MOTD Live: Uefa Euro 2020 (BBC1, 7pm)
ACTION in the delayed European Championship begins tonight at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, where Gary Lineker is joined by Alan Shearer, Rio Ferdinand and Thierry Henry to present coverage of Turkey v Italy in Group A. The Turks will be looking for a better showing than 2016, when they finished third in a group also containing Croatia, Spain and the Czech Republic. Meanwhile, Italy, runners-up in 2012, are the group favourites, with former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini leading the Azzurri to a major tournament for the first time.
Gregg Wallace’s Big Weekend Away (C5, 8pm)
THE MasterChef judge explores a perennial favourite for a weekend getaway – Amsterdam. The Dutch city is one of Europe’s prettiest, and while staying on its famous canals, Wallace finds out more about its fascinating history. He visits famed art galleries and tours the canals, uncovering how and why Amsterdam became known as the most liberal place in Europe. Of course, he also gets stuck into the food – from the super-traditional to the Dutch equivalent of a Friday night curry – the Indonesian.
Great Paintings Of The World With Andrew Marr (C5, 9pm)
THE second series begins with the first and perhaps most influential art installation ever created – Claude Monet’s Water Lilies. Marr travels to Paris to explore the remarkable story of a cycle of massive flower paintings, works that move him almost beyond measure. But behind these beautiful, serene canvasses lies a tale of personal tragedy, a brutal war and a man tormented by an unrelenting obsession.
Gardeners’ World (BBC2, 9pm)
AT Longmeadow, Monty Don plants up his containers with the aim of bringing some summer colour into his jewel garden, and down in Hampshire, Joe Swift meets the designer of an award-winning contemporary garden. Next, in Staffordshire, cameras visit the national collection of one of summer’s most delicate flowers, the angel’s fishing rod – a herbaceous perennial with delicate arching plumes of bell-shaped flowers. Finally, we catch up with three sisters from Dorset to find out about their new growing project.
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!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
