy murder mystery. A face from the past gate-crashes her wedding — and turns up dead in a ditch the next day. With Agatha (Ashley Jensen, pictured) an obvious suspect, the stakes are high . . .

NEW U.S. SITCOM Vice Principals, 9.35pm, Sky Atlantic
THE head of a U.S. school (Bill Murray) is forced to leave, and his two deputies (Danny McBride and Walton Goggins, pictured with Kimberly Hebert Gregory) act like idiot brothers as they jockey to replace him.

FECKLESS FRIENDS Wasted, 10pm, E4
E4’S occasionally gross new comedy is all about life in a small town, with friends who act cool — but really aren’t. That’s what makes it funny — that, and the guest appearance of Sean Bean as the ‘spirit guide’ of Morpheus (Danny Kirrane), who is trying to impress a girl with his pub quiz skills.
