20:30-21:00 brand new series.1/8.Paul O'Grady:For The Love of the Dogs.(Series 6).Episode 1
There is nowhere in the world like Battersea Dogs & Cats Home and self-confessed canine addict Paul O’Grady is delighted to be back for a brand new series of the award-winning, heart-warming and at times heart-breaking programme.
In each of the eight episodes Paul brings us stories guaranteed to lead to tears of sadness as well as tears of joy and laughter, as we meet more of Battersea’s canine residents looking for love, care and a new home. 
In episode one we meet a litter of Dalmatian pups, a supersized Shar Pei cross who needs to get down to the gym and a gorgeous Yorkie with a serious body odour problem.
The tiny Yorkie is brought into Lost and Found at Battersea, after being discovered wandering around Battersea Park. She is named Wilma by the staff and is completely infested with fleas, scratching so much that her fur has fallen out. Paul takes Wilma for a soothing bath and despite her current unbearable aroma, he is smitten: “She’s the business this dog, you’d think she’d keep away after what she’s been through, but she’s so friendly and so loving.” Freshly bathed, pampered and shown a lot of love, Wilma is ready for a nice walk in the sunshine and Paul is happy to oblige. As soon as her hair grows back, she’ll be ready for a new home, assuming Paul can bear to let her go, of course.
Meanwhile, chunky four-year-old Shar Pei cross Max is tipping the scales at almost double his recommended weight. Paul squeezes into his kennel to see if he can help with the much-needed weight loss. Max has been chewing on his own paw through boredom. Always up for a challenge, Paul takes him outdoors for some exercise but soon realises he’s taken on more than he bargained for.
Paul says: “If he loses some weight, maybe he’ll look more Shar Pei, and less Hungry Hippo.” 
Over at Battersea’s home in Old Windsor, a Dalmatian cross called Fern has arrived, found wandering the streets pregnant. Despite clearly being late into her pregnancy, Fern is in a bad way, malnourished with protruding bones. Her calorie intake is quickly upped just in time for her to go into labour. Battersea veterinary nurse Amy-Jo is by her side for the eleven-hour labour and news of the huge, hungry litter of puppies soon reaches Paul: 
“Oh my god, this is wicked. This is like putting somebody who’s on a diet, and shoving them into a cake shop overnight, locking it up and saying, ‘Help yourself’. It’s not fair, it’s really not fair.”
With eleven hungry pups to feed, Fern is under pressure but how will she cope when the time comes for them to be taken away and re-homed? Concerned Paul adds Fern to his worry list, desperately hoping she will get a much-deserved new home of her own.Paul O'Grady visits more Battersea Dogs and Cats Home residents. He meets an abandoned dalmatian cross who gives birth to eleven puppies, and helps a sharpei cross get into shape. 
21:00-22:00 brand new two-part-documentary.1/2.Crime and Punishment:Gordon Ramsay on Cocaine.Gordon Ramsay explores the criminal business behind the global cocaine trade in this two-part
documentary. Cocaine was once seen as glamourous and expensive, a favourite of the rich and famous, but the drug is now the UK’s favourite illegal high. Each year, 30 tonnes of cocaine are
consumed in the UK – more than in any other European country – and deaths from the drug are currently at an all-time high. In the restaurant industry, usage of cocaine is rife and Gordon is determined to strip away at the drug’s glamorous image. He teams up with the police and military,both here and abroad, who are battling to stop the lucrative trade of this deadly drug. In this episode, Gordon joins Dorset Police as they arrest motorists driving under the influence of cocaine,and he witnesses National Crime Agency officers intercepting drug couriers on their way to a deal laden with tens of thousands of pounds. He also gets to handle 30 kilos of freshly confiscated cocaine when it arrives at a forensics laboratory for testing. Leaving the UK behind, Gordon heads
to the source of the drug. Colombia is the world’s biggest producer of cocaine, and Gordon treks deep into the jungle to meet a coca farmer who risks everything to produce the drug. Gordon watches the illegal ‘cooking’ process, which transforms the plant into the notorious drug.Gordon Ramsay explores the global cocaine trade, observing police as they arrest users and dealers and visiting Colombia, the world's biggest producer of cocaine.
Gordon Ramsay on Cocaine Episode 2 of 2 last in series and series finale airs on Thursday (25th,October,2018) at 9:00pm-10:00pm.

22:30-22:40 Regional News and Weather
22:40-23:15 brand new series.9/20.After the News.(Series 1).After The News
This new live topical discussion programme for TV3 debates Britain’s biggest talking points with a range of high-profile guests from news, politics, and popular culture.
Hosted separately five nights a week by broadcasters Emma Barnett and Nick Ferrari, they will be joined for the duration of the 30-minute programme by two guests with passionately-held and differing views for a lively and combative discussion on a range of stories and issues.
The programme aims to be the last word on the major talking points of the day and to combine them with fresh insights into the next morning’s big stories, taking perspectives from social media to fuel the conversation in the studio.
Guests lined up to appear on the show include Nigel Farage, Alastair Campbell, Ann Widdecombe, Nick Clegg, Nicky Morgan, Jason Isaacs, Shami Chakrabarti, Chuka Umunna, Quentin Letts, Julia Hartley-Brewer, and Alex Salmond.
Depending on the news agenda, the panel may be joined by an additional interviewee or contributor who is at the heart of a major news story, and the programme will make room for single interviews on particularly high-profile topics.
Emma, who hosts her own show on Radio 5 live, will present every Tuesday and Friday night, while LBC host Nick will front the show on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The pair will alternate on Mondays.
Emma Barnett said: “News has never been so newsworthy - which is ironic in an era when we've got more access to the hard stuff than ever before. I love being in the middle of the day's biggest issues and separating truth from spin. I look forward to getting going with this new late night news show. So bring it on."
Nick Ferrari said: "With everything from the recent terror attacks, to the complexities of Brexit and even the horror of one of the worst peacetime disasters in history with the Grenfell tragedy, rarely has the news agenda been so compelling and ever-changing. This show seeks to reflect that."
Executive producer Ian Rumsey, Head of Topical Programmes, ITN Productions said: “We’re aiming to go behind the headlines every night – and also bring some of the next day’s big stories forward. We won’t just be sticking simply to the news agenda, our programme will also focus on many of the other things that Britain is really talking about that day."
