Starting off in glamour hot-spot St Tropez, the group do their best to avoid beginning with a wrong stroke at a caricature class.
Midsomer Murders (STV, 8.30pm)
NEIL Dudgeon and Nick Hendrix are back as DCI John Barnaby and DS Jamie Winter respectively, they have dealt with some extraordinary murders over the years, and the latest is pretty weird too. It begins in an ordinary way, with Barnaby reluctantly attending the marriage of his wife Sarah’s friend’s son. However, the bride, Laurel, never shows up because she’s been squeezed to death by her own wedding dress corset. Laurel had plenty of enemies, so there are plenty of suspects.
The Choir: Aylesbury Prison
(BBC2, 9pm) PART one of two. Gareth Malone undertakes a challenge to form a choir in HMYOI Aylesbury, a prison for young offenders serving sentences from four years to life. He meets Governor Laura Sapwell, who feels that a choir might be a different and unique way to engage with the young men as part of a programme aimed at trying to prevent people reoffending.
24 Hours in Police Custody
(C4, 9pm) THE first of two editions taking viewers behind the scenes of the police investigation into the premeditated and brutal murder of a young man after officers were called to woods in Hinchingbrooke Country Park in Cambridgeshire when a dog walker found a blood-soaked body. It quickly becomes clear that with no witnesses and no CCTV, there are few clues for DCI Adam Gallop to work with. Cameras follow every twist and turn of an enquiry that involves unravelling a twisted web of clues.
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
