Kids In Crisis, Channel 4, 10pm
One-off documentary about children with mental illnesses and the difficulties they and their families face in getting the right kind of treatment as welfare budgets and local services are cut across the UK. Director Alison Millar turns her camera on four such children: 13-year-old Oli and 17-year-old Chloe, who have to travel out of their native Cornwall to receive treatment because there are no psychiatric beds in the county any more; 15-year-old Beth, who is treated 120 miles away from her Hill home; and Emily, who has to leave Northern Ireland and travel to England for treatment for an eating disorder. Heart-rending stuff.
Destry Rides Again, Film4, 5.20pm
Fans of Westerns have their hands full these days, with the daytime schedules choked with an awful lot of bad and ugly examples of the genre, and very few good ones. This, though, is in that last category, a classic from 1939 which pits saloon-dwelling Marlene Dietrich and her lawless boyfriend Brian Donlevy against the one and only Jimmy Stewart as Tom Destry. He's the son of the former sheriff of the town of Bottleneck, who rides in to find the place has taken a turn for the worse. So, despite not carrying a sidearm, he decides to clean up the mess - but not before Dietrich has sung a song or two.
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
