It’s not all about

Eve: Jodie Comer

Drive, he said:

Ryan O’Neal

Reigning

champions:

Manchester City

Will this season be as

dramatic as the last?

Time to find out...

● FOOTBALL / 12noon / BT Sport 1

LIVE

It’s the first

Saturday of the

new Premier

League season, with title holders

Man City beginning their

campaign at West Ham (k-o

12.30pm). If the Hammers want

to better last season’s 10th spot,

much of their success may

weigh on the shoulders of new

star Sebastien Haller. The

imposing 6ft 3in French forward

is their record signing (said to

be around £ 4 0- 4 5million) and

if he can replicate the form he

showed last season at Eintracht

Frankfurt, where he scored 15

goals and made nine assists in

29 appearances, West Ham

will think his price tag more

than worth it. As usual, there’s

plenty of analysis on Football

Focus, Final Score and Match

of the Day on BBC1 and Red

Button. ★★★★^ NP

The Driver
● FILM / 10.10pm / Talking Pictures TV
First time on telly for 10 years, a gritty, moody and
brilliantly shot ‘one last job’ thriller starring Ryan O’Neal
as a crack driver reluctantly being coaxed into using his
rubber-burning skills... or else. Co-stars include Bruce
Dern and Isabelle Adjani, but it’s O’Neal’s film and he
puts in a performance so superbly impassive that it’s no
wonder Ryan Gosling lifted whole chunks of it for 2011’s
cult semi-remake, Drive. ★★★★ SM
Thirteen
● DRAMA / BBC iPlayer
Is there a Villanelle-shaped hole in your Saturday-night
TV viewing? If so, the next best thing to Killing Eve’s
charismatic assassin is to watch the actor who plays her,
Jodie Comer, in BBC iPlayer’s drama box sets Thirteen and
Rillington Place. In the former, she’s a young woman who
escapes after being held captive for 13 years by a kidnapper,
while in the latter she’s Beryl Evans, one of the victims of
notorious serial killer John ‘Reg’ Christie. ★★★★ JP
