During the post-mortem examination, it also emerged that Alice was pregnant at the same – something her daughter didn't know anything about, and it's hinted that Dan could potentially be the father. Was that due to concern about potential data breaches, or something else? The CCTV was fed into Vigil, in turn allowing the authorities to visually identify the woman. By winning the contract, they gained a "data goldmine" that would transform the future of healthcare. When his face popped up on her computer screen, she immediately recognised him, and she also has his number saved in her phone. But it's Amanda Burton's Sam Ryan who is undoubtedly the central focus of the anniversary special.

"I love it, and I will binge-watch ridiculously! I live near the sea, and that is a constant source of joy. You could be in the middle of nowhere in a cafe, and somebody comes up to you. But it’s the kind of thing that you dream about." "It was so special to work with Emilia on the coming together of those two massive beasts of forensic pathology! Working with crew and actors is my happy place in life."

Since its first episode aired in 1996, BBC's Silent Witness has seen a number of stars making an appearance in the show - including Jodie Comer, ...

Love is in the air? Never been so excited for a series to come back.' My granny watched it – she was still alive then – and she rang up and said, 'Why can't you do a nice little sitcom?'' A third wrote: 'Today!! It's today!! The police immediately focus on the husband - although other suspects quickly arise. In 1997, Idris Elba, who went on to find fame in the BBC hit show Luther, starred in an episode of Silent Witness as Charlie, a string-vest wearing boxer (left, and right, in 2022) The Scottish actor appeared in the episode in 2014, when Nikki and Jack travel to Scotland to assist him after the discovery of a lap dancer's body in the forest. After appearing in Skins as Posh Kenneth, Daniel appeared as a guest star in two episodes of Silent Witness in 2008 (left).

Crime drama series Silent Witness has been one of the BBC's most popular shows over the years, and in 2012, Jodie appeared in a two-part episode, playing the role of Eve Gilston (left, and right earlier this year) She has since gone on to become a household name and has appeared in a number of Star Wars films, as well as Murder on the Orient Express and Ophelia. His role in Silent Witness was among his first in TV, with the then-nine-year-old actor playing the role of Tom Evans in the premiere of season three in 1998.

Silent Witness series 25 starts on BBC One on Monday night with Amelia Fox once again leading the cast of the crime drama.

Outside of the care home, viewers were once again left fuming with Jack after he ended up waking up next to a woman he went on a blind date with, as fans willed him and Nikki to get together. His death was initially put down to natural causes, but it soon became clear that something more sinister was afoot as the whole care home was left in jeopardy due to a storm raged outside, posing a huge risk to staff and patients. Season 24 kicked off with Nikki and Jack visiting a high-security prison to get to the bottom of an inmate's suspicious death.

Viewers were quick to spot some of the city's landmarks such as the Liver Building, the waterfront and Paddy's Wigwam.

Amanda Burton was back as Sam Ryan, 17 years after leaving the Lyell, to celebrate the anniversary. Paddy's Wigwam and the Museum of Liverpool were also featured. The city is favoured by filmmakers, often doubling up as locations such as New York or London, but Silent Witness has showcased Liverpool's landmarks in all their glory.

Burton's Sam Ryan locked horns with her successor and current queen of CSI, Emilia Fox's Nikki Alexander.

Silent Witness did so by wandering into Line of Duty territory, with murky conspiracies and ruthlessly efficient assassins. Soaps traditionally mark anniversaries with a disaster. Sam was now the co-founder with her husband, Jomo, of a company contracted by the government to implement a Europe-wide health passport plan (post-Brexit Brussels agreed to that?). She reached out to Nikki after Jomo was wounded and the health secretary killed by a gunman at the scheme’s launch.

Sam Ryan has returned for the show's 25th anniversary – and is soon butting heads with Nikki Alexander in this tense series opener.

Now, Ryan is back, and more nuanced than ever, up to her eyeballs in morally murky dealings with Big Tech that could impinge on our civil liberties and playing No 10 off against the police. Ryan is now a private medicine bigwig, involved in a government scheme to roll out controversial “medical passports”, which gets the health secretary and her husband shot by a sniper. While it was all smiles and winks to the camera at first – “Good to finally meet you, Nikki. You’ve done excellent work at the Lyell.” “Oh, we just built on your foundations…” – the pair were soon butting heads over a corpse as Ryan indulged in a spot of backseat pathology.

It's sobering to reflect that when Silent Witness (BBC1) launched on the BBC, Tony Blair had yet to come to power. God, I feel old. To mark its 25th anniv.

Silent Witness is returning to screens for series 25 and is marking the anniversary with a very familiar face. Amanda Burton will reprise her role as Sam Ryan 17 years after leaving the longest-running crime drama currently on television.
