The series which tells the story of how Detective Superintendent Steve Fulcher deliberately breached police procedure and protocol to catch a killer, a decision that ultimately cost him his career and reputation continues this week as he questions prime suspect Christopher Halliwell.
Refusing Halliwell’s requests to take him to a police station, Steve tells him that he has a chance to do the right thing and tell him where Sian is, otherwise Halliwell and his family will be “vilified” in the press.
Halliwell indicates he wants to go somewhere and they get in Fulcher’s car along with Debs Peach who records everything. Halliwell directs the car and the following police convoy and helicopter to a remote country lane where he tells Fulcher he left Sian’s dead body in a ditch at the side of the road. Fulcher tells Tracey Joyce the news and asks her to stay and search for the body.

6. Brassic
Thursday 19th September at 10pm on Sky One
It's all been available to watch as a boxset since the first episode aired, but in the final episode of series one which airs this week, Vinnie is horrified to discover that the boot of a car he’s spontaneously nicked contains stolen antiques belonging to Terence McCann.
Threatening him with horrific violence, McCann tasks Vinnie with returning the antiques and finding the individual who stole them. But it’s easier said than done. Especially when Vinnie finally locates the oddest item, McCann’s prized Antique dildo, clamped in the jaws of Petunia, a stubborn farm dog. As Vinnie and the lads scramble to find the culprit, Dylan has his mind on other things and is shocked to discover another devastating secret that Erin has been hiding from him.
Thankfully, Sky One have already announced that a second series is not only on the way, but is already being filmed. Hopefully we won't have to wait a year to see it.

7. Criminal
Friday 20th September on Netflix
This new Netflix series appears to have drawn huge inspiration from the interrogation scenes in Line of Duty, as each episode takes place exclusively within the confines of a police interview suite.
This stripped down, cat-and-mouse drama focuses on the intense mental conflict between the police officer and the suspect in question. Rather unusually, this 12-part anthology series is split over four different countries; UK, France, Germany and Spain.
The three UK episodes star Katherine Kelly, Lee Ingleby, Rochenda Sandall, Nicholas Pinnock, Clare-Hope Ashitey, Mark Stanley, Shubham Saraf with David Tennant, Hayley Atwell and Youssef Kerkour playing the three suspects.
