From established, popular shows like Sherlock and Call the Midwife to upcoming new series Poldark and The Big Painting Challenge, the next 12 months in the TV world look set to be exciting.

Jenna Coleman is staying on as Peter Capaldi’s companion for a ninth series of Doctor Who, while the hotly-awaited adaptation of JK Rowling’s The Casual Vacancy is also on the way.
