Eat Well for Less? (BBC1, 8pm)
TONIGHT, Gregg Wallace and Chris Bavin tackle a common problem in households across the country – getting families to eat the same food. Aliyah and Ajaz Ahmed and their young family live a hectic life near Glasgow and as they have very different tastes, they rarely consume the same meal. The couple ask the hosts to help them figure out ways to eat together and reduce the amount of red meat and costly takeaways they get through. While Gregg advises the couple on how cut down on waste, Chris helps them create a healthier version of Ajaz’s favourite takeaway.
Being Frank: The Frank Gardner Story (BBC2, 9pm)
ON June 6, 2004, BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner and cameraman Simon Cumbers were ambushed by Al Qaeda gunmen in Saudi Arabia. Simon was killed and Frank shot six times and left partially paralysed and unable to walk. He has used a wheelchair ever since. Fifteen years on, he continues to travel the world reporting for the BBC after returning to his role in 2005. However, he says he has never got used to his paralysis, and in this deeply personal film, he talks candidly about the challenges of suddenly becoming disabled.

It’s been 15 years since the first contestants made their way into the infamous boardroom and Lord Sugar, Baroness Brady and Claude Littner reminisce about the reality series’ most impressively accomplished tasks and those that ended in cringe-inducing failure.
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
