Jamie And Jimmy’s Friday Night Feast (Channel 4, 8pm)
IF you think some people are getting rather too close to each other during the new run of Jamie Oliver and Jimmy Doherty’s popular series, that’s probably because it was filmed in 2019, when none of us had even heard of the coronavirus. The first celebrity visitor to their bistro on Southend Pier is comedian Jack Dee, who shares tales of his time as a chef at the Ritz. Oliver also prepares a meal involving rotisserie chicken that brings back memories of childhood camping holidays for Dee.
Susan Calman’s Grand Day Out (Channel 5, 8pm)

Taking in the Lake District, Devon and Cornwall, Wales, Yorkshire, the Cotswolds and her native Scotland, Susan will explore six breathtakingly beautiful, quintessentially British places and meet some amazing characters along the way.
Would I Lie to You? (BBC1, 9pm)
ROB Brydon returns to host a new run of the comedy panel show.

They’ll be joined in the first episode by Les Dennis, Richard Osman, Alice Levine and Lou Sanders.
Rebecka Martinsson: Arctic Murders (More4, 9pm)
THE Swedish mystery series makes its long-awaited return. Taking on the titular role made famous by Ida Engvoll (who is an executive producer on the new season), is actress Sascha Zacharias. In the opening two-parter, local Sami families of reindeer herders are involved in a long-time feud. When poaching and retaliation sparks violence, the feud appears to lead to the death of one of the young herders. As Krister and Rebecka start investigating, his heritage comes to light, and she is tempted by the offer of a new job.
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
