Silent Witness returned for its 25th series tonight featuring scenes shot in Liverpool.
Viewers were quick to spot some of the city's landmarks such as the Liver Building and the waterfront just minutes into the programme starting. Paddy's Wigwam and the Museum of Liverpool were also featured.
The city is favoured by filmmakers, often doubling up as locations such as New York or London, but Silent Witness has showcased Liverpool's landmarks in all their glory. The Batman, Peaky Blinders 6, The Ipcress File and The Responder, alongside the recent BAFTA-winning Liverpool dramas Time and Help have all also recently been shot in Liverpool.

Fans were impressed with the scenes of the city and took to Twitter to praise it. Paul said: "#SilentWitness is making me nostalgic for Liverpool! All those great places. I came to know every inch of the waterfront in my ten years working there! Literally hundreds of morning runs where the victim got shot!"
Joanna said: "How Great does our city #Liverpool look in the @BBCOne #SilentWitness Amazing x" Lisa said: "Lovely Liverpool - although the storyline is secondary now - will just be spotting locations #SilentWitness."
Lisa said: "Liverpool is looking mighty fine #SilentWitness." Meanwhile, Emily said: "It’s showing off the beautiful Liverpool waterfront in this episode so got to love them for that. #SilentWitness."
The forensics thriller returned tonight with the first of six new episodes. Amanda Burton was back as Sam Ryan, 17 years after leaving the Lyell, to celebrate the anniversary.
Her husband was hit in a shooting that killed the health secretary. Sam joined Nikki Alexander (Emilia Fox) in the lab to get to the bottom of what happened.
