Silent Witness has gone mad (2013)

We don't think Rob Jarvis killed his wife and even investigating detective Christine Bottomley isn't sure - but her dad Christopher Fulford puts the pressure on. Turns out a former policeman David Murray has been killing and cutting fingers off all over the place (literally). Nikki saves Jack's life with a clonk over the head. True Love Waits was written by the normally reliable Ed Whitmore, and Tracey Malone, but I wasn't sure what was going on half the time. 

Then in Stephen Gallagher's The Legacy. Nikki gets involved with a politician who you know is going to be a wrongun (Ed Stoppard) whilst a nuclear train crash has been covered up. (Sorry - he was going to build low cost housing on land he knew was contaminated with uranium?  Have I got that wrong?)

It's nicely photographed, anyway - by Jon Conroy - but really over-edited by Catherine Creed.
