Police Interceptors (C5, 8pm)
AFTER a tram stop robbery in Bulwell, the interceptors are on the hunt for two suspects allegedly armed with a gun. Dan and Jim spot a pair who fit the description, but the suspects vanish over a railway footbridge. Out on the roads, following reports of a driver failing to stop for police in Lincolnshire, Bruce and Chalkie are called in to deliver the stinger. The pair set up just over a roundabout, but will the driver take the exit with a sting?
Ghosts (BBC1, 8.30pm)
THE delightfully silly sitcom about a young couple, Alison (Charlotte Ritchie) and Mike (Kiell Smith-Bynoe), who inherited a dilapidated mansion, only to discover they were sharing it with an assortment of ghosts, is back for a welcome third series. It begins when a documentary team arrives at Button House. They’re not there to investigate the paranormal, but to look into a historical assassination plot – and Alison and the ghosts are shocked to realise it involves one of their own.
Celebrity MasterChef (BBC1, 9pm)
THE cooking contest is back with a line-up that is eclectic even by Celebrity MasterChef standards – this first episode alone features a rare chance to see actress Su Pollard and Happy Mondays legend Bez together. Their first challenge is the brand new Under The Cloche. As the name suggests, each celeb will be given a cloche, under which is a different ingredient. They must then rustle up a dish with the ingredient they have been given.
Long Lost Family (STV, 9pm)
THE series continues with two more moving stories involving separation. The first person to ask Nicky Campbell, Davina McCall and the team for help is a man whose only memento of his birth mother and siblings is an old newspaper article which reveals that they were squatting in an airfield after being evicted from their home. They also hear from a mother who is searching for the child she hasn’t seen since he was 10 days old.
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
