Weasels: Feisty And Fearless (BBC2, 8pm)
OFTEN portrayed as villains of the natural world and associated with unsavoury behaviour, weasels have had a bad press over the years. To find out whether they deserve this reputation, we follow first-time stoat mum Bandita as she raises her kits
in a weasel wonderland where there are 50 hidden cameras. We meet a half-ounce orphaned least weasel called Twiz, who embarks on her journey back to the wild. Viewers also discover how a weasel’s bite is stronger than a tiger’s, and how a ferret can move around so impressively in a burrow.
The Name Of The Rose (BBC2, 9pm)
AFTER William finds Adso and deduces the meaning of the verses of the Apocalypse on the library frescoes, he begins to suspect that Remigio and Salvatore were followers of Dolcino. When Adso asks for a book about the Dolcinians in the library, he arouses the suspicions and disapproval of Malachia and Benno, who warn him to avoid such heretical texts. The papal delegation continues to advance, leaving death and destruction in its wake. John Turturro and Rupert Everett star.

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
