PICK OF THE DAY

INFORMER, 9PM, BBC1

‘WE FAIL — and when we do, people die.’ Starring Paddy Considine (which is usually a good sign), this new, six-part thriller gets off to an involving start. He plays Londonbased counterterrorism officer Gabriel, who finds his position threatened by his insatiably curious new partner, the young and ambitious Holly (Bel Powley). When Gabriel uses morally questionable methods to persuade young British-Pakistani man Raza (Nabhaan Rizwan, pictured far right with Considine and Powley) to become an informer, the trio soon find the personal becoming increasingly

political.
