1. Little Boy Blue
Monday 24th April at 9pm on ITV
Having to fill the gap left behind by Broadchurch was never going to be easy, but ITV how that Little Boy Blue is their next great Monday night drama.
Based on a true story that gripped the nation, the four-part drama focuses on the murder of 11-year-old Rhys Jones in Croxteth, Liverpool, in 2007.
The series explores Melanie’s and Steve’s ordeal, and tells the story of how Rhys’s murderer and associates were eventually brought to justice. It centres on the devastating impact on a city of an innocent child’s murder amid a wave of gang violence.
The opening episode sees eleven-year-old schoolboy Rhys Jones brutally shot dead walking home from football practice. Detective Superintendent Dave Kelly is charged with bringing his teenage killer to justice. His identity is well known, but finding the evidence to charge him proves to be a far more difficult challenge.
The wonderful Stephen Graham takes the role of Detective Superintendent Dave Kelly who led the investigation into Rhys’s murder on behalf of Merseyside Police, while Sinead Keenan and Brian F. O’Byrne play Melanie and Steve Jones.

4. Murder In Successville

This week’s episode of Murder In Successville, A Murder in Ye Olde Successville, pays homage to the likes of Peaky Blinders and Ripper Street as the episode goes back in time to Victorian Successville where guest rookie Martin Kemp is tasked with solving the very first Murder in Successville.

There has been an intruder at Brimlington Hospital and Hillary is told by Hospital manager Susan Mitchell, to up security at no expense spared.

7. Line Of Duty
Sunday 30th April at 9pm on BBC One
It’s time for the series finale of Line of Duty which last year’ was extended to 90 minutes, but this year it’s stuck at 60 minutes. What a ride it's been. Line of Duty's move to BBC One and Sunday nights appears to have paid off with more people than ever before watching and talking about the series so brilliantly written by Jed Mercurio.
The explosive series finale pits AC-12 against Roz in a climactic duel to find Tim's murderer and unmask Balaclava Man once and for all.
Not only that, but who was Dot Cottan talking about in his dying declaration? Who is the criminal mastermind with the initial ‘H’. Hilton’s pointing the finger at Hastings, but Hastings appears confident of his innocence. Let’s hope we get to find out in the series finale.
If like me you’re already mourning the loss of Line Of Duty, the good news is that there will be a fifth series. The bad news is that it’s probably a year away.
