Out There, STV, 10.25pm
WHERE else could you see one-liner specialists Darren Walsh and Mark Simmons trading gags in a hot tub; hyperbolic comic Tom Allen stepping into the shoes of a stressed-out teacher in a school classroom; and Bad Move actress Kerry Godliman performing her routines from inside a Victorian folly? The answer: this stand-up show in which comedians perform hilarious routines and jokes in real-world locations, rather than on the stage at a comedy club. The above quartet, as well as Milton Jones, Zoe Lyons, Ed Gamble, Rhys James, Ivo Graham and London Hughes, all take part in this show devised by Mock the Week co-creator Dan Patterson.
Edwardian Britain In Colour, C5, 8pm
PART one of a two-part documentary in which social historians examine surviving film footage of Britain in the early years of the 20th century. The first episode features footage of Queen Victoria’s state funeral in 1901 and a bicycle parade celebrating the coronation of the new king. The programme also examines life for people employed in the mining and cotton industries, as well as how an increase in leisure time led to the the popularity of seaside resorts soaring, with Blackpool leading the way.
Trapped, BBC4, 9pm
THE second series of the Icelandic drama continues with another double bill. Ketill is released but his sons are still the best lead the police have. With Skuli still at large, a full search-and-rescue operation is mounted, but what kind of state will he be in when he is finally found? Meanwhile Mayor Hafdis is still being threatened by a mysterious opponent but is determined to conceal it until the deal is signed. And Torfi drops a hint that Hammer of Thor are planning something big, but Andri and Hinrika have very little time to work out what it is.
Through The Keyhole, STV, 9.25pm
IT’S the last in the current run of the classic game-show revival and Keith Lemon snoops around and ransacks three more mystery celebrity homes. In between the VTs, the host challenges the panel –comedian Rob Beckett, journalist and broadcaster Janet Street-Porter and Channel 4 newsreader Krishnan Guru-Murthy – to guess “who habitates in a house like this?” But can the trio successfully identify the homes’ famous occupants without the host and the audience giving it away?
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!
