Grace
This two-part mini film series comes from the screenwriter and creator of Endeavour, so it's bound to be a fantastic whodunit. It stars John Simm and Richie Campbell as its two leading detectives, Roy Grace and DS Glenn Branson respectively. "The first film, Dead Simple, opens with Grace running inquiries into long forgotten cold cases with little or no prospect of success.

"He's fixated by the disappearance of his beloved wife, Sandy, which haunts his thoughts. His unorthodox police methods have come under scrutiny once again and Grace is walking a career tightrope and risks being moved from the job he loves most."
Finding Alice
Keeley Hawes not only produced this six-part drama, but has the starring role, too. Keeley plays Alice who discovers her husband dead at the bottom of the stairs and finds herself trying to live her life without him.

"Whilst Alice's own parents, Roger (Nigel Havers) and Sarah (Joanna Lumley), only seem to add to her list of problems." We can't wait for this!
Marcella
After what feels like forever, series three of Marcella is returning soon. Anna Friel will reprise her role as the police detective, this time working undercover in Belfast on a new case under a new identity.

As she inhabits the character of Keira, Marcella’s quest for the truth puts her in danger and others in harm's way. Her undercover role makes her take risks, but will her old life eventually catch up with her?"

Noel plays DC Martin Young, undertaking a tense police surveillance operation in the heart of a tight-knit Manchester community as he investigates the disappearance of a local teacher.
