Coronation Street: Soapy Slip Ups (STV, 8pm)
Coronation Street celebrates its 60th anniversary later this year, so it should be running like a well-oiled machine. In reality, the cast are just as likely to fall prey to misbehaving props, wardrobe malfunctions, unfortunate attacks of the giggles and missed lines as any other actors. Simon Gregson, Jimmi Harkishin, Ben Price, Jane Danson and Jack P Shepherd (aka Steve, Dev, Nick, Leanne and David) are among the stars talking us though their biggest bloopers in this special.
Who Do You Think You Are? (BBC1, 9pm)
Sadly, the current run of the fascinating genealogy show has been shorter than usual as production had to be halted due to coronavirus. But the fourth and final instalment looks set to be just as interesting as the rest. Perhaps unsurprisingly given her detective drama background, actress Liz Carr – Clarissa in Silent Witness – is intrigued by the rumour that one of her ancestors was linked to an assault. As she delves further into the story, she discovers her great-great-great grandfather was involved in an attempted murder in Northern Ireland in the 1850s.
The Bridge (C4, 9pm)
It's the last episode of the reality show, and the group wakes up to the news that one of their numbers has sabotaged their hard work in return for £10,000 from the prize fund. It’s enough to make one of the remaining contestants consider throwing in the towel, while the newly elected leader is also in the firing line. Can the team put aside their feelings of betrayal and disappointment and rebuild the bridge and reach what’s left of the money?
Deliveroo: Secrets of Your Takeaway (C4, 10pm)
As Britain’s fastest-growing food delivery company, Deliveroo has revolutionised the takeaway industry, but it’s not the only change food outlets have faced this year. Filmed over eight months, this documentary follows Deliveroo’s computer programmers, app developers and salespeople as they manage a network of restaurants and delivery riders. It also hears from some of the company’s key restaurant partners who are faced with the discovery that, at the height of lockdown, takeaways may be their only way to make a living.
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!
