Serengeti, BBC1, 8pm
THE aftermath of a devastating fire has left a blackened smoking wasteland, but rain soon brings hope to the scorched earth. Kike the cheetah and wild dog leader Jasari are both teaching their cubs how to survive on their own, only to be interrupted by a grieving giraffe.
A baby elephant struggles in the flooded river, while Bakari returns when his family are threatened by a rival baboon troop.
Lioness Kali has surprises in store which bring hope for the future of her pride, and as things draw to a close, a death brings all the families together in a remarkable truce. Last in the series.
The Secret Teacher, C4, 9pm
REMEMBER Secret Millionaire, the show in which rich businessmen and women went undercover in impoverished neighbourhoods? It came to an end in 2012, possibly because it was a victim of its own success – after six years on air, anyone who turned up at a community centre with a camera crew in tow was probably suspected of being a benefactor in disguise. But now Channel 4 is putting a twist on the format with this series, in which successful entrepreneurs, who were labelled as failures at school, go undercover in the classroom.
As well as learning more about the realities of the 21st-century education system, they’ll also be trying to identify youngsters who could benefit from their support. First up is marketing mogul Paul Rowlett, who is shocked by the facilities in a Hertfordshire school.
Fake or Fortune?, BBC1, 9pm
FIONA Bruce and Philip Mould investigate what could turn out to be one of the best bargains ever seen on the programme. Almost 30 years ago, Bob Kay bought a junk shop still life for £1.
If it turns out to be by Giorgio de Chirico, it could be worth up to £50,000. Fiona and Philip visit Rome, where de Chirico lived for most of his life, and while they learn a great deal about the painter’s status as a master of 20th-century art, they also discover he is widely faked.
However, they do come across some interesting documents with which to begin their investigation.
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
