An Hour To Catch A Killer With Trevor McDonald, 9pm, ITV

This documentary breaks new ground when it comes to the coverage of a murder investigation. Sir Trevor McDonald (left) and his team have been given unprecedented access to Northumbria murder detectives as they set out to solve the killing of a 24-year-old woman from Gateshead. From the moment the body is discovered by the victim’s flatmate, body-cameras worn by the officers allow viewers to see how the investigation unfolds throughout the crucial first hour. We have all seen enough police dramas – both fact and fiction – to have a rough idea about what goes on but seeing it all unfold in real-time gives this programme a unusual edge.
