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 Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
