Strike: Lethal White, 9pm, BBC1
Of the many crime-fighting duos to grace our screens, Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott are among the most engaging, thanks to Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger. So it’s great to see them back with a thorny case involving politics, blackmail and murder. As ever, it’s the duo’s personal issues that are also compelling, as Robin continues to deal with trauma and her marriage, while Strike gamely tries to focus on a new girlfriend and not let on that he’s smitten with Robin! Continues tomorrow night.
