Silent Witness

just watched the first two episodes of the new series, wonder if it is set pre covid because there wasn't a mask in sight . . .

I'm sure there have been masks in Silent Witness since the first episode.

precisely doug but they weren't even wearing them in the hospital in the latest series :-)

No, it wasn't filmed pre-pandemic. It was scheduled to be broadcast in January but Covid caused filming delays in 2021

I enjoy SW, but it does lose touch with reality I think. I don't believe they perform autopsies without wearing masks and protection for example ( my duaghter is a forensic dr. and she has done 100s of them and always wears protective wear, apparently). And do forensics really investigate crimes as they seem to in SW ? Maybe, that I don't know.

I said on another thread that i've stopped watching SW because in almost every episode, the forensic team seem to accompany the police on their door to door enquiries and actually sometimes question suspects. As for taking DNA samples in the suspect's homes.....................

the autopsy scenes in detective progams really annoy me (im mainly talking about you Vera!)
i blooming hope they are not so disrespectful IRL

Does it really matter about the covid masks?

[aelmpvw]

doesn't spoil it for me dave, for someone who spends many hours in hospitals i just find it odd seeing scenes without masks . . .

Was there any particular vial that was stolen at the end?
