8pm on ITV1
Who knows why some detective shows persist and others don’t? Being simple, a little dated, and without any distinctive features, did not prevent this John Simm vehicle, set in and around Brighton, from staying on for a sixth season. The first episode is an unnecessary ITV crime drama crossover, featuring Grantchester’s Rishi Nair as the husband of a woman who has disappeared, for reasons that are initially unclear. CAccel

Hunting: prey versus predator

Business as usual then. Alexey Duggins

Creed III (Michael B. Jordan, 2023), 10.20pm, on ITV1

So the third film in the series, which is itself an adaptation of Sylvester Stallone’s long-running Rocky saga, may not sound particularly engaging, but there’s nothing like a suitable hook from the hero to lift us out of franchise fatigue. Michael B. Jordan, this year’s Best Actor Oscar winner, is reliably excellent as Adonis “Donny” Creed, and now he’s directing as well, with several scenes deserving of approval from both Stallone and Ryan Coogler. Here Donnie faces an enemy from his difficult past (Jonathan Majors), whose defiance raises some problems. Ellen E. Jones
