Telemystery, your source for one of the most comprehensive listings of crime drama, amateur sleuth, private investigator, mystery and suspense television series, mini-series and made-for-television movies, now available on or coming soon to DVD, Blu-ray disc, or Video-on-Demand, is profiling two seasons of a long-running series from our site being released this week.

Silent Witness
Series One
In the first season of this long-running hit BBC crime thriller, first broadcast in 1996, forensic pathologist Dr. Samantha Ryan (Amanda Burton) helps solve murder cases with harrowing evidence that speaks louder than words. Her all-embracing, passionate notion of justice quite often does not accord with the police's objective of getting a conviction. While Cambridge police detectives interview witnesses who may or may not tell the truth, "Sam" extracts revealing truths from calcified bones, decomposed and charred bodies, tell-tale bruises and overlooked fingerprints. This can lead to trouble, both in her personal and professional lives, but to Sam, each dead body deserves nothing but the truth.
Brace yourself for twists and turns in four gripping episodes: the suspicious drowning of a six-year-old girl, the apparently ritual killing of a young man, a death in police custody, and the fiery murder of a refugee's business partner.
The most recent season of the series, its 17th, aired earlier this year and its DVD is also released this week (see next entry).

Silent Witness
Series Seventeen
Prepare for gruesome crime scenes and intricate plot twists in the most recent season of this popular and long-running BBC crime thriller. Emilia Fox returns as forensic pathologist Dr. Nikki Alexander in five more chilling episodes.
What’s the missing link between a poisoned autistic boy and a soccer celebrity caught on a sex tape? If a framed ex-soldier didn’t kill two gay boys, who did? How to explain the buried remains of a lap dancer in rural Scotland and the body of a recently pregnant Northern Irish teenager, found in a suitcase? Things get personal for Jack when his brother becomes a suspect.
Despite media pressure, police friction, death threats and romantic distractions, Nikki and the rest of the Lyell Centre team continue on an unwavering and hugely satisfying quest for the truth.
