What to watch on TV on Friday 14 June 2024, from Scotland and Germany opening Euro 2024 to The Nevermets
The Sun's TV Mag recommends tuning into these six shows airing today
IT'S all kicking off in Germany as Euro 24 gets underway tonight.
Scotland are the first home nation in action as they take on the hosts in the opening game, and from this point onwards, it's non-stop footie for a whole month.
Here are TV Mag's six telly picks for Friday 14 June 2024...
UEFA EURO 2024: Germany v Scotland (6.30pm ITV1)
6
It’s the hope, they say, that kills you.
And right now, with Euro 2024 about to begin, fans of England and Scotland are brimming with the stuff.

For England, it’s the hope that perhaps this could be the time when the Three Lions put the ghosts of 1966 to bed - for Scotland, it’s the hope that they could pull off a miracle of epic proportions.
Tonight, the Tartan Army will be at the Allianz Arena in Munich to watch Steve Clarke’s side get the tournament, and Group A, underway against hosts Germany.
If Scotland are to spring a surprise, they’ll need their more experienced players - like Scott McTominay - to be fit and on form.
Can they do it?

People Magazine Investigates: Surviving A Serial Killer (10pm Quest Red)
6
This disturbing six-part series meets people who escaped serial killers, beginning with a victim of American multiple murderer Rodney Alcala.
Dubbed the Dating Game Killer, because he once appeared on a TV dating show, Alcala committed seven murders and countless sexual assaults during the 1960s and 70s.
Morgan Rowan, then a teenager, survived two separate attacks by Alcala but, because she never reported the attacks, always felt guilty about what happened to later victims.
Chilling.
The Nevermets (10pm C4)
6
“I’ve dated younger guys and it’s fun, but they’re still trying to figure themselves out – that’s why I’m dating older guys,” says 24-year-old Scottish social media manager, Leah.
Her ‘Nevermet’?
Chad, 48, who lives in America.
The pair connected on a dating site two months ago and are ready to meet face-to-face.
But as well as needing to see if they’re the real deal, they also have to think about Chad’s 16-year-old daughter.
Gardeners’ World (8pm BBC2)
6
It’s time for the annual Gardeners’ World Live event from Birmingham – and we’re all invited.
Monty Don, Adam Frost, Carol Klein and the rest of the team bring us the action, including how to make the most of your outside space in the Show Gardens, and what plants and flowers should be at the top of your to-buy list in the floral marquee.
Hidden Treasures Of The National Trust (9pm BBC2)
6
The magnificent Chirk Castle, situated between the borders of England and Wales, is the focus of the final episode of the series – and the home of one of the National Trust’s rarest treasures.
Hung on the walls of the 18th century servants’ hall is a full-length, life-sized 300-year-old portrait of a servant called John Wilton.
Now, in a bid to find out more about John and why he was granted such an honour, the team’s tasked with bringing life back to the dark, discoloured artwork to see the finer details.
And the before and after results are pretty remarkable…
Paranormal: The Village That Saw Aliens (9pm BBC3)
6
In 1977, the seaside village of Broad Haven in Wales hit the headlines when 14 schoolboys claimed to see a UFO in the playground.
They were all asked to draw what they saw and, shockingly, they all depicted a large silver craft with creepy similarities.
