Strike

SUNDAY / BBC1 / 9.00PM

The ‘will they won’t they’ chemistry between private detective Cormoran Strike (Tom Burke) and his eager assistant, Robin Ellacott (Holliday Grainger), was captivating when BBC1 crime drama Strike debuted last autumn.

Now, the crime-solvers return for a new two-part case, Career of Evil, based again on one of the best-selling novels written by JK Rowling under the pen name Robert Galbraith.

Strike and Robin’s unspoken bond is strengthened when they receive a macabre parcel containing a severed leg. As they try to work out who has sent it, the case forces them both to revisit the darkest moments from their pasts.

TV Times met up with Tom, 36, and Holliday, 29, to find out more…
