Raven, Eps 11-15 of 15  LAST IN THE SERIES Monday 18 December CBBC, 3.50-4.20pm

The time has come for Raven's one True Warrior to be crowned as three weeks of tense challenges draws to a close. Having won the favour of Raven (Aisha Toussaint) in their individual heats, the final contenders are all keen to be the chosen one who will face evil sorcerer Nevar. First, however, there are challenges of strength, agility and resourcefulness to overcome. On Monday, the warriors under the banner of the Stag take on challenges including Conundrum and Looms Labyrinth. At the end of the day, it's time for the competitor with the fewest golden rings to leave the tournament. On Tuesday, the warriors must take on Leap Of Faith, a challenge of endurance and bravery among the ancient trees of the forest. At the end of a tense day's competition, the Stag with the most rings will go through the portal to join the other heat finalists. On Wednesday, the four finalists come together for the first time in the Grand Tournament and face four challenges - Scramble, Warrior's Seat, Towering Heights and Treetop Treasure. Each has to dig deep to win the most golden rings, taking them one step closer to being crowned winner. On Thursday, four more challenges are laid out for the brave warriors including one-on-one face-off Orb Race and team test Wrecking Ball. Tension mounts with one warrior leaving the contest at the end of today's show. On Friday, only three of the four final warriors remain. Just two challenges are left to face - Demon Army and Demon Causeway - before the final Last Stand of the series. The mettle of the remaining contenders will be tested to the limit in a bid to find Raven's one True Warrior.

WEDNESDAY 20 DECEMBER TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS /BBC WEEK 51 ______

Scot Squad, Ep6/6  LAST IN THE SERIES Wednesday 20 December BBC One Scotland, 10.40-11.10pm

It might be the final episode of spoof comedy series Scot Squad, but the Scottish Police Force never stop doing the right thing as they courageously curtail criminality. This week, the bold band of Braveheart bam-busters catch a break in a break-in case, net some fish thieves in a robbery and deal with an expensive drop of whisky. Urban cops PC Jack McLaren and Sarah Fletcher spot a damsel in distress – or a meteorologist in a muddle - as they come to the rescue of TV weatherwoman Judith Ralston. While Jack turns hero and flirts outrageously, Sarah spots the chance for Judith to play match-maker with a BBC newsreader. Chief Commissioner Miekelson does a head-turning gesture for charity by sporting a selection of wondrous wigs while Officer Karen has to deal with Bobby’s traffic cone conundrum. Knights of the Road, PC Surjit Singh and Hugh McKirdy are old skool cops with an awareness of new technology but even they are driven round the bend with a new mobile phone call. DC Megan Squire and Andrea McGill are used to uncovering the truth, the whole truth and hee haw but the truth so they’re quick to spot a married couple of liars involved in a convenience store robbery. Elsewhere, Saving Nemo is a full scale concern for PC Ken Beattie while PC Charlie McIntosh and Jane MacKay deal with the demon drink when they visit a local whisky shop.

Spoof comedy starring Jordan Young as PC Jack McLaren, Sally Fletcher as PC Sarah Fletcher, Judith Ralston as herself, Jack Docherty as Chief Commissioner Cameron Miekelson, Karen Bartke as Officer Karen, Darren Connell as Bobby, Manjot Sumal as PC Surgit Singh, Grado as PC Hugh McKirdy, Julie Wilson Nimmo as DC Megan Squire, Louise McCarthy as DC Andrea McGill, James Allenby-Kirk as PC Ken Beattie, Chris Forbes as PC Charlie McIntosh and Ashley Smith as PC Jane MacKay.
