THE TEN HOTTEST SHOWS TO WATCH RIGHT NOW

ON ITV HUB

-

1. DES

David Tennant (below) is chilling as the serial killer of gay men, Dennis Nilsen, in this disturbing three-parter covering his arrest and trial.

2. SHERLOCK HOLMES

A selection of the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stories filmed with Jeremy Brett between 1984 to 1994. For many fans of the great detective, Brett is the quintessen­tial Holmes. .

3. PLEBS

A classical sitcom that’s also a classic. Three young men try to make it in Ancient Rome. It’s daft, puerile – and an absolute hoot.

4. UNFORGOTTE­N

There are two series available of the brilliant crime drama in which DCI Cassie Stuart (Nicola Walker) and DI Sunny Khan (Sanjeev Bhaskar) tackle cold cases.

5. MIDSOMER MURDERS

Various episodes of the quirky, cosy crime show set in the picturesqu­e rural county of Midsomer, murder capital of the world.

6. AGATHA CHRISTIE’S POIROT

It’s virtually impossible to imagine anyone other than David Suchet as Hercule Poirot. His meticulous interpreta­tion of the fussy Belgian detective sets the benchmark.

7. MINDER

A collection of episodes from the much-loved early series of the comedy drama about dodgy businessma­n Arthur Daley (George Cole) and his minder Terry McCann (Dennis Waterman).

8. THE ONLY WAY IS ESSEX

More than 50 episodes showing Brentwood’s finest in action in this popular ‘reality’ show about the lives and loves of Essex boys and girls.

9. LOVE ISLAND

There’s no denying that the controvers­ial dating series is a talking point. There’s a wealth of content including documentar­ies, reunions and foreign versions of the show.

10. MARCELLA

The third series of the Anna Friel drama about a troubled detective finds her undercover in Belfast investigat­ing a crime family and, as usual, getting into all sorts of bother.
