There are three of them altogether, but I'll start with Monday's head to head between BBC2 and ITV1 at 9pm. Aren't we lucky we have BBC iplayer and other remedies to dilemmas such as this one?
BBC2 has a three parter entitled Moses Jones, written by Joe Penhall. Expect some decent viewing figures as there will be many checking out Matt Smith, the new Dr Who in his role as DS Dan Twentyman. He stars alongside Shaun Parkes as DI Moses Jones in a London-based crime drama that takes them into the heart of the African community. The story kicks off with the mutilated body of a man found floating in the Thames. Where witchcraft is the first thought, the truth turns out to be much stranger...

Over on ITV1, we're still in London, but the offering of Whitechapel stars Rupert Penry-Jones, Phil Davis and Steve Pemberton. 120 years after Jack the Ripper struck, someone is copying the slaughter with amazing accuracy, even under the constant surveillance of CCTV cameras in the area and the use of modern day detection techniques such as DNA analysis. It's another three part production. [Again the DT has more information. Picture: ITV.]
And the third series starts on Tuesday: more to come in a separate post.
