ITV have commissioned a new six part series of detective drama DCI Banks, starring Stephen Tompkinson, Andrea Lowe and Caroline Catz, ITV confirmed today. The six hour-long episodes continue to be inspired by the books written by acclaimed novelist Peter Robinson. Well renowned actors Keith Barron and Polly Hemmingway also return as Banks’ parents, Arthur and Ida. Filming will take place in Yorkshire later this month. The first story, What Will Survive, revolves around a young woman found buried alive and her connections to a man, his autistic son and a family that seem to have silenced the town. We also see Banks’ life turned upside down by tragic events in his own family.
If that´s not enough police-themed drama, ITV have also announced another four stories from Endeavour. Following the success of the second series earlier this year, the third series will once again be written by Lewis creator and Inspector Morse writer, Russell Lewis. The new series which focuses on a young Morse, will be set in 1967, picking up from the dramatic second series finale that saw Endeavour placed in police custody, framed for a murder he didn’t commit, and DI Fred Thursday’s life hanging in the balance after being shot in the chest.
RED Production Company, the creators of the often very dark, but very successful drama series Happy Valley, as well as warm and cuddly family friendly Last Tango In Halifax, have announced a first class cast for a BBC One drama series set to broadcast in 2015.

Channel 4 will take us behind the scenes in a new series following officers at Luton Police Station as they respond to 999 calls and arrest suspects, witnessing the relentless traffic through the police custody cells, round the clock. “24 Hours in Police Custody” will show the station works under the constant pressure dictated by time restrictions which mean that most prisoners can only be kept against their will for a maximum of 24 hours.
