Silent Witness - Season 9 (2005)

In a shocking season opening, Leo's wife and daughter are killed as a result of a car crash. He travels to Sheffield and becomes a one-man vigilante after revenge - even Harry and Nikki can't make him see sense. In parallel the London murders of two undercover cops is linked. Ghosts was written by Tony McHale and directed by Richard Signy.

With Nicholas Gleaves, Noma Dumezweni, Samantha Kelly, Jack Deam.

Leo is of course still feeling the fall-out when a gang war erupts with a shooting outside a nightclub in Choices, written by Doug Milburn and directed by Andy Hay. Harry immediately befriends a kid, Perry Allen, who becomes central to the story and provides the film's devastating last look.


Nikki Amuka-Bird (The Personal History of David Copperfield, Luther), 'Q', Vinta Morgan, Freema Agyeman (Doctor Who, New Amsterdam), and assorted gang types. John McEnery investigates. Nikki gets mixed up with a strung out junkie Alice O'Connell, Samantha Edmonds is the boy's mum and Garry Robson the paraplegic.
