Viewers are thrilled to have the BBC’s popular crime series, Silent Witness, back on air, with many calling it the best crime show of all time. The show, now in its 29th season, stars Emilia Fox as Dr. Nikki Alexander, a forensic pathologist.

The series stars David Caves as Jack Hodgson, a forensic scientist, and centers on a team of forensic pathologists who solve crimes while dealing with difficulties in their personal and professional lives.

The first two episodes of season 29, called ‘The Disappearance of Alice Hill’, were released last night. The story follows Nikki and Jack as they pursue a hitman throughout Birmingham.

Okay, so I’m already hooked! The first two episodes follow Nikki and Jack as they chase a guy they think is a hitman around Birmingham. Turns out, he admits to a really famous murder – the one everyone remembers – and it’s crazy because someone else is already in prison for it! It’s going to be a wild ride figuring out what really happened.

Fans of the popular BBC show took to Instagram to express their excitement about the new episodes, with many particularly enjoying the most recent one.

One enthusiastic fan declared it the greatest crime show of all time, adding they’re excited to watch the first episode tonight on BBC One.

I’m so thrilled this is back! I’m already completely hooked on the new series – the first two episodes were absolutely fantastic.

A viewer praised the recent episodes as a fantastic start to the new season, saying it was well worth the wait and expressing their love for the show.

One fan called it the best TV series ever, noting it’s been on for at least 27 seasons – a testament to its enduring popularity and the cast. Their only wish is that it aired more often than it does.

A thrilled fan shared their anticipation for the upcoming season, praising the show’s enduring popularity as a reflection of the hard work and talent of everyone involved.

Someone else commented, “What a fantastic beginning to season 29! The story is really gripping and exciting! I’m already looking forward to next Monday, but it’s hard to wait!”

I’m so excited to see the show is doing really well! It’s currently number 3 on BBC iPlayer’s most popular list today, only beaten by huge shows like EastEnders and The Apprentice. That’s amazing!
