Cruising with Jane McDonald (C5, 9pm)
On the second leg of the jaunt along the Kennet & Avon canal, Simon Callow lets his love of history steer the way to a forgotten waterway. He and fellow group members Nigel Havers, Debbie McGee and Lorraine Chase's sightseeing antics get the better of them when they find themselves late to their mooring, forcing them to wait until sunrise for the final furlong. The Cain Hill Flight awaits with its 29 locks, and it remains to be seen whether the narrow boat enthusiasts can successfully work together to negotiate this colossus of the canals.
The Team (More4, 9pm)
Investigators from Belgium, Denmark and Germany join forces to investigate a series of murders in this compelling new drama. However, the crime-busters soon discover that a sophisticated criminal network is behind them. In Antwerp, Berlin and Copenhagen, three prostitutes are found dead, each shot through the left eye and had a finger cut off. All of the victims had been visited hours earlier by Belgian journalist Jean-Louis Poquelin. Harald Bjorn from Denmark, Jackie Mueller from Germany and Alicia Verbeek from Belgium race against the clock to find the killer before they strike again.

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
