Silent Witness - why is there a repeat on?

30 replies

Why is a show that has been on before being shown again?

Is it because the previous episodes have been quite dark?

Was just about to ask the same thing!!!

Was just wondering the same thing... Feeling quite cheated! Do wonder why though....

Oh thank goodness you have posted this. I thought it was now so rubbish that they were recycling old stories. Maybe they're showing this again as they had complaints about last week's. Or maybe just realised that this series is utter shite?

not just me who is confused then!

StellaAndFries · 06/05/2012 21:16

I did wonder why it was similar to an episode from the last series Blush

LaurieFairyCake · 06/05/2012 21:17

I've just started a new thread to ask this. Thought I was going crazy.

If it makes any difference my sky box was saying last week 6/6 so am assuming there were only 6 episodes but they've run out of stuff now?

AuntieMaggie · 06/05/2012 21:22

They cancelled one earlier in the series about sex crime as it was too similar to the rochdale case so they've had to fill the time with a repeat.

gnocci · 06/05/2012 21:24

Last week couldnt have been last in series surely?! They usually end on a high, you know, with something actually err happening?!

So what else can I watch now seeing that I have already seen that episode and I do NOT want to watch BGT with DH (not because he is watching it, but because it is BGT!)

Can we watch the missing one online? It's the one where Harry and Nikki get it on!

gnocci · 06/05/2012 21:28

So why havent they shown the last episode??? odd...!

gnocci · 06/05/2012 21:28

harry and nikki get it on!!??? what!??? how can they NOT SHOW THIS!!????

difficultpickle · 06/05/2012 21:31

I assume it won't be on until the trial is over.

SunshineOutdoors · 06/05/2012 21:34

Boo! I came on here as I knew you lot would know. Disappointing. But I did think this series hasn't been as good - especially last week.

PoohBearsHole · 06/05/2012 21:35

It will be available on the dvd............

yup but why would I want to buy that when all the others have been hugely disappointing?

TheSmallPrint · 06/05/2012 21:40

The last few episodes with Leo have been soooooooooooo annoying and I love SW.

SpanglyGiraffe · 06/05/2012 22:04

I haven't watched SW for ages, so I'm a bit lost.. But as tonights episode is from a previous series, does it mean that Harry doesn't actually die?!

fatzak · 06/05/2012 22:13

I thought it was good compared to the last few this series!! Strangely missed this one and am so relieved to hear that Harry doesn't die!

Stumbleine · 06/05/2012 22:27

What??? You mean it isn't true, he's not really dead? I had no idea it was a repeat and was sobbing like a good un! (In my defense I am pregnant and hormonal).

Really really?
