Silent Witness - Series 1

Forensic pathologist Dr Sam Ryan, has an all-embracing, passionate notion of justice. Driven, almost obsessional,
her crusade and tenacity sometimes leads her to conduct her own enquires outside the laboratory, uncovering
new evidence that dramatically alters the course of police investigations. This can lead to trouble - both in her
personal and professional lives - but to Sam, each dead body deserves nothing but the truth.

Buried Lies: Sam's examination of the body of a six-year-old girl, who is thought to have fallen from a rope-swing over a river and drowned, suggests a different cause of death.

Long Days, Short Nights: Police are convinced they have arrested the right man for a gruesome ritual killing. Sam isn't so sure, but can she provide the proof?

Darkness Visible: A death in police custody looks like an open and shut case with the dead man's cell-mate in the frame. But the station is eager to avoid any suggestion of a cover-up...

Sins Of The Fathers: When a charred body is found in a burnt out Vietnamese restaurant, Sam is called to establish whether it is murder or a tragedy. It is a case that affects her more deeply than she would ever have guessed.
