Cornwall And Devon Walks With Julia Bradbury (STV, 8.30pm)
FROM the wilderness of Dartmoor to the soaring cliffs of Land’s End, this new series takes viewers to parts of the West Country that can only be explored on foot – from beautiful beaches to remote wilderness, ancient woodlands to winding estuaries. Julia begins with a 6.5-mile route on Cornwall’s most westerly point, visiting Land’s End, the famous white sands of Porthcurno beach, the historic cliff-top Minack Theatre and Sennen Cove.
The Truth About Boosting Your Immune System (BBC1, 9pm)
THE coronavirus pandemic has pushed our immune system centre stage. But how much do we all really know about how to keep it strong? Dr Ronx Ikharia, an emergency medicine doctor, delves into the latest science to find out what we can all do to make our immune system as healthy as possible. Ronx and professor Sheena Cruickshank, an immunologist at the University of Manchester, give a group of volunteers an “immune makeover” – changing their diet, exercise and sleep habits for six weeks to test the impact on their immune health.
Grand Designs (Channel 4, 9pm)
THE property show returns for a new run, as Kevin McCloud follows more of Britain’s most ambitious self-build projects. Former army captain Justin has spent £1.8 million on an abandoned neo-Gothic cemetery keeper’s lodge and adjoining former council toilet block in south-west London. Justin’s vision is to restore the lodge but demolish the ugly toilet block and replace it with an enormous luxury ground floor extension, with added moat and giant basement with a swimming pool.
Salvage Hunters: Classic Cars (Quest, 9pm)
SALVAGE aficionado Drew Pritchard and Paul Cowland are back for a fifth series as they scour the UK, buying, restoring and selling classic cars. Tonight, Paul wants to buy a Citroen DS, but Drew has reservations. This banged-up front-engine, front-wheel-drive executive car is priced at £6500, which Drew feels is a bit pricey bearing in mind how much work needs done on the vehicle. Will the guys take it on, and if they do, will they make a profit?
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
