PICK OF THE DAY
LITTLE BOY BLUE, 9PM, ITV
IN 2007, Rhys Jones was walking home from football practice in Croxteth, Liverpool, when he was fatally shot. He was 11 years old. Though Rhys’s teenage killer was quickly identified, finding the evidence to charge him was to prove far from straightforward. Stephen Graham stars as Det Supt Dave Kelly, with Sonny Beyga as Rhys and Sinead Keenan and Brian F. O’Byrne as his devastated parents, Melanie and Steve, in this hard-hitting (and heartbreaking) four-part fact-based drama, written by Jeff Pope and made with the family’s co-operation.
