Holding

ITV, 9.00pm

A very Irish comedy crime drama adapted from Graham Norton’s novel of the same name, with comedian Kathy Burke directing all four parts.

PJ Collins (Conleth Hill) is the sergeant of a sleepy Irish village, but when human remains are found he finally has a proper case to crack. PJ is assisted by young detective Linus, played by Clinton Liberty.

As the grim discovery ripples through the community, it threatens to expose a lifetime of secrets.

Clara Amfo leads a search for Britain’s next top streetwear mogul, with nine up-and-coming creatives going head to head in a series of fashion challenges. The first is to design a garment and display that tells their brand story.

Grammy Award-winning artist Miguel will act as head judge, with high-end designer Marc Jacques Burton and designer and model Blondey completing the panel.

Bloods

Wednesday

Sky Comedy, 10.00pm

Unexpectedly perfect comedy pairing Samson Kayo and Jane Horrocks are back as mismatched paramedics Maleek and Wendy for an expanded series of gallows gags.

Top Boy

Netflix

The fourth series of Top Boy finally lands on Netflix after its triumphant return in 2019 with a helping hand from Drake.

Dushane (Ashley Walters) and Sully (Kano) continue to expand their drug empire, but their friendship is fraught after the former framed Jamie’s (Michael Ward) brothers in series three, which put Jamie himself behind bars when he took the fall for the crime.

Meanwhile, Sully is still reeling from the death of his surrogate son Jason (Ricky Smarts) by arson attack, and Dushane will have to look out for ‘addicts’ Sarah and Lee since the two were revealed as undercover agents.
