BBC's Silent Witness is back on our screens tonight for its third nail-biting episode.
The gritty crime drama is set in the world of forensic pathology with a team of the nation's best investigation and solving crimes across the country.
To mark its 25 series, the show's original lead Amanda Burton has returned as Professor Sam Ryan after the health secretary is assassinated during the launch of Sam's new company.
The assassination prompts Sam to turn to the Lyell team for help, but Nikki is unsure that her predecessor can be trusted.
This highly-anticipated series of Silent Witness has been billed as one big six-part story.
The third episode introduces us to a whole new mystery with a suspicious if fleeting moment that hints at a slow-burning but ongoing conspiracy.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
