Van Der Valk - ITV

The Van Der Valk reboot continues on Sunday night, and follows the famous detective "in the contemporary world of Amsterdam... as he leads his dynamic team in solving a raft of mysterious crimes using astute human observation and inspired detection". Of his character, Marc Warren, who plays the detective, explained: "Van Der Valk is an everyman sort of character. He reflects the energies of Amsterdam: its tolerance and liberalism. He can be a loner, and at times he might seem a little taciturn or moody but he has some stuff going on that we find out about as the show goes on."
