Silent Witness - time to retire this

Am I alone in thinking Silent Witness is stretching believability to the limit? I have watched this since the early days and always loved it but the current stories and cast just leave me cold.

I find myself studying Nicki’s hair a lot, I find it fascinating the way it’s up in a complicated style one minute (usually when out on a job) then down the next. I’m very envious as I can’t manage a simple plait and have less and less hair these days. Can’t stand Jack and find their relationship unconvincing but like some of the storylines. Think they should kill Jack off.

They always seem to run series that little bit too long. I suppose they just run out of fresh ideas and it is easier to do this. I loved Vera but I think they have been sensible in stopping it now.

We’ve just watched an old episode where Harry goes off to Hungary and he finds himself mixed up with gangsters. At the end of part one we see him get shot and then set on fire. I turned to DH and said “well he’s out then, there’s no coming back from that”. But, guess what!!
Yes one has to suspend belief but we enjoy it. I can’t comment on the latest series as I guess it will be a very long time until we catch up.

I like it.. Moving it to Birmingham will hopefully be different.

I love it. With so much rubbish on the TV these days it’s good to have something different to watch. The soaps are all appallingly bad, I used to watch them all but these days they’re terrible. So it’s a relief to find something half decent to watch.
