It is the TV awards equivalent of the big screen face-off between Batman and Superman – a new category introduced for next year's National Television Awards, which will pit the likes of Sherlock Holmes against John Luther and Sarah Lund against DS Ellie Miller. The new "best detective" prize will take its place alongside the more traditional comedy, drama and best entertainment presenter categories (the last of which has been won by Ant and Dec for 12 years running. Will it be unlucky 13?). The longlist for best supersleuth – like all the NTAs, it is voted for by viewers – features no fewer than 26 of the small screen's finest forensic minds, including fictional figures from newcomers such as The Fall and Broadchurch to slightly longer running investigations (Poirot, New Tricks, Midsomer Murders). Dermot O'Leary will host the awards, live on ITV, from the 02 Arena on 22 January next year. Our money's on Broadchurch, unless DS Miller (Olivia Colman) and DI Alec Hardy (David Tennant) split the vote, in which case its made for Sherlock (or Watson), the BBC1 drama included despite no new episode being broadcast since January last year (when the qualifying period began). Ceremony bosses said they included it because the repeats were so popular. Elementary, my dear Benedict.
