Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsApproximately 7:40 into the episode while Leo and DS Ashar are discussing the possible ethnicity of the body Leo is working on, the camera briefly shows the body in the frame and catches the actor blinking. About 10 seconds later the body is shown with his eyes closed, but then is shown in a photo with his eyes open just a few seconds after that.
Featured review
It's a bleak start.
Leo investigates the death of a man found at The Thames, Nikki is called in to investigate a young Chinese woman found in the same location, the deaths are identical.
Bleak, this is a decidedly bleak story, made back in 2006, and the problem of human trafficking is still as big now as it was back then. It's a pretty good episode I thought, it's more what Silent Witness is in its later years, than it was at the start.
Made back when they loved to gross out the viewer, so expect an array of body parts and organs.
The first thing you'll probably notice, is the switch up, Nikki is taking much more of a central role, previously she was pretty much equal with Leo and Harry, here though she's become more of the lead, and she's great.
One issue I have this one, Detective Superintendant Vijay Ashar, he's just loathsome, he has zero compassion, zero sensibility, I think he's a little over the top.
A mixed bag, but a good story, 7/10.
