Silent Witness S29

Premieres 4th February, every Wednesday and Thursday. Express from UK

The team of forensic pathologists and scientists face five more gripping cases – ranging from global politics to the more personal. As Nikki, Jack, Harriet and Kit settle into their new lab – The Bowman Centre of Excellence, in Birmingham – their caseload remains as complex as ever. Investigations feature cutting-edge AI being weaponised to fuel racial tensions. A confession that reignites a case that swept the nation. An elderly gentleman found impaled by a screwdriver. Elsewhere, Jack faces a life-threatening predicament. And the death of a Chinese-British activist ignites complex international tensions.
