Silent Witness marked its 241st and 242nd episodes. That is some achievement, testament both to the fact that British viewers do love an evening at the cadaver carvery, but also to Silent Witness’s powers of regeneration. Go to Full Review Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) 01/10/2024
3/5
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Graham D @RT51583550 01/09/2024 Cracking start to the new series. I was worried that Silent Witness was running out of steam but this was an excellent two-parter. John Hannah was the standout performer but the plot twists kept me engaged until the climactic conclusion. See more Read all reviews
