Tonight's TV Guide: Crime and Comedy Abound
A gripping true-crime series airs tonight as Channel 4 follows the Bedfordshire police's covert investigation into a global criminal phone network that was cracked back in 2020. The show, "24 Hours in Police Custody", starts with a dramatic scene where a hooded figure pulls out a shotgun and fires it in Luton, setting off a chain of events that leads to a massive hunt for those involved.
Later on, Channel One airs an episode of the popular police drama "Waterloo Road" starring Kym Marsh as a new behavioural manager at a school dealing with students caught selling drugs. Meanwhile, comedian Jon Richardson joins a sniffer dog team in an attempt to solve some baffling crime cases.
If you're looking for something light-hearted, Channel 5 has a new episode of the detective series "The Good Ship Murder", where a singing sleuth teams up with a cruise ship first officer to solve a murder on the high seas. The show promises to be full of twists and turns as the duo navigates their way through a tangled web of clues.
For those who enjoy a bit of surrealism, "Dark Winds" airs tonight on U&Alibi, taking viewers on a wild ride through Native American mythology with a dash of Lynchian atmosphere.
Comedians Desiree Burch and Finlay Christie will be performing live at the Apollo Theatre in an evening that promises to be full of laughs.
Lastly, if you're a footy fan, tune into ITV1 for the semi-final first leg of the EFL Cup Football match between Newcastle United and Manchester City.

I'm not convinced about this "24 Hours in Police Custody" series... can we get some concrete evidence to back up these claims? Just a bunch of rehashed news from 2020, really? Where's the journalist's work here? What fresh reporting is being done on this story? Also, isn't it weird that they're airing it now and not, like, years ago when all the drama went down? 
. I love how they've got that mix of crime and comedy - it's so addictive watching a good detective show or laughing with Jon Richardson on "Sniff Dog" 
. And if you're in the mood for something a bit more surreal, "Dark Winds" sounds really intriguing... not sure what to expect from that one though 
. Who actually watches that stuff? And don't even get me started on sniffer dogs solving crimes - it's like something out of a bad cop show 
. The idea of a "singing sleuth" sounds like a total joke 
. I'd rather stick needles in my eyes than watch that.
Can't wait for another thrilling night of crime and comedy on telly... I mean, who doesn't love watching sniffer dogs sniff out clues while comedians try to solve crimes with their dodgy detective skills? 
The real question is, will Jon Richardson's sniffer dog team catch any actual crimes or just sniff out some decent snacks? 
? And "24 Hours in Police Custody" is just a fancy name for "watching cops try to figure out what's going on". At least the sniffer dog team with Jon Richardson sounds like it could be entertaining - maybe he'll even manage to sniff out some decent comedy 
the fact that they're showing real police work makes it so much more intense, u feel me? and then theres Waterloo Road which i'm literally obsessed with 
?? i need to watch this ASAP. and dark winds sounds like it'll b such a wild ride, but its not really my thing. cant w8 the comedy night at the apollo tho!!!
. And can we talk about Jon Richardson as a sniffer dog handler? 
, I love shows that blend mythology and surrealism... it sounds so atmospheric! And live comedy at the Apollo Theatre? Fingers crossed I can score some tickets 
. Who else is watching "24 Hours in Police Custody"?
, got my money on that true-crime series tho! 
anyone seen "24 Hours in Police Custody" before? seems so intense watching real-life cops doing their thing 
think the true-crime series sounds kinda intense 
, but I mean who doesn't love a good whodunit? 
also saw Jon Richardson on that sniffer dog team last week lol what's with all the comedy nights, can't we just relax for one evening without laughs? 
️
. The idea of delving into the inner workings of a covert investigation, replete with tension and suspense, sounds utterly captivating 
. I'd love to see how the show weaves together the intricacies of police procedure with the personal stories of those involved - it's a masterclass in storytelling, if you ask me 
.
. Will it pay off or fall flat? Only time will tell...
It feels like some of these police dramas are just glossing over the harder stuff, you know? Like, sure, Waterloo Road is great and all, but where's the gritty reality? I mean, have they even interviewed any actual victims' families or something? 
. He's always good for a laugh, and I'm curious to see how he does on the job.
. And if you're in the mood for something a bit offbeat, "Dark Winds" on U&Alibi looks like just the ticket 
.
"THE GOOD SHIP MURDER" SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE SO MUCH FUN!!! 
I'M ALSO REALLY CURIOUS ABOUT "DARK WINDS" AND THE MYSTERY SURROUNDING NATIVE AMERICAN MYTHOLOGY... IS IT GOING TO BE A WILD RIDE?! 
. and who wouldn't want to watch a sniffer dog team solve crimes? 
. and of course, football fans will be on the edge of their seats for tonight's efl cup match
