Escape To The Chateau: Make Do And Mend (C4, 8pm)
WITH millions of families stuck indoors, the significance of being able to feel at home in the places we live has never felt stronger. In this series, Dick and Angel Strawbridge help families tackle their design and DIY dilemmas. From their home in France, via the internet, Team Strawbridge attend to problem projects in sheds, attics, gardens, living rooms and allotments. In episode one, Angel helps Miriam get over the blues by transforming her 1970s bathroom into a relaxing sanctuary – without changing either the suite or the tiles. And Dick helps teach Phil the ancient art of cheese smoking. Together the duo also advise Tom and Sim on bringing their unique front door into the 21st century.
Outlander (More4, 9pm)
THE drama wraps up its fourth season in style with an exciting and emotional episode.

Meanwhile, Brianna worries that her family – and the father of her child – might not return to River Run. Finally, Jamie receives word that Governor Tryon has an assignment for him and that he will be pressed into service for the British Crown (something he undoubtedly wanted to avoid). It all points to a fair few tricky decisions during the fifth series.

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!
