Silent Witness TONIGHT one more chance

Oh for an edit button , sorry for the poor typing!

Same here nuttynana. I found the close up of the post-mortems more than a bit Gory. I also felt that the storyline tried too hard to be clever. Over complicated plots. Perhaps it will improve.

Emilia Fox needs to eat a few pies.

Bring back Amanda Burton!

Anyone remember French and Saunders' spoof, 'Witless Silence'? Wonderful!

Oh Witless Silence was wonderful! I've not been able to watch Amanda Burton since, I just sit and count the mannerisms
I shall miss William whatshisname who got blown up in the last one

I would prefer to see the close ups of staged post mortems than the scenes re-enacting the actual violence being investigated, you get in some crime dramas. I find those quite unnecessary.

"Prefer" is the wrong word, but you probably know what I mean.

Mr P and I watched some re-runs of the Amanda Burton witless silence Silent Witness recently, and spent much time giggling and muttering "stares into middle distance" . Well, I did, Mr P's not really the giggling type, more of a hearty chortle chap. Although he has been known to snigger occasionally, but I feel that it's better not to encourage that sort of thing.

Liked her new hairstyle though and the new boss is rather nice.

I thought that tonight`s episode was very good, the first time for several series that we haven`t struggled with poor sound quality, hope that it continues in the same vein.

I was just so pleased that there was something on I wanted to watch and at a time I could watch it and am all set for tonight. I for one love the gory bits ( but not any violence ) probably explained by the fact I may well have inherited some of my mothers genes. She was a theatre sister during the war.

We enjoyed it too. I think the new boss has got off on the wrong foot to put it mildly! It will be interesting to see how long it takes to bring them round, if he ever does. Leo is a hard act to follow.

What happened to the rather gorgeous younger one with dark hair

Nelliemoser, I agree-particularly when they keep giving flashbacks....or was that Waking The Dead?

I have never watched it before but gave it a go due to the fact that there was little else of interest to me. I found it quite complicated and gory but what struck me also were the numerous outfits that Emilia Fox wore, she seemed to have a different one on in almost every change of scene; she is very beautiful though and the new boss is very dishy. Doubt if I will watch it again, violence and crime are not my forte, I would rather read a good book.

Health
Any gransnetters been ill over xmas with what feels like flu without a cold I am aching all over been like this for days my throat feels as if Ihave swallowed razor blades and chest hurts if I just climb the stairs cannot seem to get rid of it moan over

I couldn't take my eyes off Emiila Fox's hair. She'd go into a room sporting a wavy style and come back out with it straightened.

merlotgran I thought that I was seeing things but obviously not. At least the start of this series is not as convoluted as the last. I enjoyed this 2 parter and only gave it a go because there was nothing else on and I was fed up with the last series.

I think Emilia Fox's slender frame is a family trait, they are all very lean. Did enjoy it though and as a bonus (at least for me) The Bridge is on BBC4 tonight so that's my evenings viewing sorted.

Just watched it.

I don't like the male character, can't remember his name. He is rude, arrogant and if I worked with him he would annoy me intently. What was the point to his ,fighting bout' ??
Not a very realistic character to me.

I quite liked the new boss, at least his acting was less wooden than the actor who played Leo.

If you had a new boss I don't think you would sulk around like they did or try and ignore him surely. Story plot OK but still a bit wooden acting wise by the main payers sadly. Waking the Dead was by far better.

Better than the last series. At least it's watchable.

I used to despise the gratuitous gore we had before. It should be possible to hold an audience with something other than shock value.

Does any one else think Emilia Fox looks haggard. The weight loss. Has aged her and her hair looks dry and brittle. She was such an attractive girl.

I've only watched the first two so far but I thought she looked absolutely skeletal. And you're right Kiora it is terribly aging!
