FOOTBALL
Liverpool v Salzburg, 7.15pm, BT Sport 3
AFTER their Champions League disappointment in Naples, the Reds need to get back on track. Salzburg won their opener 6-2, though, with five goals in the first half, so Liverpool need to be wary. Over on BT Sport 2, Chelsea travel to France to face Lille (7pm).
NATURAL WORLD
A Day In The Life Of Earth, 9pm,p, BBC4
DR HANNAH FRY (pictured) anchors an hour about just how much our planet changes in a day. We see the quantity of lava made in a volcano and how many tons of phytoplankton grow in our oceans, while glacier expert Heidi Sevestre reveals how far these masses of ice can move in a day.
SEASON FINALE
Outlander, 9pm, More4
THE third series concludes with a thrilling episode that propels Claire into a head-on collision with Geillis, who is now properly insane. That story reaches its end about halfway through and with a detail that cleverly ties the story back on itself — but there’s more to come, and it all builds to a spine-tingling finale. Outlander will return.
VAMPIRE DRAMA
The Strain, 9pm, Paramount Network
THE Freeview premiere for season two of Guillermo del Toro’s chilling vampire drama. Eph (Corey Stoll) focuses his efforts on a scientific solution to the virus that is turning Manhattanites into bloodsuckers. (Freeview 54, Freesat 132, Sky 153, Virgin 188)
SUNNY REMAKE
Baywatch, 9pm, Film4
SUNNY and more than a little silly update of the hit TV series. Dwayne Johnson is the veteran lifeguard training a new crop of recruits, while Zac Efron is the young buck who doesn’t want to toe the safety line. Original stars David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson also run into view.
REALITY SHOW
Vicky Pattison: No Filter, 10pm, Quest Red
THE I’m A Celebrity winner stars in her own reality series, the title of which feels redundant — Vicky has never looked like she’s biting her tongue, and that’s part of what makes her so good to watch on TV. In part one, the straight-talking Geordie has weight problems. (Freeview 38, Sky 149, Virgin 215)
COMEDY PROFILE
Rik Mayall: Lord Of Misrule, 10pm, BBC4
A CELEBRATION of the comedian and actor who died suddenly in 2014, leaving a big hole in British comedy. Simon Callow narrates a blend of archive footage and interviews with those who knew and admired Mayall, such as Michael Palin, Simon Pegg, Lenny Henry, Ben Elton and Jools Holland.
REVELATIONS
Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over, 10pm,p W
IT’S A good one this week. Stacey St goes to stay with a nice family of Mormons (pictured), who see this as a chance to reach more people than you would on a doorstep. There is a thorny chat about samesex marriage, and Stacey zeroes in on what she sees as son Adam’s struggles with the religion’s limits.
MILITARY MOVIE
The Great War, Sky Store/Virgin Movies
RON PERLMAN, who plays a CIA agent in BBC1’s The Capture, also stars alongside Billy Zane in this solid drama about a group of U.S. soldiers sent behind enemy lines during World War I.
