Silent Witness (2026)

A downbeat episode about mental health, the homeless and drug addiction, well caught by Vivienne Harvey, Creekwood. And it all goes back to the barbaric practice of Lobotomy procedures, performed in the titular hospital. Some searing information contained here - you can't get a prescription without a fixed address, that one in four kids have been in care - quite staggering.

Good performances from Joe Barber, Lydia Wilson (who we've just seen in About Time), Yasmin Davies, Mark Stobbart, David Webber, Cat Simmons and Chris Gordon.

The last moment - Davies now without partner, off her head, dancing the night away on a lonely rooftop - is poignant indeed.
