Patience is Channel 4’s crime drama set in beautiful York. Plus: more trouble with Claudia Winkleman in The Traitors. Here’s what to watch this evening
9pm, Channel 4
Patience (Ella Maisy Purvis) is an autistic woman who works in the criminal records department of Yorkshire police, but whose true talent is in criminology (self-taught since she was a child). When a series of apparent suicides are thought to be linked, detective Bea Metcalf (Laura Fraser) realises Patience is an asset to the case and asks for her help. But by the end of this slow-burn opener, we learn that one of the victims is familiar to Patience, and the story gets going. Hollie Richardson
