Silent Witness, new series Jan 18

[Iceland22]

I usually love this but missed the end of the last series. What’s the back story? Why has Nicky been off work?
I also missed the first five minutes tonight.

WHY would a pathologist be sitting in on the interview of a police murder suspect?!

Also, they appear to be the only pathologists in that massive lab, and yet every crime scene requires all of them to attend together. They must have a pile of bodies the size of Mount Everest backing up whilst they all stand around the same crime scene looking at each other meaningfully.

Gawd help the people who die ‘boringly’ with no opportunity for Nicki to pout at what’s his chops with the muscles and then put herself in danger. They’ll never get post-mortemed.

Also love the fact that apparently pathologists not only sit in on police interviews, but run the tactics as well, whipping out the unreliable forensic evidence whenever they fancy it.

Who killed Sally then?

The male undertaker

who killed Livtar?

The girlfriend of the other school friend who was in on the murder of the couple with the baby. She killed them too (although the woman died due to an accident)

I’ve not watched many series of this but this one seems worse than the last.

I did like Nikki’s coat though.

Thanks @Soupdragon, I'm glad somebody was paying attention!

If I watch again next week though I will probably be back on here asking you for clarification.

I think it was more luck that I managed to extract the information from the plot!

Glad I’m not the only one who found this new season “Starter” totally baffling and a bit wet!🙄

Do pathologists really double up as detectives? Can’t see it somehow. (Would love to hear from any real pathologists on Mnet.). Where on earth would they find the time? Surely the number of PM’s they have to conduct along with the various inquests they have to attend alone would keep them more than occupied.

I was hoping Dr Mac would stay (random Green Wing reference)

It's such a load of tosh but I love Nikki's wardrobe.

God knows how she affords it along with her multi-million pound house.

Glad it’s not just me that didn’t get whodunnit! Thought I was paying attention but obviously will have to try harder if I watch it next week

Dr Mac - reckon he might be a 'stayer' rather than being a one-off appearance?

We call it 'Violent Shitness' in our house. Pile of 💩 (but agree re Nicky's wardrobe)

It's such a load of tosh

I know, but still watch it every time.
