Ugly House to Lovely House with George Clarke (C4, 8pm)
In the past this show has been criticised for being “unrelatable” and “unrealistic” with the people involved going well over budget and throwing tens or even hundreds of thousands of pounds at projects. Tonight, George oversees perhaps the most radical transformation to date. Among the elegant Victorian and Edwardian properties in south west London sits Matt and Kevin’s 1930s monstrosity – a home that stands out from the crowd for all the wrong reasons.
GPs: Behind Closed Doors (C5, 8pm)
All too often, men put off going to see a GP when they suspect they have a health problem – sometimes until it is too late. The clear message from the Hall Green GPs is that men need to get out of this dangerous habit and get themselves to their doctor’s surgery more often. Dr Qamar conducts a mental-health review with journalist Zahid, who has PTSD after being imprisoned and tortured in Afghanistan.
The Trump Show (BBC2, 9pm)
It’s the second year of his term and Donald Trump is finding his feet as president. However, his past threatens to catch up with him, as adult film star Stormy Daniels claims she was paid to keep quiet about a sexual encounter. There is also a look at the president’s biggest challenge to date – the 2016 scandal when recordings of Trump talking about “grabbing women” came to light.
The Apprentice Best Bits (BBC1, 9pm)
IT’S Lord Sugar’s favourite part of the competition. Every year, each batch of candidates seemingly compete to come up with the worst-possible ideas, so prepare to snigger and squirm as this compilation show reminds us of 15 years of showstoppers and show shockers. They will perhaps include Raef “the gent” Bjayou’s “I heart tissues” campaign, a cleaning octopus called Octi-Kleen, Felipe Alviar-Baquero’s “daddy fitness programme” and Philip Taylor’s Pants Man?
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
