It’s a rest day in the World Cup, but don’t worry, you can survive this difficult 24 hours.

Women’s NIFL Cup Final is on the BBC Red Button, meanwhile, BBC Four will be making the licence fee a bargain tonight with a whole night dedicated to Duran Duran. Remember, it’s only a few weeks until Duran Duran Appreciation Day (August 10th)

And after all that, BBC Scotland will be broadcasting highlights of TRNSMT.

Decent night of TV viewing to make up for the lack of football.

Also, Canada Day and Independence Day coming up as well. Sounds like an excuse for a couple of themed charts.
