ITV1, from Friday, 6 January, 9pm
Story: In a drive-by shooting outside the Old Bailey, DS Matt Devlin is killed and another officer hit by gunfire. It appears to be a targeted attack on a young witness giving evidence in an attempted murder trial. But then DS Sam Casey learns the gunman was targeting police officers.
Paul Nicholls puts in a decent shift as Bradley Walsh's new sidekick as season six gets off to an emotionally charged start following the shooting of Matt Devlin (Jamie Bamber) in the previous series' cliffhanger.
He plays detective sergeant Sam Casey, brought in to help with the investigation into Devlin's shooting outside the Old Bailey in a drive-by killing. Brooks is devastated by seeing his partner shot. He gets off to a rocky start with Casey when the new man tells him not to jeopardise the investigation by interfering when he should be off duty recovering.

Streetwise Brooks, of course, ignores the advice and is slammed by his boss, Chandler, for turning 'Robocop'.
Devlin was hit in what was thought to be an attack on a young witness giving evidence in an attempted murder trial. But Casey tracks down a suspect, student Jamal, and it appears he could have been targeting police officers.
The strength of this spin-off from the US series is that the cases are often realistic in their messiness and ambiguity. Here, the defence barrister (Paul Salmon) argues that Jamal is the victim of police racism, a claim helped by Brooks' misguided interference. As Jamal's true motivation becomes apparent, prosecutors Jake and Alesha are not sure they can get him convicted of murder.
