Campaigner Sophie Morgan is leading the fight to allow wheelchair users greater freedom when flying. Plus, Will Mellor meets the real people behind the Post office scandal. Here’s what to watch this evening

9pm, Channel 4

“We’re treated like luggage, like cattle.” This documentary’s opening footage of the reality of flying as experienced by disabled people is shameful. So much so that paraplegic TV presenter Sophie Morgan is taking the issue to the White House and Downing Street, and campaigning for laws to ensure the use of an invention that could allow passengers to stay in their wheelchairs while flying.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

9pm, Channel 4 “We’re treated like luggage, like cattle.” This documentary’s opening footage of the reality of flying as experienced by disabled people is shameful.

So much so that paraplegic TV presenter Sophie Morgan is taking the issue to the White House and Downing Street, and campaigning for laws to ensure the use of an invention that could allow passengers to stay in their wheelchairs while flying.

9pm, ITV1 Melanie is searching for her twin-sister siblings, and in doing so she discovers sad truths about her mother’s desperate life as a homeless second world war refugee from what was then Yugoslavia.

9pm, Sky Atlantic With the horribly flame-grilled Aegon laid up in bed for the foreseeable, his scheming brother Aemond has filled the royal power vacuum at King’s Landing.

Elsewhere, exiled queen Rhaenyra moves ahead with her “mad thought” of finding some unorthodox dragon riders.

10.40pm, BBC One The eccentric detective drama starring Babou Ceesay and Eve Myles continues to mix criminal psychology with macabre farce (this week, an abortive attempt to flush a severed finger down a toilet).

The original article contains 363 words, the summary contains 179 words. Saved 51%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Half of this is a summary of the advertisements on the news site. Fail.

"Elsewhere, exiled queen Rhaenyra moves ahead with her “mad thought” of finding some unorthodox dragon riders."
