TV Tonight: John Simm's Brighton Cop Hunts Missing Woman in Grace Return

John Simm is back on the case as DI Roy Grace returns for a sixth season of the popular crime drama set in and around Brighton.

Rishi Nair from Grantchester appears as the husband of the missing woman, adding a layer of complexity to the mystery that is not immediately clear.
