Gary Lineker on the Road to FA Cup Glory (BBC1, 10.45pm)

MOST small boys recall their first glimpse of the FA Cup Final on TV. Mine was a grainy, postcard-sized black and white screen on a set in my grandmother's sitting room playing some frantic action from Nottingham Forest against Luton in 1959; followed by the awesome sight in 1960 of Wolverhampton Wanderers player Norman Deeley meeting the "magic sponge" of the trainer after getting injured against Blackburn, beautifully described by Kenneth Wolstenholme as always.

Now we're just days away from the return to Wembley of David Cameron's favourite football team Aston Villa (unless someone tells him they're really West Ham) and Arsenal.

The Gunners will start as favourites, and Arsene Wenger's team will be desperate to retain the trophy they won in dramatic style against Hull City last year.

While all eyes will be on both teams next Saturday, Gary Lineker is more interested in the journey clubs who took part in this year's FA Cup took, and hears from players who have enjoyed success in the competition.

Lineker has won the cup himself, when he was part of Tottenham Hotspur's triumphant 1991 team. Lineker had a penalty saved during the match by Nottingham Forest's goalkeeper Mark Crossley. The game is, however, perhaps most memorable for Paul Gascoigne's manic spell on the pitch, which ended when he tore his cruciate knee ligaments.

Although ITV has recently hosted the final, the BBC feels like its natural home and the Beeb ends this six-year hiatus with a host of cup final related programmes on Saturday. "We haven't quite got Cup Final It's A Knockout, but we're giving it bags of support," says Lineker, who admits shedding tears in 1969 when Leicester City were beaten 1-0 by Manchester City.

"I think it's pretty deplorable when middle-of-the-road Premier League teams played weakened squads, usually because managers are under pressure from owners. I didn't like to see the cup final not being the last game of the season, but now it is again," he adds.

Among those contributing to this fascinating documentary is Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, who surprisingly reveals that losing to Bradford City in this season's competition is one of his two favourite FA Cup experiences, while Roberto Martinez recalls the feelings involved in leading minnows Wigan to victory against mighty Manchester City in 2013.

Steven Gerrard describes the ecstasy of a last-minute cup final equaliser, while his former team-mate Michael Owen reveals why May 12, 2001, is a day he would love to live again.

But arguably the most moving moment should be Fabrice Muamba's return to the hospital where his life was saved after his heart stopped during an FA Cup tie his Bolton side was playing against Spurs in 2012.

Kirstie and Phil's Love It or List It (Channel 4, 8pm)

WHEN you feel like you've outgrown your home, you are usually faced with a tough, but straightforward, decision: do we buy something bigger or extend? That is the dilemma facing rugby fan Ian and his wife, Sarah, in Brixham, Northamptonshire. With a toddler and a couple of dogs also sharing their house, Ian wants to leave their two-bed rural semi. However, Sarah disagrees, and believes with a bit of work and investment the property has the potential to house a growing family. And she has the backing of Kirstie Allsopp who thinks it'd be a good idea to drive a digger through the conservatory.
