Silent Witness
Wednesdays at 9pm
Emilia Fox, William Gaminara and Tom Ward return to Alibi this month for more channel premiere episodes of Silent Witness, the series that continues to push the boundaries of British procedural drama.
This month's episodes see the team of criminal pathologists investigate the body of a member of the Jewish Hasidic community. Jewish faith dictates that a 'dry' post mortem must be performed, which leads to links within the Polish labouring community. But soon Harry begins to wonder whether the victim's wife might be hiding something.
Elsewhere, in The Lost Child, a boy's body is discovered near his school, and the post mortem reveals an unknown toxic chemical in his body. In Finding Rachel, the team flies to Zambia to investigate the death of a female doctor who had disappeared two weeks earlier.
