Sunday nights are made for gripping dramas, so it's just as well that ITV have another one for us all to get hooked on, in the shape of Karen Pirie.
ITV know what they're doing when it comes to a good Sunday night drama. Back in the day we had Heartbeat, Where the Heart Is and Wild at Heart, while more recent hits include The Good Karma Hospital, Trigger Point and, of course, Vera. Over the last month, it's been Ridley, starring Line of Duty's own Ted Hastings, that's peen pulling viewers in and on Sunday night, Karen Pirie will make its debut, after what seems like an eternity of preview adverts teasing its arrival.
Episode one focused on the murder of young barmaid Rosie Duff, who has been assaulted, stabbed and left for dead, with three students found with blood stained clothes, claiming to have stumbled upon her body on the way home from a night out. The investigations gores unsolved for a quarter of a century and is brought back into the public arena when it's discussed on a true crime podcast.
