Don’t miss this excellent series on BBC Entertainment (Channel 120 on DStv)
Silent Witness is an excellent series. Series 12 is currently running on Monday and Tuesday nights at 20h30 on BBC Entertainment on channel 120 on DStv. The programme can also be seen on Saturday nights.
After violence, comes silence…
Forensic pathologists Professor Leo Dalton (William Gaminara), Dr Harry Cunningham (Tom Ward) and Dr Nikki Alexander (Emilia Fox) return in one of the BBC's most successful and longest-running crime dramas.
Series 12 of Silent Witness starts with Leo arrested for drink driving and finding himself doing community service on a rough London estate where gang violence among youngsters is common. When Nikki investigates the murder of a young girl from the same estate, Leo finds himself in the midst of a turf war.
Elsewhere, Harry mentors an eager medical student who seems more interested in the media frenzy over his latest case than pathology, and Nikki investigates an armed raid on a terrorist cell, facing increasing police hostility to her investigation as she begins to suspect the victims are innocent.
