Silent Witness series 28 starts tonight 6 January 2025 on BBC 1

[IwantToRetire]

Starting this thread (as I did this time last year) as the comments on the episodes on telly addicts are always so funny it makes it worth while sitting through the totally unconvincing plots, characters, so called relationships and ...

But who knows maybe this year will be different!

I think they worked out quite early on that it wasn't air borne, otherwise all passengers would be showing signs of infection.

And that was important as it also gave Jack something to do. ie what could it be if not air borne.

So happy to have found this thread!!

I adore Silent Witness! Well, apart from Jack who I find quite irritating. The way he walks is quite comical….like he thinks he’s some kind of super hero!

But anyway, I’ve just finished last night’s episode and I really enjoyed them both as it was something different.

I also felt quite sorry for the dog…..that cage looked quite small, where was his food and water? And what he’d needed a wee or poo? Would he just have to travel for 9 hours in a dirty cage, sitting in his own mess with no food or water?? And in the dark too ☹️

I’m also hating how beautiful Nikki always looks, no matter what trauma she has been through. I’m only jealous though!

@NorthernGirl1981 I wasn't sure on last night's episode but j felt the same about the dog! Was it the last in the series? Xxx

@woodenbatandball , 2 more next week and should be key as the whole production of the show is moving to Birmingham for series 29 so it's the end of the current set for the Lyell centre. Plus there is a photo spoiler on this thread.

I couldn't see the spoiler unless it was the waistcoat photo? So Jack and Niki will be no more?

No spoilers please.

I can't see the photo now. Looking forward to next week, it feels like a change is due with the tiny Lyell centre cast this series.

My main horrified thought from this week’s episode: it blooming better not be that easy to open an aeroplane toilet door from the outside! And if it really is, then they’ve just gone and shown people how to do it on national television! Can’t even imagine the number of “pranks” that could lead to.

So now when using an aeroplane bathroom, not only will I be traumatised by the scary flushing whooshing sound but I’ll be constantly on edge watching the door for signs of imminent forced entry. 😮

@TwoDrifters2 sorry to say it is! I've seen cabin crew do this many times on a plane

I'm really enjoying this series, it's a lot better than the last one!
Enjoyed this weeks episodes, however it hit of my fears of flying and getting sick. I cannot do vomit and the thought of being stuck on a plane with someone (people) vomiting blood?!! I'd be jumping out the window.
Nikki looked amazing (as always) the whole time tho!!

@woodenbatandball That’s such stressful knowledge!

Although I suppose it might come in handy one day if a child gets stuck…

Everyone knows that 😂😂😂

Well it was deliberate !

I love Kit! It's the sense of accomplishment on her face when she discovers stuff . Yeah I know it's not real 😂

I discovered some stuff which was hurried in some files today at work. I channels my inner Kit her sense of accomplishment

I Also love Kit

Another vote for Kit. She's great and Francesca Mills plays her brilliantly.

I think that this series has been one of the best for years. The 2 new characters are great.

Even Nikki and Jack's relationship seems to be less annoying! Still got the last 2 episodes to go though!

I know - it turned out to be significant!

@veraswaistcoat I’m clearly in the minority 😀

I would have hoped assumed it needed some specialised tool that the stewards alone had access to.

😊

This weeks episodes reminded me a bit of The Cassandra Crossing which was on Talking Pictures TV last night

Nikki's house is gorgeous but I don't want to see her getting it on with Jack thanks 🙈

I like her kitchen.

Are we to assume that Joe Absolom's character is schizophrenic and those 4 friends are the voices inside his head?

Just started episode one! I think Jack will ask the piano player to be his best (wo) man
