Nadiya Bakes (BBC2, 8pm)
NADIYA Hussain believes that homemade biscuits are one of life’s greatest pleasures, and kicks off her penultimate episode with her simple but beautiful Italian-inspired amaretti biscuits, which are the perfect treat to have with a cup of tea. Next, she breaks all the rules with her tasty chicken doughnuts, deep-fried and topped with a spicy savoury dust. Also on the menu is a colourful traybake, laced with ginger and turmeric for the perfect bite-sized pick-me-up.

As a result, Margaret’s eldest daughter Charlotte (Jessica Brown-Findlay) has been left in charge of the family brothel, but things are not likely to run smoothly as her mother’s enemies are still around to make things difficult.

Tonight, she invites comedians Ellie Taylor and Geoff Norcott to look back on the year it all started, 2000.

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
