DI Ray Sunday-Tuesday, 9pm, ITV1 (box set, ITVX)
Detective Inspector Rachita Ray
(Parminder Nagra) learnt the hard way that dreams rarely match reality in the first series of ITV1's DI Ray, when her longed-for promotion to the homicide squad exposed her to the injustices of institutional racism.
Assigned to lead a murder investigation into the death of a Muslim man, seemingly because of the colour of her skin, Ray succeeded in solving the case - but at the cost of discovering that her fiancé, DCI Martyn Hunter (The Wives' Jamie Bamber), was corrupt.
As the series returns for a second run this week, Ray is tasked with investigating a drive-by shooting outside a hospital - but the events of the first series have taken their toll on her.
