David Tennant’s new ITV drama Des, was watched by 5.4m (ave) last night making it the biggest drama launch on the channel since Cleaning Up in 2019. It continues tonight and concludes tomorrow at 9pm.


Des focuses on one of the most infamous criminal cases in UK history, Dennis Nilsen. Known as the ‘kindly killer’, Nilsen (David Tennant) was a local civil servant who spent five years murdering boys and young men he met on the streets of Soho from 1978 to 1983.
