Holocaust: The Revenge Plot (C4, 9pm)
THIS documentary makes use of previously undisclosed recordings and candid interviews to tell the story of the Avengers, a secret organisation of Holocaust survivors who came up with a brutal plot in 1946 to seek vengeance on behalf of the six million Jews killed by Hitler and the Nazis. In the dying days of the Second World War, “warrior-poet” Abba Kovner felt only “an eye for an eye” could redress the balance of justice. With the help of like-minded individuals, Kovner planned to murder six million Germans by infiltrating cities and poisoning water supplies.
Spiral (BBC4, 9pm)
AS the French crime drama nears the end of its sixth series, violence flares up after a police officer shoots an unarmed man. Josephine’s sense of injustice leads her to vent her frustration in the Bodin case, while Tintin feels he is being intentionally kept in the dark. Then in the second episode, Laure and her team turn their attention to tracking down a missing teenager Maria when it becomes clear their work in gathering evidence against Drissa Camara is going nowhere fast. Meanwhile, Roban is unnerved when he is forced to testify in court in his own defence.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
