Silent Witness themselves, whilst having expectations for the new series, were left asking one major question as season 25 prepared to launch on Monday night - how did things end last time round?
It's hard to believe, but it's now been a quarter of a century since Silent Witness first made its debut on BBC One. The BBC show first saw Amanda Burton make the switch from ITV’s Peak Practice to star as Dr Sam Ryan before leaving during the eighth series.
Since then the show has also featured the likes of William Gaminara, Tom Ward and Emilia Fox in lead roles, with Emilia still very much in the fold these days as Nikki Alexander, as Amanda also makes a return as Professor Sam Ryan for the 25th anniversary.
