Alibi TV offers an eye-catching mix of detective dramas old and new, from classics like Rebus and Bergerac, to newer entries to the genre like Happy Valley and Sherlock.
The channel is stacked with legendary performances – as well as Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock there’s also Sir Kenneth Branagh’s memorable turn as brooding Swedish detective Wallander and both Ben Miller and Ardal O’Hanlon starring – in turn – in Death in Paradise.
At time of writing, Miss Scarlet and the Duke is a real favourite on Alibi. Kate Phillips stars as London’s first ever female detective, who faces huge challenges in Victorian England, taking on sexism, dangerous criminals and solving the murder of her father, all while stoking the fires of a slow-burn relationship with the eponymous Duke, played by Stuart Martin.
