Maverick: ITV (UK)

One of itv's undoubted treasures is Nick Elliott, the broadcaster's long-serving drama chief. But what, you may ask, is a drama chief doing in realscreen? Well it's the fact that he has consistently delivered provocative, compelling docudramas. April 2007, for example, saw the broadcast of Murder in the Outback (a look at the murder of British backpacker Peter Falconio in Australia) while 2006 was notable for See No Evil: The Moors Murders, a critically acclaimed look at one of the uk's most infamous murder cases. Go back far enough and you find that Paul Greengrass (United 93) cut his teeth on Elliott-commissioned itv docudramas such as Bloody Sunday and The Murder of Stephen Lawrence.
