The Great British Sewing Bee, BBC Two, 8pm
New series of the show which aims to find Britain's best amateur stitcher - or the best of those who haven't yet won this by-now-annual TV competition. As ever, suave tailor and Savile Row denizen Patrick Grant returns alongside May Martin from the Women's Institute to provide the expertise, and they're joined by regular presenter Claudia Winkleman. In tonight's opening episode the 10 new contestants have to work with cotton. Their first task is to make a pair of women's trousers - complete with invisible zip - and then it's a race against time as they try to run up a denim skirt for a real-life model in just 90 minutes.
Bloody Sunday, ITV3, 12.05am
Two years before he made The Bourne Supremacy and a decade before he was Oscar-nominated for Captain Phillips, British director Paul Greengrass tackled Don Mullan's book about the events of Sunday January 30 1972, when 13 civilians were shot dead by British soldiers during a march in Londonderry - the bloody Sunday of the title. Here we see Greengrass's trademark documentary style - handheld cameras grabbing fast, shaky shots - and a cast led by James Nesbitt, as SDLP founder and MP Ivan Cooper, the organiser of the march. Tim Piggot-Smith and Nicholas Farrell also feature. Powerful stuff.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
