Jamie and Jimmy’s Friday Night Feast (C4, 8pm)
SINCE this series began in 2014, Jamie Oliver and Jimmy Doherty have brought us a mix of homegrown celebrities and international stars. So, our hosts shouldn't be too fazed in this episode when they find themselves cooking for Hollywood legend, Susan Sarandon. They’re bringing her a taste of New Orleans, a location that’s particularly close to the actress’s heart – she’s spent a lot of time filming there, most notably for the movie Dead Man Walking, which won her the Best Actress Oscar.
Would I Lie to You? (BBC1, 9pm)
THERE have been some great guests on Would I Lie to You? over the years, but many regular viewers would argue that one man in particular has stood out, and that’s Bob Mortimer. Whether it’s telling unlikely stories that turn out to be true or making ridiculous lies sound surprisingly plausible, he’s a master of the format. He’s back again tonight with host Rob Brydon, regular captains David Mitchell and Lee Mack and guests.
Not Going Out (BBC1, 9.30pm)
TO be fair, Lee doesn’t exactly seem like someone with his finger on the pulse, but some viewers may still be surprised that this episode finds him somewhat belatedly joining Facebook. Clearly, social media has completely passed him by. However, we shouldn’t expect Lucy (Sally Bretton) to be happy that he’s finally entering the digital age, as it isn’t long before he’s made contact with an ex-girlfriend from 20 years ago.
Hip Hop: The Songs That Shook America (BBC4, 10pm)
HIP hop has long crossed over into the mainstream, but it still maintains its power to stir up controversy and debate, as well as push musical boundaries. This series takes a closer look at some of the most influential and groundbreaking tracks the genre has produced, exploring the stories behind them, the social conditions that led to their composition and reasons they had an impact.
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
