Silent Witness - Season 11 (2007)

Harry and Nicki witness a helicopter crash on to a detainment centre for illegal immigrants, leading to a terse and sombre episode - the good that they (try and) do makes matters worse.

Apocalypse was written by Stephen Davis and directed by Maurice Phillips.

Then Suffer the Children looks at child sacrifices for tribal African folk cures. This runs in parallel to the suspected suicide of a priest in a boys' school (couldn't track it down. Yes I could. It's Royal Connaught Park, formerly the Royal Masonic School for Boys, Bushey, which closed in 1970. It's apparently been used in Lucky Jim, The Meaning of Life, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and the Harry Potter films.)

And Leo keeps 'seeing' his dead daughter Cassie.

Michael Byrne is the grizzled headmaster / priest
