Brand new crime drama, The Tower, is landing on ITV on Monday 8 November. To whet your whistle, we’re looking at the best dramas ITV Hub has to offer in the meantime
By Ross Campbell, Writer
The Tower follows DS Sarah Collins (Gemma Whelan, Game Of Thrones) and her colleague, DC Steve Bradshaw (Jimmy Akingbola, Kate & Koji), in their investigation of a mysterious double-homicide in south east London. On arrival at the crime scene, at the foot of a residential high-rise, they’re faced with the bodies of a 15-year-old girl and their long-serving colleague, PC Hadley Matthews.
As the investigation develops, it quickly becomes clear to Sarah and Steve that a lot of important evidence and facts are being tightly guarded, either by the residents of the tower, or the police themselves.
The first episode of the three-part series premieres on Monday 8 November on ITV HD (CH 103) at 9pm – don’t miss out. However, if you can’t wait that long to get your ITV drama fix, we’ve got a boatload of suggestions to tide you over.
