BULLET PROOF: SOUTH AFRICA
Sky One, 9pm
NOEL CLARKE and Ashley Walters are back as wise-cracking duo Bishop and Pike in this buddy cop show. It’s action-packed from the off, with plenty of car chases, rooftop stand-offs, shoot-outs and banter. Think Lethal Weapon for Londoners.
Having spent two seasons on the streets of the capital, this threepart series sees the cops in the sunnier climes of South Africa.
They have taken a well-earned holiday in Cape Town, but it quickly turns sour when a young girl is kidnapped while buying ice cream with Pike’s daughter.
Having befriended the family at the beach, they have no choice but to intervene to try to save her.
Of course, things don’t go smoothly and before long the boys find themselves in custody after being forced to work outside of the law.
Walters and Clarke are on brilliant form, and while there are tense scenes, there’s lots of humour too.
