Silent Witness - Season 13 (2010)

Voids, concluding part.  Harry loses it with his Mum for having had an affair when married. 'Undercover' cop turns out to be a complete fantasist. Sue Tully directed.

Then Shadows, Part 1 is one of the most terrifying things we've seen so far,as Nikki and Harry are trapped in a classroom when a deranged student starts a killing spree. 'What's Harry doing?' we were shouting, expecting him to be dead at any minute. It's very exciting.

Dudi Appleton and Jim Keeble are the writers and Farren Blackburn directs with a sure hand.

For me, Part 2 was something of a let-down. Although the two-hander between Nikki and killer suspect Toby Wharton is engaging enough, it lies - he is not the cold-blooded killer at all, but someone who's just been traumatised by what his 'friend' has just done. Still, ends on Harry having another near miss...

Wunmi Mosaku's back. With Anna Chancellor, Phyllis Logan.
