Silent Witness TONIGHT one more chance

Oh she's lovely! Was a really good one tonight.

This series is really good and I agree about Emilia Fox. She is far too thin.

The Ken Bruce lookalike regularly pops up playing a baddy/hard guy. He must be one of Scotland's most employed actors.

Why far too thin? She is obviously healthy, has a healthy child, and is making a success of a career. Why is thinness bad? I used to be thin. (sigh)

I thought her character looked about right for an over-worked forensic pathologist. Her roots needed retouching, her mascara was smudged, she looked exhausted. Much more realistic that those bimbo types from 20 years ago who could emerge from the sea with make up intact and whose hair dried perfectly without the aid of even a hair brush.

Emilia Fox was on Saturday Kitchen Best Bites last weekend. She looked lovely, very slim and her hair looked healthy and lustrous. OK, that was a repeat so she's a bit older now but she's even thinner than the last series and yes, she is beginning to look haggard.

I used to be thin as well [double sigh] Not very long ago my size six granddaughter tried my wedding dress on (size 8) and it looked gorgeous on her.

This episode is so full of 'weel kent' Scottish actors that it's getting like an episode of Taggart!

I had to have the sub titles on.

Didn't see tonights episode, Mr P decided he wanted to watch a magic thing on another channel, but must say when I saw another episode recently, she did look a bit on the thin side. There is slim, like wot I used to be, then there is skinny.

I think Emilia Fox looks gorgeous and not too thin, but agree that subtitles would have been useful!

I just wish they would put the proper bloody lights on when in the middle of a post mortem. Last night ?Nikki had to ask for someone to put another light on. They are supposed to be able to see what they are doing all the time its vital in that job.
I blame silly trendy directors trying to create a "mood" with their lighting.

They could try speaking up as well. Mumble mumble dramas seem to be the going thing now.

I thought it was just me, the hearing must be finally going! I found the Scottish accents together with background music too exhausting - we gave in and watched another episode of "Breaking Bad" on DVD instead!

I have had a tele day. I thought it was very good but I don't like the Irish pathologist. I would give him a s--p for being so arrogant if I was his partner.

It was a good story none the less, but Waking the Dead was better.

I have a couple of episodes recorded and waiting to be watched. To be honest, some of the early episodes in this series were so baffling that I have lost interest in the series as a whole. I'll keep them until I am really desperate for something to watch.

I agree that previous episodes were totally baffling. Less mumbling and more light would be helpful. I am Scottish and maybe I have been out of the country for too many years but I was having trouble understanding what some of them were saying. It is a much better series though.

Anything more ludicrous than tonight's episode? A psychopathic couple who have committed a string of murders are surrounded by uniformed police on a London Underground platform, and allowed to stand side by side, unhandcuffed, while they are harangued by a demented Irish pathologist, at which point, understandably, they throw themselves under a train.

grumpaa! I haven't watched it yet and you've given it away!

I thought this weeks episodes were good, a good twist at the end that I hadn't guessed. I won't say what it was jings. I do agree with grumppa about the throwing themselves under the train though.

Sorry, I was so irritated I couldn't contain myself.

If I haven't seen an episode of whatever I stay away from the thread discussing it.

I have recorded the last two episodes so am not going to read your post grumppa!

Good for you merlot.

I like it! Have to put sub-titles on though. It's a drama, not real life.

I think that so far, this series is much better than previous ones, mainly because the sound quality has improved immensely. We`ve enjoyed both stories so far, and looking forward to the next one. The young police detective in this week`s story was quite tasty!

Clever DH knew last night the true story behind the cops father in the sub plot.

Brilliant acting by the male suspect, he gave me the creeps. I wasn't expecting the twist at the end.
