Why is silent witness repeated

Brother's Keeper: Part 1 opens with a dramatic start, as boxer Kieran Johnson's body crashes down onto a stolen car which is being driven by an unknown couple. However it wasn't the fall that killed him, as Dr. Nikki Alexander and Jack Hodgson conclude that he has injuries that would have occurred before the fall, including a missing fingernail.

During this episode, mysterious newcomer Dr. Simone Tyler is brought on to assist with the case. After speaking with boxing pioneer Michelle Lafferty, Jack discovers that Kieran had a rather troublesome past, and suspicions only grow further when Kieran's brother Noah seems unbothered by his brother's death.

But Kieran's wife and brother aren't the only ones who look suspicious. This places both Lee and Ben Coogan as suspects in Kieran's death. During the end of the episode, we get a glimpse of the shady boxing underground that Ben and Lee are involved with.

Lee owes some of the big shots some money, and he is later found beaten up after one of Ben's legitimate boxing matches outside of the underground world. Time is soon up for Ben too, as he is crushed against a wall by a car after fleeing in a panicked state. Signs definitely point to the underground ring as being responsible for Kieran's death — but why? There was also some development for Jack Hodgson throughout the series, as his brother Ryan has been released from prison on probation.

Despite trying to steer him down the right path, Ryan has no interest in following the rules and has been sneaking out, refusing to follow probation terms, and even has a gun stashed in Jack's house where he's been staying. Later on, Ryan beats up his father Connor and runs away with his cash and cards.

In the second part of Brother's Keeper , the team continued their search for the people responsible for Kieran's death. It was already clear that the underground boxing ring was responsible, but more evidence was definitely needed. Simone Tyler was able to find some evidence which led Jack and investigating officer DI Lisa Brodie to a tattoo parlour, leading them to a man named Samuel Covitch where they revealed he was placed at the scene where Lee and Ben Coogan were attacked, and was involved with the underground boxing ring.

What's more, he'd been the one to dispose of Kieran's body. Meanwhile, Michelle Lafferty was behaving very suspiciously and when confronted about Ben and Kieran, she revealed that "Ben was fast but Kieran was stronger". She admitted to telling Kieran to throw the fight, but he refused.

Eventually, Michelle confessed to killing Kieran after he had threatened to reveal the truth about her drugging him and setting Ben up by putting plaster in his wraps. Apparently riddled with guilt, she set fire to herself in the boxing ring after apologising for what she'd done. Jack had his own personal drama to deal with too, after tracking down his brother Ryan who had attacked their father and ran off with his money.

There's also a chance that Cara could be Jack's daughter and not Ryan's, creating even more tension between the duo. Things seem to be escalating between Nikki and Jack too, as Simone has noticed the chemistry between them. So could Silent Witness fans finally be seeing romance between the two colleagues?

In the first of the two-part finale Matters of Life and Death , plenty of drama went down on both a professional and personal level! The episode opened with the death of care home resident that was initially put down to natural causes, until some of Nikki's students discovered something wasn't right with the body.

But getting to the bottom of what happened was only the start of their problems, as a storm raged on outside, causing a serious flood risk for the care home staff and residents, as well as Jack and newcomer Simone who are on site. Meanwhile, Jack's father is in trouble after suffering a nasty fall at home, while his house is slowly filling up with water from the bath.

Will he be okay? Meanwhile, apparent sparks between Jack and Nikki still haven't gone anywhere and fans are disappointed that Jack went off on a blind date and woke up with her the next morning. They were even more disappointed to find out that Nikki had slept with one of her students!

Is this the end for the Jack and Nikki romance saga? In the final part of the series finale, the drama continued as the storm raged on causing chaos and flooding, while the elderly residents, along with Jack and Simone, were stuck inside the care home. As Nikki tries to contact Jack, she phones DS Galloway who asks her if she knew of someone called Janice Pitram, who was a care home worker in Scotland and was convicted of aiding and abetting her boyfriend in killing his elderly parents.

Once out of prison, she had changed her name to Amrita Naidu, who now works at the current care home, where Robbo was murdered. But was he to blame? While all this was going on, a parole board was preparing to discuss whether Weston should be granted early release from his sentence following apparently false evidence that he should have been originally tried with diminished responsibility because of a head trauma he sustained as a child.
