The Dog House (C4, 8pm)

AFTER a hugely successful debut series, cameras are back at Wood Green, The Animals Charity in Cambridgeshire which takes in hundreds of discarded, disowned or neglected dogs every year in the hope of matching them with loving owners. In the first episode of the new run, an eight-stone Newfoundland makes a favourable first impression on the Coxon family, but staff are worried that his habit of showering everyone with a spray of slobber may take some of the gloss off. And nine-week-old French bulldog Kevin competes with a nervous terrier to win the hearts of loved-up couple Ryan and Katie. Meanwhile, a recently widowed grandmother is looking for another “beating heart” to help fill a home that is feeling very empty.

Return to Dunblane with Lorraine Kelly (ITV, 9pm)

It remains the most lethal mass shooting on British soil. On March 13, 1996, gunman Thomas Hamilton shot 16 children and their teacher dead in the gym hall of Dunblane Primary School, before killing himself. Saturday marks the 25th anniversary of the massacre in the small town town near Stirling, but a quarter of a century on, the events of that day understandably still remain raw for the survivors and families of the victims. Another person who remembers the fateful day very vividly is Lorraine Kelly, who reported on the horror for GMTV. In this deeply moving and personal programme, she speaks to survivors and families and highlights the enduring spirit and resilience of the Dunblane community, who came together to change UK gun ownership laws as a result of the attack.
