Silent Witness

It was an uncomfortable watch for me. The abuse of old and vulnerable people quite shocking.

Too uncomfortable for me too. Too near to home.
So I watched Wallace and Grommit (vengeance most fowl) on iplayer.

I agree, it was an unsettling theme. I really liked the two new people at the Lyell Centre though.

Unnecessarily gruesome and horrible subject.. I'm not keen on Silent Witness.. and how many professionals would tolerate their boss playing a piano whilst discussing a case..

I thought the programme, which I used to like, and make allowance for its inaccuracies, has become far removed from any semblance of reality.
Rubbish in fact.

An elderly lady with her piano as the Boss? Very unlikely…...

Well, it is completely unrealistic rubbish anyway but if you suspend belief and watch it as fiction it was quite good.

It was unnecessarily gruesome.

Sorry Pascal, I see I’ve pinched your phrase….

I think it's fascinating but I preferred Amanda Redman plus I cannot stand that drippy, blooming 'Fox' woman
Another Nepo brat. 🙄

I too thought it was uncomfortable to watch. But I did, glad the old fella got revenge.

Amanda Burton?

Amanda Burton always irritated me, all that long, meaningful gazing into the distance - and of course French and Saunders really finished it. I like all the cast and don't mind how unreal it is. I just like following the clues.

It is very irritating because a forensic pathologist and a forensic scientist rush around acting like police officers, whereas the actual DI stands around doing nothing much at all.
Then we have a couple of female police officers straight out of a Carry On film.

Suspend belief and enjoy 😂

As a long time fan of Silent Witness, I switched off at this point.

Is she the boss?

Or an analyst?
What, who, why?

The 'elderly lady' is the new professor.

Professor of what?

Allira probably forensic pathology. Possibly another related science, but as I switched off before any background was disclosed I can't really be more specific.

Thanks Aldom

Not Professor of Music then. 😀

I've just found out who plays the DI - Sean Pertwee, thought I recognised him but couldn't place him.

Is it me or was it really gruesome? I had to look away quite a few times.

Same here. The romance stuff is annoying.

I doubt many forensic pathologists can watch this c**p. They contaminate every murder scene they attend.
