Season 19


Every body tells a story: who they were, how they lived, and most importantly, how they died.

Their history is there to be discovered and the body is the key to unlocking the story.

Each season this forensic pathology drama features a new batch of crimes for the team of pathologists to crack.

The show follows the fortunes of the pathologists as they are called on by police to help identify murder victims that have been too badly burned or decomposed to use standard identification methods.

Executive produced by Anne Pivcevic and produced by Madonna Baptiste, Silent Witness continues to tackle topical storylines.

Emilia Fox, David Caves, Richard Lintern and Liz Carr return as the dynamic Lyell team unit.

This season, with five new thrilling, diverse and contemporary stories, Nikki, Thomas, Jack and Clarissa unite once more as the Lyell team face some deadly new enemies.

After the Fall

In Episode 1, Nikki arrives at a murder scene to find it's a carbon copy of a case in her past and she soon fears the killings are personal to her.

But who will believe her and who can she trust?

Flight

A mysterious young girl returns to the UK.

She is initially suspected of drug smuggling, but when a well-known anti-fundamentalist is murdered, something much more sinister is feared.

Life Licence

When an ex-convict is found brutally murdered in his home, the Lyell team investigate a fragile community of rehabilitated offenders. 

Plain Sight

A teenager is mistakenly shot dead by the firearms unit and as Jack grows closer to the family of the murdered teenager, his objectivity is called into question.

Nikki warns him to follow the evidence, but he unknowingly enters London's small but devastating gun trade.

River's Edge

The Lyell team investigate the clinical shooting of a family picnicking by the River Malt.

Jack and Nikki are left in mortal danger when they uncover a high-powered world of sex and depravity.
