KiLLeRs
Killers (stylised as KiLLeRs) is an upcoming British crime thriller drama series, created and principally by newcomer Jack Sullivan, that set to be broadcast on BBC1. No airdate has yet been announced. The series was commissioned by former controller of BBC drama commissioning Ben Stephenson and head of drama Polly Hill in October 2015.

Plot
KiLLeRs follows the work of an elite squad of major crime detectives based in the Alpha Unit at Greencastle Police Station, inner-city Birmingham. Alpha are unique in that they are the only unit in the country who are made up entirely of disgraced officers who, for one reason or another, have been allowed to retain a position in the force due to talent, capability or knowledge of internal corruption. Alpha are headed by DCI Jacob McDonnell (Sam Riley), a thirty-something cop whose graduate education has left him without the much needed experience of life on the city's streets. McDonnell was formerly the overseeing officer of a major drugs unit in West London. He was transferred when he covered up for one of the officers on his squad who purposely destroyed evidence relating to one of the biggest drugs gangs the unit had ever busted, leading to the gang leader walking free from court and subsequently murdering all of those prepared to stand against him.

Luckily, McDonnell has a team of streetwise juniors who have all risen through the ranks to become part of the unit. McDonnell's second in command, Mary Kesgrave (Stefanie Martini), joined the force when she was just eighteen years of age and cut her teeth during the notorious Close Hand riots in Belfast in 2001. Following her transfer into Alpha, two of Kesgrave's former colleagues, who stuck trustingly to her like glue since their training days at Hendon, have also joined the team: Rose Silverwood (Pearl Mackie) and Graham Lawson (James Baxter). Rose began her career with West Mercia police, but became embroiled in a tangled web of drink and drugs when she agreed to cover for one of her best friends, who purposely withheld evidence in a murder trial. Having turned up to a major rape trial off her face on cocaine, Rose's evidence was discounted and the case was thrown out of court. But having gone through a long stint in Rehab, Rose is ready to get back out on the streets; however, her former boyfriend Curtis (David Leon) is determined to make life difficult for her at work - and at home.

Graham had only just passed his Sergeant's exams in Ilford when he was discovered to have given false evidence in an assault trial in order to help one of his friends get her violent ex-boyfriend sent to jail. His perjury was discovered, and he was given the choice to take a transfer - and lose his promotion - or be sacked from the force altogether. Graham made the wise choice to save his career and join Alpha alongside Rose and Mary. McDonnell's biggest thorn is station boss Paul Eastwood (Tom Ward), a long-serving former senior office in Metropolitan Police, who has taken a certain disliking to the new influx of untrained pen-pushing 'plastic' cops. Eastwood, however, is a fair leader and is prepared to give McDonnell a chance - unlike his own boss, David Burnham (Billy Murray), who is unimpressed with McDonnell's posting to the squad, and is prepared to catch him out at any given opportunity.

As well as the principal members of his team, Jacob also has to deal with his younger sister, Janine (Zoe Tapper). Janine has been by his side since the day that he joined the force, but isn't afraid to stand on her own two feet. Janine previously worked as a Detective Sergeant under Jacob in West London, but following his dismissal, demanded a transfer to Alpha, but her request was denied. She subsequently went on to sleep with her new commanding officer in order to blackmail him into transferring her into the unit, but her deceit was uncovered and she was subsequently sacked from the force. PC Kat Hayward (Emer Kenny) is also another close ally of Jacob. Kat was implicated in the unintentional death of a prostitute, who was incorrectly held in the cells for longer than the agreed detention time. After the victim died from heart complications, Kat and another officer were taken to court by the victim's family and found guilty of neglect of duty. Kat was transferred to Alpha after learning that her inspector had intentionally framed her for neglect out of jealousy of her relationship with none other than Graham, who is less than pleased to be working alongside his former lover.

The first series of KiLLeRs sees the Alpha team investigating a number of disturbing cases, which all appear to be somehow linked. These include a sixteen year old unsolved disappearance, an unsolved double murder, the execution of a parish priest and a savage attack on a homeless busker. Forced to work together, the officers have no choice but to set aside their illicit pasts and join forces for the greater good. This is their opportunity to start a fresh - but will they make the most of it?

