Season 28 Review: Season 28 concludes on a wonderful high note, and with a new challenge on the horizon for the team, this show is sure to keep us all on our toes. Read full review

Season 27 Review: I would not in a million years have guessed what the outcome would be. Let's just say it is as black as pitch, and, like so many Silent Witness plots, completely OTT. Read full review

Season 27 Review: As usual, the lead characters peered at some bodies and exchanged some perfunctory dialogue. But the plot was sufficiently intriguing to make me come back for more. And that’s why this show is still hanging in there. Read full review

Season 28 Review: This was a decent episode and Sean Pertwee as DI Flynn, who wants to retire, is a solid, convincing presence. Read full review

Season 28 Review: Steed – a distinguished veteran actor most recently seen in Paddington 2 and Fisherman’s Friends – is an asset to any TV show and has already added some welcome pep to the proceedings. Her maverick spikiness will provide some welcome contrast to Jack and Nikki cooing at each other. Read full review

Season 27 Review: You don’t watch Silent Witness for its sparkling dialogue or its psychologically compelling characterisation. But more often than not it delivers with its no-nonsense storytelling. Read full review
