Preview tonight’s Silent Witness:
In tonight’s episode, a vicious hammer attack on an estate agent reveals a disturbing case for the Lyell.
When a man is found bludgeoned by a hammer, the Lyell are drawn deep into a conspiracy involving local government.
Claire Steadman says goodbye to her sister, Tina, as she heads to meet journalist Harry Singh. Estate Agent Philip Chalmers is preparing a house for a potential buyer when he’s struck viciously with a claw hammer. Nikki and Jack arrive at the crime scene, surprised to meet Detective Superintendent Jane De Freitas, whom they’ve worked with before, and DC Nick Whelan. The body has multiple lacerations on the skull and face but the murder weapon is missing.
“Speaking about the new series (season 28) Emilia Fox said: “There’s a real running theme of love through the whole series. Of course, that’s great, because it resonates with the Jack and Nikki relationship. I’m very excited by all the stories in this series. They are written by four of our very strongest writers”.
David Caves, who plays Jack Hodgson adds: “Aside from the fact that the stories are very good, what the writers really do so well is come up with different takes on subjects. You would have thought that by now we would have exhausted the canon of crime and murders, but the writers always find new angles. It’s not just simply a clinical show about pathology and solving crimes, it’s a show about relationships. There’s Jack and Nikki’s central relationship but we’ve also got these satellite characters now as well who really have their own atmospheres going on”.
