DRAMA
COLLATERAL BBC2, 9pm
More Monday night misery with this second brand-new thriller that weaves a compelling murder mystery from the off.
John Simm appears again as a Labour MP, alongside a cracking cast including Carey Mulligan as DI Kip Glaspie, Billie Piper as a slightly unhinged single mum and Nicola Walker as a gay vicar.
You may wonder how on Earth these characters come together, but sooner or later they do after a pizza delivery man is shot dead on the doorstep of a South London mansion block.
Syrian refugee Abdullah Asif (Sam Otto) was sent to deliver the pizza instead of regular driver Mikey, so was Mikey the intended victim or Abdullah?
The killing seems professional, but the only witness was a young woman strung out on drugs on the street corner. Meanwhile, at Abdullah’s home, it seems his sisters are hiding something. A web of intrigue begins – trust no one.
