Not up to date

There is a reference in the introduction to series 12, implying (I think) that it it is the latest series. There as definitely been a series 13 and perhaps a 14. I am no expert so it's not appropriate for me to write it up...can someone either update this or move the ref to series 12.

No copyright problem

There was a recent spot of the Overview section also appearing on TV.com, but investigation revealed that actually the article had been borrowed from here to there. See Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2011 January 11 for details. Splash - tk 14:18, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Updating" on the demise of Harry

For people "updating" on the death of the character of Harry Cunningham, it really needs a reliable source. In this interview Tom Ward says "And there's a moment when it looks like Harry's dead!" So. In the absence of reliable sources that say Ward has left the show, probably more sensible to leave it as it is. --Beloved Freak 23:14, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Harry features in official BBC episode guide for next week. [1] Maybe not dead? --Beloved Freak 23:19, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I didn't meant to cause trouble or anything! I looked at the BBC site and saw the 'With Harry dead' statement and made an assumption. Seeing as it lists him in the cast for the finale, I'll revert my changes. Iamthedoctor2009 (talk) 23:23, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I don't really care that much. Just saw someone crying on Twitter because "Wikipedia says Harry's dead so it must be true!" :) --Beloved Freak 23:26, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh right, what have I done?! Haha! Iamthedoctor2009 (talk) 23:36, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jack

In the main character section, Thomas is “described as charming, charismatic and socially shrewd”. No source, please note, but no-one could argue against that. In comparison, there is no description of Jack’s character. IMO that’s because he’s character-less, totally devoid of any charisma whatsoever. (In fact how he ever made it into the programme is beyond me, but that’s by the by; watching his almost leading role in the story set in Mexico was painful.) So I edited in that he has no charisma, but this was reverted. Comments, anyone? Does anyone disagree with my contention that he has no charisma? Boscaswell talk 22:08, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There having been no contrary comments, no disagreements, I’ll make the change. Boscaswell talk 20:53, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Theme Song

Would Silencium and its lyrics (with translation from Latin) warrant its own page?

Broken links in table in section Episode

This page section #Episodes is a table of episodes. Very nice. Borrowed from page "List_of_Silent_Witness_episodes". Links within the table, within page "List_of_Silent_Witness_episodes" work. But those same links within the table in this page Fail. (While the link anchor is correct, it points to the wrong page. I do not currently understand how to fix that.

Viewing figures

Viewing figures are wrong as barb haven't released latest figures. Unreliable. Percy2345 (talk) 22:08, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Music

I HATE the beginning and ending theme music in Silent Witness! 74.194.121.107 (talk) 02:22, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why the name.

AI says the name Silent Witness is because BBC won't allow naked bodies during autopsy. Is this true? Zachygirl (talk) 02:20, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
