The nights may be getting longer but settling down on the sofa for your evening viewing is still a must and it's getting more interesting as ITV release its latest drama.

DI Ray started on Monday night and airs for three more nights throughout this week. ITV say the series "tracks a compelling murder investigation whilst exploring the emotive subject of racism in the workplace.

It asks difficult questions about what it’s like to be British but feel ‘other’. And it does so whilst sending viewers on a thrilling ride through the murky underworld of Birmingham and beyond." Set in Birmingham, DI Ray introduces us to Leicester-born Rachita Ray, a police officer who takes on a case that forces her to confront a lifelong personal conflict between her British identity and her South Asian heritage.

Rachita achieves the promotion she's been waiting for when she's asked to join a homicide investigation.
