But despite their new surroundings, the cases remain as challenging and complex as ever – which will impact personal relationships, as teased by Emilia Fox.

"When I look back on the series there is always a theme to them and the last series was definitely about love," she explained.

"The theme of this series, across the stories, is trust and what we can believe in and what’s real. That crosses from stories about AI, to trust in relationships and Jack has some big storylines in this series."

In the last episode, Jack unwittingly found himself part of a far right group, but despite managing to extricate himself, there was a troubling development at the end of the episode, just as Nikki and Jack were moving into their new home.

"He's more affected by the trials and tribulations of his work and we see that play out majorly in this series," said David Caves. "Jack is really tested... a very personal odyssey he must go on alone."

Silent Witness usually airs on Monday night on BBC One and iPlayer, but there's been some schedule confusion of late after one episode was rescheduled due to a real-life incident, airing at a later date instead.

Death in Paradise also aired in its place on Monday 16 February after the murder mystery was moved due to an FA cup tie.
