    NEW SILENT WITNESS TONIGHT. As you may know, I spent a lot of time in hospital recently and one of my comforts was watching an episode every night on the ward iPad. Except I watched the individual series in reverse order. Like a nightly regression to the Witness womb.

    I’m enjoying the new series of Silent Witness set in Birmingham. Every episode I get to go “I’ve been there,” “Wait, rewind - I think I recognise that,” and “I’ve drank in that pub!” A character says “I’m lost,” and I go “I KNOW WHERE SHE IS!”

    Watched Stephen Gallagher’s SILENT WITNESS last night - The Legacy (from Drama channel last week). It's a great story - chilling government conspiracy & cover-up that had echoes of Quatermass 2. Also reminded me of the science-y investigations of Eleventh Hour. Superb stuff. @stephengallagher.co.uk

    I am rewatching Silent Witness. This week, I have made it to Series 8, in which the original lead leaves. My favourite pre-credits line has just been uttered. A jockey falls from his horse and medics are called. "I hope it isn't serious." You're in the wrong show for that, I'm afraid.
