Dog (Channing Tatum, 2022), 7pm, Film4
Channing Tatum could have made any film he wanted for his directorial debut, and it's telling that he ended up making Dog. On the surface, Dog is a Turner & Hooch rip-off about an army ranger who has to escort his dead friend's dog across the country to be put down. However, the number of layers Tatum manages to fold in are incredible. There's comedy, and a surprisingly clear-eyed take on mental health in the military. And you'll probably cry at the end. So much better than it needed to be. Stuart Heritage

Stacey Solomon spotted in Scotland filming latest BBC show Sort Your Life Out
Stacey Solomon and her Sort Your Life Out team have touched down in Scotland, sharing a group photo and asking for suggestions on how to make the most of their trip. Stacey Solomon is back with a new series of Sort Your Life Out, the hit BBC show where she and her expert team help families declutter and reorganise their homes, not only does the team offer practical advice they offer emotional support as families part ways with sentimental items and transform their living spaces. The show's team - known as the Dollies - and Stacey have now taken their organising mission to Scotland, where filming for the latest series is underway. Sharing a glimpse behind the scenes, Dollies took to social media with an update: "Hello Scotland. What a week to be filming here…we all feel like we are abroad surrounded by the most incredible scenery and views. What an incredible family already who we can't wait to spend the week helping. This family is like no other..." Clearly enjoying the Scottish setting, they also asked fans for local recommendations, adding: "What shouldn't we miss while we are here? Around the Edinburgh area..." In the picture, Stacey and her expert team - made up of professional organiser Dilly Carter, cleaning expert Iwan Carrington and carpenter and joiner specialist Robert Bent - are posing together for a selfie as all four beam from ear-to-ear. The BAFTA nominated series previously called out for Scottish families who were willing to take part in the latest series of the show, and it looks like filming is now underway. Stacey Solomon and the Sort Your Life Out team previously travelled to Scotland during season four of the show, which aired last year. On that occasion, they stepped in to help a family with three small children who were struggling to manage the overwhelming clutter in their home. The mum of the household, Charlie, revealed that she works full-time, while her husband Keith stays at home to care for their three children. However, with Keith focused on looking after the kids the housework often takes a back seat. As a result, the home had become overrun with clutter, from mountains of toys to piles of clothes, making it difficult for the family, who live in Bonnybridge, to even move around comfortably in their own space. Sadly for Charlie, she had to go back to work just three months after having her youngest child which meant that Keith took some time off work to look after their kids - but it appeared Keith has been busy putting the kids first and avoiding cleaning. Stacey ended up emotionally invested in the family, as she was worried about the state of the house the children were growing up in. Inspecting the house, the crew revealed an overwhelming amount of belongings, including 131 pairs of shoes, 29 tins of paint, 30 remote controls, 22 toothbrushes, and 500 items of baby clothes. Keith had 144 t-shirts. Although the amount of stuff was no match for Stacey and her team, as they managed to declutter the once messy house into a liveable area.

David Mitchell's heartbreaking three-word confession about wife Victoria Coren
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info David Mitchell has opened up about the profound melancholy that loomed over his earlier years, which he discusses in his memoir 'Back Story'. In his heartrending disclosure, the Peep Show actor confessed to being "hopelessly in love" with Victoria Coren, who is now his wife, harbouring his unspoken affections for years before they finally got together, despite her initially rejecting him. "I was hopelessly in love. I told no one about it," he reveals in his book. "I didn't tell my closest friends or my parents of the enormous sadness that overshadowed my life." The adoration he felt for Victoria lingered in silence until she consented to a date years later. "I waited three years. Isn't that weird? Aren't I odd? I can't explain it other than to say I couldn't do anything else," he reflects in his writing. "If only I'd known I just had to wait three years... I would gladly have suffered ten times as much." Although he was devastated, the sharp-witted star kept his anguish well-concealed behind his characteristic self-effacing humour. "The problem is, I hate the sort of dating thing," he admits, reports the Express. "I just find it incredibly awkward... I don't dislike being single enough to put myself through the pain." David and Victoria, now host of BBC's Only Connect, instantly hit it off at their fatefully timed meeting during a Halloween party in 2007, having been introduced by fellow comedian David Baddiel. Victoria confessed: "He specifically said to me, 'There's David Mitchell over there, I think you should probably marry him, I'll get the ball rolling by introducing you. I thought that was ridiculous but, a couple of hours later, I thought I would probably marry him," as reported by MSN. Initially, Victoria brushed off the suggestion, but by the end of the night, she was sold on the idea. Despite their instant connection, it took several years before they embarked on their first official date. "I thought that was ridiculous, but a couple of hours later, I thought I would probably marry him," she reminisces. Although they hit it off immediately, the timing wasn't quite right. Victoria was still grieving the loss of her father, Alan Coren, who died from cancer in 2007. David patiently bided his time, never pressuring her but always nurturing the hope of a shared future. Their first official date eventually happened in 2010, and they tied the knot in 2012. David has never shied away from expressing his deep love for Victoria. "I am just incredibly proud that someone like Victoria wants to be with me," he declares. "She has these amazing qualities, but fundamentally, we clicked. I fell in love with her." In his memoir, he portrays her as "too wonderful" and "too right for me." The couple celebrated the birth of their two daughters - Barbara Elizabeth in 2015 and June Violet in 2023.

Man wrongly accused of felling Sycamore Gap tree 'wears Rod Stewart wig' to hide
A man who was arrested over the felling of the iconic Sycamore Gap tree says he's taken unusual measures to avoid public abuse. Walter Renwick, a lumberjack, was arrested the day after the popular tree was felled in September 2023. The 70ft tree – which featured in 1991 Kevin Costner movie Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves – sat in a gap in Hadrian's Wall and was one of the most beloved trees in the UK. But it was chopped down in the middle of the night. Two friends, called 'moronic' by a judge, have been found guilty of criminal damage over the felling. Mr Renwick, 69, was released without charge by December 2023. He spoke out at the time, saying he was not 'stupid' enough to cut down the tree – but it public outcry against the tree felling means Mr Renwick is still associated with the Sycamore Gap. Speaking to the BBC yesterday, he described his home in Northumberland being searched as 'heartbreaking' and said he would be pointed out in the street. Mr Renwick of the police searches: 'There were police everywhere, drones flying around the valley, divers in the lake, they were 100% certain I'd done it. 'Every time I went shopping in Haltwhistle or Hexham, people were nudging each other and saying 'that's him that cut the tree down', stuff like that. 'I know it was daft but I put a Rod Stewart wig on so people didn't spot me.' Months before the Sycamore Gap tree was felled, Mr Renwick had been evicted from Plankey Mill Farm near Bardon Mill, just a few miles from Hadrian's Wall. The tenancy held by his grandfather and father had not passed to him – and this led to online sleuths suggesting the eviction was his motivation for chopping down the tree. 'I'd just lost everything I had, my cows, my sheep, my parents' stuff. I'd lost my home and then this,' Mr Renwick said. Daniel Graham, 39, and Adam Carruthers, 32, both from Cumbria, were both found guilty by an unanimous jury of criminal damage at Newcastle crown court in May. More Trending Discussing the true culprits, Mr Renwick said: 'I just keep asking myself why they did it. 'Was it just attention seeking? I don't know what it was but, for me at least, it's over. 'Actually, you know, the tree, that was one thing. But losing my farm. That was the thing that hurt most of all.' Got a story?
