STREAMING
Amsterdam Vice
Walter Presents/All 4, From Friday
Police officer-turned-author AC Baantjer is one of the Netherlands’ most successful crime novelists; his series focusing on Inspector De Cock and his sidekick Sergeant Vledder continues to be hugely popular 11 years after its creator’s death. This new eight-part series is a prequel to the novels and is set in the titular Dutch city during the 1980s. The central character is Detective Judd Cox, who has just been promoted to the toughest department in Amsterdam. He and his
new partner Montijn’s first case involves a murder, but their investigation leads them to something far more incredible – an attack set to take place on the day of Princess Beatrix’s coronation. Waldemar Torenstra, Tygo Gernandt and Yannick Jozefzoon star.

Attenborough’s Life in Colour BBC1, 7pm, Sunday
Just when you thought there was no aspect of the animal kingdom left for Sir David Attenborough to cover, the veteran broadcaster pulls a rabbit out of the hat. Or in this case, a hummingbird, Bengal tiger, fiddler crab, and a whole host of other eye-catching creatures.
Attenborough has always been fascinated by colour in the natural world – and this new two-part series sees him travel from the rainforests of Costa Rica to the snowclad Scottish Highlands to indulge in his passion.
