I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! Coming Out (STV, 9pm)
THAT’S almost it for another year. The famous faces (and folks we have never heard of) have survived their time in the jungle, and the winner has been announced. But before we call it a day, there’s this obligatory episode where we see assorted celebs arriving back at a swanky hotel, jumping on beds (who can blame them?), reflecting on their time in camp, and the reaction of the press and public. After-show parties can be a little awkward, especially if some celebs wound others up, so it’s anyone’s guess how this year’s edition goes. However, there’s a good bet we’ll see plenty of clips of the biggest star in this series Caitlyn Jenner.
Make A Wish For Christmas (C5, 9pm)
WE’RE still 13 days away from Christmas, but this might be the most moving programme of the festive season. It’s the first in a two-part documentary about Make-A-Wish UK, a charity that grants wishes to children with life-threatening conditions. The dedicated team help children enjoy all manner of experiences, from visiting Milan fashion week and sleeping with tigers to sharing their lunch with their favourite football team and meeting Santa in Lapland.
Election 2019: (BBC1, 9.55pm)
LAURA Miller will be mapping out the story with state-of-the-art graphics, Rebecca Curran will bring the latest news as the results roll in and Martin Geissler will be getting the reaction to the big stories from important figures. BBC Scotland will be at every count, ensuring all the key moments are captured as they happen. The following day, December 13, Sally Magnusson will take up the story for BBC One Scotland from Westminster as the country digests the results.
C4 Alternative Election Night (C4, 9.55pm)
IF you like your election coverage to be less serious than the usual number-crunching, then this is the show for you. Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Katherine Ryan and Rylan Clark-Neal will be giving us the lowdown on the story as it unfolds, and they have a lot of help. Clare Balding delivers results as they happen; Matt Forde runs the Alternative News Desk, and Rob Rinder will be assessing the mood on the ground.
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
