Richard Armitage’s smug scientist and Annabel Scholey’s frosty cop team up to solve a murder. Plus Martin Compston’s raucous cocktail sesh in Las Vegas. Here’s what to watch this evening
9pm, ITV1
If you have room for one more mismatched detective duo in your life, this new drama introduces Dr Ethan Winter (Richard Armitage), an unbearably smug forensic pathologist who can “read a body like a book”, and DI Lauren Bell (Annabel Scholey), a diligent, frosty cop. The pair are on a collision course as the murder of a young woman lands in their in trays. But when an explosive postmortem raises the stakes, they are forced to tolerate each other. Phil Harrison
