Paloma Faith: As I Am (BBC2, 9pm)
SINGER Paloma Faith has enjoyed international success and multi-million album sales, which takes a lot of hard work. But in recent years, it has become even tougher as she’s found herself juggling the demands of her career with motherhood.
This documentary follows Paloma on an emotional journey as she attempts to combine a make-or-break tour, writing a new album and getting into acting with being a first-time mum.
While not everyone will have to return after their maternity leave to expectations that they are about to break America and Australia, many of the struggles she faces will strike a chord with other working mums.
Contributors include Rag’n’Bone Man, Ty Taylor and Jonas Blue as well as her band, management and family members.
Beat the Chasers – Celebrity Special (STV, 8.30pm)
FORMER EastEnder Shaun Williamson, athlete Christine Ohuruogu and comedian Joe Pasquale are among the brave celebrities taking on the Chasers in this charity special. They won’t be facing the whole team – sadly, Paul Sinha was ill at the time of recording and unable to take part. However, resident quiz experts Mark Labbett, Anne Hegerty, Shaun Wallace, Jenny Ryan and Darragh Ennis are still a pretty formidable line-up. As ever, Bradley Walsh will be asking the questions and giving the celebs a bit of moral support.
Keeping Faith (BBC1, 9pm)
THIS drama can claim to be a genuine word-of-mouth hit. It was first broadcast in Welsh with the title Un Bore Mercher on S4C in 2017, before the English version was broadcast on BBC Wales.
However, it was on iPlayer where the series really took off, becoming the service’s most downloaded non-network show. So, perhaps it’s not surprising that it was subsequently shown nationwide – and that the highly anticipated third and final series is going out on primetime Saturday nights.
It begins as Faith (Eve Myles) is dealing with a custody battle and an unwanted visitor. Work is also stressful as her new law firm takes on the case of a boy with a brain tumour, whose parents wish to overrule a local hospital trust.
Grace Kelly’s Missing Millions (C5, 9pm)
WHEN Grace Kelly died, her assets seemingly amounted to just $10,000 and a ramshackle cottage in Ireland. In this programme, financial guru Gemma Godfrey is on the hunt for Grace Kelly’s missing millions.
She takes a look at Grace’s privileged financial upbringing, her difficult relationship with her father, her struggle for self-sufficiency in New York, her head for business when negotiating her own contracts, and how, even though she was worth millions to Monaco, earned little for herself. With unique access to Kelly family wills and archives, Godfrey crunches the numbers.
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
