TV tonight: it's the long-awaited return of police inspector Lynley

Police Inspector Lynley Returns to TV Screens in Highly Anticipated Reboot

The long-awaited return of beloved detective DI Tommy Lynley is finally here. In this BBC One reboot of the 2000s series based on Elizabeth George's novels, Leo Suter steps into the shoes of the well-heeled detective. His unlikely partnership with working-class DS Barbara Havers (Sofia Barclay) could prove to be a winning combination as they tackle their first murder case.

Lynley's upper-class background is pitted against Havers' street smarts in a clash that may ultimately forge an unbreakable bond between them. As the chalk-and-cheese duo work together, viewers are left wondering if Lynley's sophistication will prove to be the key to solving the complex case at hand.

A 'super soap crossover' event brings residents of Emmerdale and Coronation Street together in a drama-filled episode that promises tense scenes. Meanwhile, Gemma Atkinson delves into the world of protein in an explosive documentary on Channel 4, exploring whether science backs up our obsession with this supposedly superfood.

The University Challenge continues its thrilling second round as contestants from Churchill College and Merton College face off in the battle for quarter-final qualification. The stakes are high as these brainy contestants strive to stay ahead in the game.

Historian Lucy Worsley brings her expertise to Victorian-era true crime in a fascinating special on BBC Two, where she seeks to solve one of history's most infamous cases: the Victorian Thames Torso Murderer. As the story unfolds, viewers will be on the edge of their seats, eager to unravel the mystery behind this chilling case.

Finally, Channel 5 brings us another gripping police-chasing documentary in its latest installment, where detectives pursue a man beaten to death in a basement squat in Lancashire. With twists and turns aplenty, can they uncover the truth behind this heinous crime?
 
OMG, you guys 🀯 I'm like totally seeing some kinda pattern here... first off, DI Tommy Lynley comes back on TV and it's all about him teaming up with someone from a "different world" 😏 like Barbara Havers. That's basically the setup for some kinda show that's gonna make you wonder if he's really gonna help her out or just use her to get ahead πŸ€‘

And don't even get me started on Gemma Atkinson and her protein docu πŸ”₯... what's next? A series about how many eggs we can eat in one sitting? πŸ₯š I mean, is she trying to push some agenda or what? And have you seen the lineup for University Challenge? Those contestants seem way too smart for their own good 😳 like they're part of some kinda secret society

And Lucy Worsley's Victorian-era true crime docu... that sounds like it could be a cover story 🀐 maybe she's trying to distract us from something bigger. And Channel 5's police-chasing documentary? That just seems like more propaganda πŸ“°... what if they're not really investigating the truth, but just spinning some yarn to keep us hooked?
 
Dude, I'm so stoked that Police Inspector Lynley is back on our screens! Leo Suter's got some big shoes to fill replacing Russell Tovey, but I'm here for it. The dynamic between Lynley and Barbara Havers sounds like a recipe for some serious detective magic πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’‘. And can we talk about the 'super soap crossover' event? It's like they're trying to cram as many reality TV shows into one episode as possible... I'm just here for the drama, tbh πŸ˜‚πŸ“Ί!
 
I'm so hyped for Lynley's return! Leo Suter is gonna bring some fresh vibes to the character 😎. I love how they're pitting Lynley's upper-class background against Havers' street smarts - it's like a match made in heaven or total chaos, either way it's gonna be interesting to watch πŸ€”. I'm also intrigued by the Emmerdale and Coronation Street crossover event, I need to see what drama unfolds on those streets πŸ“Ί. And Lucy Worsley doing Victorian-era true crime? Yes, please! πŸ’‘
 
omg i've been waiting for this lynley reboot 4ever!! 🀩 i loved the original series with marton chesworth as di tommy lynley but leo suter's take sounds so interesting... his character's contrast w/ sofia barclay's ds barbara havers is gonna be key in solving that first murder case im so down to see how their unlikely partnership unfolds πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’‘
 
πŸ“Ί I'm not sure about this reboot, it's been ages since DI Lynley was on TV but I think Leo Suter will do him justice, especially paired with Sofia Barclay as DS Havers, sounds like a great combo to me πŸ‘. Upper-class detective with street smarts is a match made in heaven, love how they're pitting these two worlds against each other πŸ”„.

Also, protein documentary on Channel 4? πŸ€” Sounds like another clickbait title to me, not sure what's so explosive about it πŸ˜’. University Challenge sounds more exciting, always enjoy watching those brainy contestants battle it out πŸ’‘.

Historian Lucy Worsley is great though, been enjoying her stuff for ages πŸ‘. The Victorian Thames Torso Murderer case is a classic one, hope she solves it πŸ”. Can never get enough of true crime documentaries, keeps me on the edge of my seat 😬.
 
omg just saw the new Lynley reboot 🀩 been waiting for like forever! think leo suter is gonna nail the role of the upper-class detective but how's he gonna make it work with sofia barclay's down-to-earth ds havers tho? also, gotta check out that victorian-era true crime doc on bbc two lucy worsley is my spirit animal πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™€οΈ anyone else watching these shows all day every day lol
 
πŸ€” I'm not sure about this reboot... DI Lynley's always been more of an observer than an active participant in the investigation. Does this new dynamic with DS Havers really work out or just create more drama? 🚨
 
omg, i'm so down for a new lynley series 🀩!!! leo suter better bring the charm (and detective skills lol) to the role, but idk if it's gonna be the same as nick darvill back in the day 😐. also, who else is excited for lucy worley's victorian-era true crime doc? that sounds SO good πŸ“šπŸ”!
 
