Silent Witness TONIGHT one more chance

Thank you Merlot, it`s been puzzling me for years!

At least after this week's I could go to sleep. Last week I had to leave the bedroom light on.

It's called Silencium, number - by John Hale.

Testator Silens
Costestes e spiritu
Silentium
Angeli Silens
Costestes e spiritu
Silentium.

The first three lines are what you hear at the start of the tv prog

Re the Silent Witness title music, are there actually words to it? If so, does anyone know what they are, because I`ve been trying for years to make them out, with no luck.

Nobody ever smiles on these programmes. Same on CSI.

She did have her 'off' weeks!

PLEASE do not mention Amanda Burton. She made the whole thing unwatchable for me.

I think she was just being thoughtful, but instead often just looked mournful! When I am thinking hard my eyes narrow and my whole face crinkles up. I doubt actresses are allowed to do that in case of wrinkles.

And who could forget Amanda Burton, scalpel poised, gazing wistfully into the far distance?

The series is almost 20 years old! Incredible. Harry Cunningham. I liked him. I went right off Leo when he had an affair.

I bet if I watched the early series again, the advances in forensic science would be incredible. It was the science behind it that attracted me at first, but now it all seems to have taken a back seat. I rather miss that.

I enjoyed it again. Maybe not factually correct but it's a drama not a documentary. Not everybody talks like what we do. Think Louise, the social worker said that Lizzies mother had learning difficulties which would explain how she presented herself.

His name was 'thingy'

I think he's meant to be abrupt and abrasive. He's always been like that. I miss the actor who was in it before.

Obviously not enough to remember his name though!

I am now totally up to the minute with all six progs. and I have enjoyed all of them.

I still don't like the Irish pathologist much, why does he annoy me, is it his acting or character? Probably just me.

I think she's supposed to sound poor and fick.

What if the characters aren't meant to speak proper?

phoenix I certainly would of!!!!!

It grates more when written, I think may people in everyday speech shorten the word i.e. could've but when seen in print as "could of" it is very annoying! I found in a novel I read recently, you'd think that somebody at the proof reading / copy editing stage would HAVE noticed!

I also heard "could of" mentioned on the 24 hour news service and on Silent Witness. It grates with me.

I wish Emilia Fox would cut down a bit on that facial expression denoting thinking/puzzlement, a sort of half frown.

Call me picky if you like (and you probably will), but I was very disappointed last night to hear one of the central characters repeatedly saying "I could OF" rather than "I could HAVE". Would it have been so difficult to get this right?

Big change from being Freddy Threepwood in Emsworth for that actor. I can't help liking him. Don't know why!

I just caught up with this week's episodes. My goodness. I really got that relationship the wrong way round! Very clever.

Ah! good. I haven't missed any.

Yes jings that is this weeks episodes
