Stand up to Cancer 2018, Channel 4, 7pm
ONE in two of us will get cancer in our lifetime, and with research not coming cheap, it’s a good job that the likes of Adam Hills, Alan Carr and Maya Jama are doing something about it. They launch the latest star-studded night of fundraising, and there’s no shortage of celebs taking part. Michael Buble and James Corden will star in Carpool Karaoke and there are sketches, appearances and performances from the likes of John Legend, Little Mix, Gareth Southgate, the Muppets, Davina McCall and many more.
David Bowie at Glastonbury 2000, BBC4, 10.55pm
ON Sunday, June 25, 2000, David Bowie closed Glastonbury with a two-hour performance. It was the rock legend’s first appearance at the festival since 1971, and should have been screened in all its glory. However, around 30 minutes of the set was broadcast on BBC TV that night at the star’s insistence. Thankfully cameras kept rolling and captured the whole set for posterity. This programme features an hour of highlights from that performance, including such previously un-broadcast hit songs as Ashes to Ashes, Starman and Let’s Dance. A glorious reminder of one of the most unique and sorely missed talents in showbusiness.

Plus, Graham introduces another bunch of intrepid audience members who are willing to recount an anecdote from the dreaded red chair.
Walking Britain’s Lost Railways, C5, 9pm

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