omg just watched the first ep of Lynley and I'm already hooked 🀩! love how his high society meets Barbara's street smarts it's gonna be so interesting to see them solve a case together πŸ’‘. also, Gemma Atkinson's doc on protein is SO needed - we all know she's been promoting that stuff for ages πŸ΄πŸ‘€. and Lucy Worsley's Victorian-era true crime special sounds SO intriguing πŸ“šπŸ’” can't wait to dive into it! πŸ‘
 
omg u guys!! i'm literally so hyped for the new Lynley series!!! 🀩 i mean, who wouldn't want to watch leo suter play di tommy lynley?? πŸ˜‚ his character is like literally my fave from the books (i've read them all like 5 times lol). and omg can we talk about barbara havers?? sofia barclay is giving me life as she's like literally so underrated! πŸ™Œ i'm already imagining the drama between lynley and havers... their differences are going to make for some SERIOUS tea πŸ΅πŸ’β€β™€οΈ
 
I'm not sure about this Lynley reboot thingy πŸ€”... I mean, it sounds like a nice setup for some detective work, but is it really needed? The original series was already pretty good, so I'm not convinced we need an updated version. Plus, I'm not sold on Leo Suter's take on the role – can't help but think he'll be typecast as the "rich guy" πŸ€‘. Not to mention, the 'super soap crossover' event sounds like a bit of a mess πŸ“Ί... Emmerdale and Coronation Street? Really? That just seems like a way to cash in on old fans, rather than genuinely creating something new.
 
πŸ‘€ The Lynley reboot has me super excited! I think Leo Suter is gonna bring a fresh vibe to the role, but it's also interesting to see how his character will stack up against Sofia Barclay's DS Havers. You know what would be awesome? If they actually gave us some insight into Lynley's past and why he's so messed up... that's what's always kept me hooked on these stories in the first place. And can we please get some more cases like the Victorian Thames Torso Murderer - those are just mind-blowing! 🀯
 
I'm so stoked for the return of DI Tommy Lynley on TV! 🀩 I've been waiting years for this reboot, and it sounds like Leo Suter is going to bring a fresh vibe to the role. I love how his partnership with DS Barbara Havers is gonna be a clash of cultures – upper-class and street smarts, y'know? πŸ’‘ It's gonna be hella interesting to see how they work together and solve that murder case. And can we talk about the super soap crossover episode between Emmerdale and Coronation Street? 🀯 I'm down for some drama-filled scenes! πŸ˜‚
 
You know what's weird about these cop reboots? They always focus on the 'rich vs poor' thing with their leads, like Lynley and Havers. Can't we just have a detective who's, like, really good at math or something? I mean, that'd be a refreshing change. And don't even get me started on how they're trying to make the UK's soap operas seem more 'realistic' by throwing in drama. It's like they think people can't tell the difference between EastEnders and real life. The University Challenge is the only thing I'm really excited about, though - those contestants are gonna be so buff by the end of it 🀣
 
Omg I'm so stoked Lynley is back!!! πŸ™Œ I've been waiting for like forever! Leo Suter better bring the heat as DI Tommy Lynley, that upper-class background vs Havers' street smarts combo has me hyped for their first murder case. The chalk-and-cheese duo working together is gonna be pure magic πŸ’« And can we talk about that Emmerdale and Coronation Street crossover event? Super soap goals πŸ“Ί I'm also low-key excited for the University Challenge, Lucy Worsley's Victorian-era true crime special sounds πŸ”₯ fascinating! What a week of binge-watching goodness! πŸ˜†
 
man I'm so down for this Lynley reboot πŸ€”, I loved watching Tommy Lynley go about his thing back in the day, but I gotta say Leo Suter's take on it is gonna be super interesting, I mean who wouldn't want to see what happens when upper-class meets street smarts? and that protein doc with Gemma Atkinson sounds wild lol, is it really true that science backs up our love for protein or is it just a fad? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
 
soo much to keep up with on tv rn πŸ“ΊπŸ˜². just saw the trailer for Lynley's reboot & im hooked already! πŸ’‘ i mean we all love a good detective story right? 🧐 and pairing Lynley's posh vibes with Havers' street smarts is pure gold ⚑️. did u know that 75% of true crime documentaries see a rise in viewership during peak TV season? πŸ“ŠπŸ‘€ and meanwhile, protein obsession is still on the rise... 60% of millennials are now eating more plant-based meals & it's expected to be a $15 billion market by 2025 πŸŒ±πŸ’Έ
 
I'm SO hyped for the return of DI Tommy Lynley 🀩! The contrast between his upper-class background and Barbara Havers' street smarts is gonna be EVERYTHING πŸ’₯. I'm also loving the Emmerdale and Coronation Street crossover - that sounds like a wild ride 🎒. And Lucy Worsley's true crime special on Victorian-era murders? Absolutely captivating πŸ‘€. The University Challenge is always a highlight, and I love how Gemma Atkinson is diving into protein obsession - who knew it could be so addictive πŸ˜‚?
 
πŸ“Ί I'm so down for the return of Inspector Lynley! Leo Suter's take on the character is gonna be super interesting, especially with Sofia Barclay's DS Barbara Havers by his side. I love how their opposing backgrounds are gonna clash - it's like a soap opera, but better! πŸ˜‚ The Emmerdale and Coronation Street crossover event sounds wild too... can't wait to see what drama unfolds. πŸ’₯
