One Night In The Museum, (BBC Scotland, 8pm)
ONE Night in the Museum follows primary school children from around Scotland on a journey of discovery as they visit some of Britain’s greatest museums after hours. No teachers, no parents, just millions of years of history for them to delve into. With no adults to help or hinder them, it’s up to the kids to navigate a labyrinth of learning on their own. Watching the night visitors in this four-part documentary series are the museum’s curators, whose job it is to bring the past to life. They’ll see the children’s imaginations spark as they encounter strange and beautiful objects from the past, offering a light-hearted commentary along the way.

Alan Reed from Warwick hopes upholstery expert Hannah Weston Smith can restore his little piece of history, a leather armchair that belonged to his grandparents, while Steve Kember and Will Kirk take a look at a Polyphon music box. Elsewhere, a faded portrait with a touching history and a shattered stained glass door panel are also restored back to their former glory.

Scotland is in lockdown. Shops are closing and newspaper sales are falling fast. It’s no exaggeration to say that the future of The National is at stake.

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
