Silent Witness (2018)

A woman loses it behind the wheel, crashes and dies. Her son is in a care home, where awful things are going on. In parallel a dead dementia patient is found to have been overdosed, and there's (eventually) a link to the care home. One Day was written by Tim Prager (he did the social work episode Protection as well, the grooming one And Then I Fell in Love, Safe, gang violence in Brixton, and Identity, immigrant crisis) and it's another disturbing one, buoyed by excellent performances from Toby Sams-Friedman and Rosie Jones, and from Charlie Creed-Miles and Sara Powell. A lyrical moment at the Great Conservatory at Syon House turns sour when police marksmen get involved.


Prager said in interview that one of the reasons he loves writing is because he can share important social issues with a wider audience.
