I watch it – but find it very irritating. Some of the science is unbelievable and the forensic staff just wouldn’t get involved all the stuff (chasing criminals, visiting victims etc.) that this lot do.
I just can’t believe that they don’t do research…. surely people in their positions wouldn’t be as involved as they are in the programme….. they think they are detectives! Also the acting of the detectives is very bad…. I still watch though.
Absolute twaddle these days! I tried dipping into it a few months ago but stopped at the point where a pathologist was giving mouth to mouth. Hasn’t she seen the Vinny Jones advert?? 😉
I love Silent Witness. I know it’s far fetched, and they wouldn’t get involved in the police side of things as much. But, I can’t help it, I still enjoy it!
Love them all, always thought Lewis my fav previously but do lean more to Endeavour for similar reasons. I do however also love Inspector George Gently.
Started watching the last in the series – got half way through the first part and when one of the team jumped in, once again, inappropriately. I’d had enough and deleted it. I will, however miss singing along to the theme tune! ♫ “Testator silens….” ♫
No but husband is.
I am but Nikki is starting to really get on my nerves! Such a busy body!
I said exactly the same thing last night. I liked her before but in this series her nose is everywhere ?
I think this series and especially this storyline is so unbelievable
Not at all like in Sam Ryan’s day 🙂
Classic series; been running for 20 years or more
No!
Me neither
I love Silent Witness but not sure about this weeks episode
Over the top don’t you think?
I watch it – but find it very irritating. Some of the science is unbelievable and the forensic staff just wouldn’t get involved all the stuff (chasing criminals, visiting victims etc.) that this lot do.
This is exactly what I have been complaining about. Doesn’t happen in books I read and authors thoroughly research these things.
I have to confess it annoys me when someone refers to CSIs in british-set books – I’m sure they’re SOCOs here. (but I guess I’m just being picky!)
It is becoming much more frequently used in the UK. You’ll see CSI roles advertised. I found that when researching and updating knowledge.
Yes..but don’t understand why or how they are so involved in the police investigations!
I agree . They are pathologists!
Is she now dead ?
Is it Nikki or is it her friend?
Oh I thought it was too blonde for her friend but hope it was lol
@Sylvia you might be right!
It was Nicki on the slab at the end but hoping it’s a nightmare/dream scene.
Cheers Laura , I thought it was .
It’s getting very preachy/screechy, moving away from crimesolving and into issues.
I just can’t believe that they don’t do research…. surely people in their positions wouldn’t be as involved as they are in the programme….. they think they are detectives!
Also the acting of the detectives is very bad…. I still watch though.
I watch too but it is now disappointing and unbelievable
My thoughts exactly. I’ve been a fan since the Sam Ryan days….but now it’s far less enjoyable/believable than the older series are.
Absolutely love it. Wish Richard Lintern had a bigger role in the series and it wasn’t just Nicki.
Yes, yesterdays villain scares me witless mind.
I nearly jumped out of my skin at one point!
Was Jack involved? I had eyes half closed just in case lol.
@Hel Near the beginning when he was on the road
Ahh yes..that what scared me too. Think tonight’s gonna be interesting going on the trailer..
@Hel Not really believable though?
Oh god no, not remotely and think was better a few years back but still enjoy it.
It ws very good when it first came out. Ground-breaking
Love it ?
I hope she’s not dead, it is the final episode in this series though. ?
Did you see the trailer at end of last night’s?
@Hel yep, maybe they slowed her heart rate down to get her out of the country. We’ll see tonight. X
That we shall.
Final episode but there will be another season (21)
Umm… that was a tad misleading then, wasn’t it? 🙁
Have you seen the final epi
sode? ;I don’t want to ruin it for you!
Me. love it x
Used to love it but far too far fetched and convoluted now Have given up!
Absolute twaddle these days! I tried dipping into it a few months ago but stopped at the point where a pathologist was giving mouth to mouth. Hasn’t she seen the Vinny Jones advert?? 😉
It’s AWFUL, especially if you’ve worked on both sides of the investigatory divide.
Gave up this season. I think we watched it because we thought each other was enjoying it – compared notes and ditched it!
Yes, first I’ve watched since the days of amanda burton
Loved her ?
I love Silent Witness. I know it’s far fetched, and they wouldn’t get involved in the police side of things as much. But, I can’t help it, I still enjoy it!
I watched it for the first time in years a couple of weeks ago. Spent the whole show shouting at the screen.
Yes, I watch it!
I had thought about watching this again as haven’t seen for many years. Also recording Endeavour. Thoughts on that would be appreciated too.
Endeavour is great.
Endeavour is awesome, always hard pressed to know which I enjoy more. Endeavour, Morse or Lewis
@Hel I like Endeavour best! The research that must go into it… the costumes and sets… it’s great
Love them all, always thought Lewis my fav previously but do lean more to Endeavour for similar reasons. I do however also love Inspector George Gently.
Love Endeavor the new series takes forever to get to Australia though. Love Lewis as well.
Sounds like Endeavour is a yes. Thanks!
I’ve been watching it for a year have run out of episodes now. Absolutely loved it. I hope there is more coming.
There is 20 years of episodes, look them up!
And more to come
Yes I have I started at the beginning and have just finished series 16 .
Occasionally. Went off it a few years ago.
I’ve recorded it xx
Yes, enjoyed all but one episode of this series
