Summary
Part one of two. The return of the crime drama following the work of a team of forensic pathologists. The apparent suicide of a DJ leads Nikki to question her judgement in a strikingly similar case from her past and she brings the potential mistake to the attention of her colleagues, but the news threatens to have repercussions for the family of the deceased, the police and the Lyell Centre. The fresh evidence leads to the conclusion that a copycat killer is at large and Nikki finds evidence that an intruder has been entering her home. Emilia Fox stars
Review
The regular cast is back; Nikki (Emilia Fox) is putting herself in peril again; it’s more of the same, nothing out of the ordinary. Except, wait… Silent Witness is out of the ordinary, way out. It’s a phenomenon.
The series has been going for 20 years. It still gets audiences of more than eight million. That’s Downton territory. Without ever making much of a dent in the pop-cultural landscape, it’s a wildly popular drama, one that the BBC rarely makes a fuss of, but which is quietly huge.
So not surprisingly, nobody involved is tearing up the formula. For the new two-parter Nikki looks at the death of a DJ who cut his wrists in the bath. Except that the case bears striking similarities to a previous case of hers, and soon she’s creeping anxiously around in a dark place, holding a torch, on her own, with someone out to get her…
