Silent Witness, Season 17

Forensic experts Nikki and Jack return in this compelling crime drama, uncovering the truth behind suspicious deaths. There is change at the Lyell Centre with the sudden arrival of a new boss, pathologist and politically adroit Thomas Chamberlain. His new approach is met by a frosty reception and Chamberlain quickly recognizes he will have to earn their trust if he is to make a success of his new appointment. As the team tackle the new dynamics, the cases keep coming; Nikki’s pursuit of the truth that frees a convicted killer; a trip to Scotland to investigate a violent death; and the hunt for a baby that ends with Jack’s confrontation of his troubled past.