Production
KiLLeRs was initially commissioned as a single series of eight episodes. Scripts for this series were written by series creator Jack Sullivan, Ed Whitmore, Declan Croghan and Graham Mitchell. Set to direct this series were Niall Fallon, Rob Burke, Lisa Mulcahy and Orla Walsh. KiLLeRs was initially envisioned as a series of stand-alone stories, but the decision was later made to turn the series into an ongoing story arc across eight episodes.

Following strong viewer appreciation ratings, and initial critical acclaim from internal BBC executives, a second series was commissioned before the first had even finished broadcasting. This series would feature ten episodes. Whitmore and Sullivan returned as main scriptwriters, this time joined by Mick Ford as the other sole scriptwriter. Set to direct this series were Ronan Burke, Marek Losey, Matt Carter and Imogen Murphy.

Stigma
Stigma is an upcoming, original six-part crime drama due to be broadcast on RTÉ One. The series was created by Jack Sullivan and stars as Brendan Fahey, a disgraced Garda Síochána detective who faces the tough decision of making a clean break or aiding his former partner, Siobhan O'Kane, who is currently being investigated by GSOC on suspicion of corruption.

Stigma is a spin-off from KiLLeRs, although unconnected. A third series of KiLLeRs was scripted by Sullivan and Ed Whitmore, and presented to BBC executives shortly after the finale of the first season. This series was described as an "epic saga" and the "tie" which links all of the ongoing storylines together. Whitmore said he was "honored" to be asked by Sullivan to pen what was described as a "pivotal" and "groundbreaking" finale for the series. However, the BBC refused to comission a third series until the second series had broadcast; after which, they subsequently decided not to renew it.

The third series was adapted into an original story, Stigma, and was subsequently commissioned by RTÉ, with John Strickland, Richard Stokes and Tom Hall set to direct. Sole writing credits for this series belong to both Sullivan and Whitmore. Stigma is identical in length to the planned final series of KiLLeRs, and some plot elements have been retained.

Following a similar format to TFI Friday, The Big Night Out will feature a range of celebrity guests, live music and games, broadcast live on location from a different town or city every week. Every episode will feature a number of locations, such as pubs, bars and nightclubs, and will attempt to recreate the essence of a "big night out". Location changes will happen during designed advert breaks in the broadcast. Each episode will be 90-minutes long (although an additional 15 minutes will be allowed for overspill) and will broadcast on Saturday evenings, from 8:30pm onwards.

Features
The show includes a number of weekly features, including:
 * The First Drink - An interview with a celebrity guest at a designated pub or bar
 * Walk and Talk - A 'hot topics' section with members of the studio audience offering their opinion on the most popular talking points of the week
 * Drunk Snooker - A member of the studio audience will take on a celebrity guest in a game of 'Drunk Snooker', in which every failure to score will result in them having to take a 'shot' containing an unknown concoction
 * Celebrity Karaoke - A celebrity guest will perform a song on karaoke, chosen by a member of the studio audience
 * To the Club/The Dance-Off - Members of the studio audience will head to a nearby nightclub to go head to head in a dance-off, which will also include celebrity guests
 * Trying to Pull/First Dates - Celebrity guests will play matchmaker for lonely hearts looking for love
 * The Taxi Home - A taxi will drop members of the studio audience off at home, where they may be lucky to be accompanied by a celebrity guest for a nightcap!

There will also be other celebrity interviews and live performances throughout the series.

An initial run of six episodes has been given the greenlight by Channel 4. The initial locations featured will be: Norwich, Manchester, Brighton, Swansea, Glasgow and Lowestoft (as this is the presenter's hometown.)

Celebrity guests on the first episode (Norwich) will include Ed Balls, Olivia Colman, Stephen Fry, Jake Humphrey, Myleene Klass, Ed Sheeran and Delia Smith.

Celebrity guests on the final episode (Lowestoft) will include Tim Westwood, Anthony Ogogo, The Darkness, Hannah Spearritt, Jason Statham and Matthew Macfadyen.
