Bulletproof

9pm, Sky One

London’s hardest detective duo Bishop (Noel Clarke) and Pike (Ashley Walters) are back for the second series of their gun-toting, kitsch cop drama. The opening episode kicks off with a high-speed drug sting that leads to shots fired and a £1m haul in evidence. Yet, it also means that Bishop and Pike find themselves undercover in a notorious crime gang, tracing the origins of the money and an orchestrated drugs drought that is bringing the illegal market to its knees. A low-stakes, bingeable romp. Ammar Kalia
