Ghosts: Part 1

Intensely depressing, but well made.

I&apos;ve always considered Silent Witness to be a show that on form has the ability to shock, move and entertain. Ghosts certainly manages to shock, but I question whether it can entertain as it is ultimately depressing, and so sad. Up until this point Leo&apos;s character had been a little nondescript, that&apos;s not to knock Gaminara, as he&apos;s an excellent actor, it&apos;s just that Burton completely drowned out his character. This episode effectively hits the reset button for Leo, he&apos;s now plunged into trauma and given a huge back story, with all that&apos;s happened to him, the character now has a history.

The side story seems almost pointless as Leo&apos;s tragedy drowns the rest of the goings on out, Nikki is once again the shining light, but I must commend the performance of William Gaminara, he&apos;s excellent.

It&apos;s decent viewing, but too grim. 6/10

The team is shocked when Leo Dalton's wife and daughter are killed when a fancy sports car careens out of control and smashes into a café. The police are puzzled by the cause of the crash but believe the driver may have been involved in a identity theft ring when they find several several passports and ID cards in the vehicle. Meanwhile, Nikki must perform urgent autopsies on two bodies found floating in the river. When she finds fingerprint evidence linking one of the bodies to the car accident, it becomes apparent that the two cases are linked and the police may have been less than forthcoming about their investigation.
