Horne & Corden BBC3, 10.30pm
Tonight sees the first episode of the new comedy sketch show hosted by Mathew Horne and James Corden, stars of the hit sitcom Gavin & Stacey. The pair host the show as themselves in front a studio audience while also playing a wide range of characters.
James is overexcited about the fact that he and Mat have their own show, which has disastrous results. Meanwhile, viewers are introduced to Xander, an old boarding school chum from hell, and Tim Goodall, the gayest news reporter ever.
My Strike BBC4, 9pm Drawing on a time when millions of days were lost to industrial action each year in Britain, this programme explores the experience of going on strike and the impact it has on individuals on both sides of a dispute.
Women machinists at the Ford plant in Dagenham incurred the wrath of husbands and families when they forced the temporary closure of their factory in the fight for pay parity in 1968. Ian Lowes, who led the gravediggers' strike in 1979, tells how they faced physical attack from furious members of the public unable to bury their dead.
And former newspaper boss and one-time reluctant striker Eddie Shah who saw striking as out-and-out war recounts some of the dirty tricks he claims print unions used when he confronted them.
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
