Dark Heart, STV, 9pm
It seems fitting that the first episode of this crime drama aired on Halloween – it has featured some very grisly murders. It gets off to a dramatic start when the body of a young woman is found in an east London church. DI Will Wagstaffe and the team get an apparent lead when it turns out that she has recently been dealing with a stalker, but is her tormentor responsible for her death or could her murder be linked to her complicated personal life?
Trust, BBC2, 9pm
It’s based on a true story but that hasn’t made this series about the Getty family any less gripping. The last episode is particularly intriguing as it explores how the Gettys and the Italians deal with the repercussions of the kidnapping, and follows Chace as he embarks on a new journey. While some aspects won’t come as news to those familiar with the tales, there may still be a few surprising revelations and intriguing suggestions – and, of course, there’s also that first-rate cast.
James Bulger: The New Revelations, C5, 9pm

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!
