The Game, BBC Two, 9pm
John le Carré should probably sue the BBC over this stylish spy drama, so brazenly have they appropriated his world of tradecraft and dead letter drops. No matter: Sarah Dollard's 1970s-set series is great fun. Every time Paul Ritter's Bobby Waterhouse refers to spy boss Brian Cox as "Daddy" you want to snigger, but there's a great counterpoint in Tom Hughes's performance as the darkly troubled Joe Lambe. In tonight's third episode, the team continue to investigate Operation Glass and Arkady (Marcel Iures) reveals the name of the latest KGB sleeper agent - Russian speaker Kate Wilkinson, played with gusto by Rachel Stirling.
The Secret World Of Tinder, Channel 4, 10pm
If you're still using a dial-up internet connection and a mobile that only makes phone calls, you probably won't have heard of Tinder. If so, here's the gen: it's a location-based app which allows people to find other social media users with similar interests and, er, proclivities and who, importantly, are nearby. Mostly it's used either for dating or for what used to be called casual sex but is now known as "a hook-up". Got that? Excellent. Against this slightly salacious backdrop, Channel 4 gives Tinder and its users - or "Tinderellas" if you prefer - the documentary treatment in a programme which looks at both the benign and the potentially dangerous side of dating 21st century style.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
