‘It’s a shambles!’ rage Silent Witness viewers as they brutally brand BBC show ‘worst drama ever committed to film’
SILENT Witness viewers were baffled after last night’s episode and quickly took to social media to air their grievances,
Fans were delighted to finally watch the episode after it was postponed due to FA Cup scheduling changes.
The team finally got a breakthrough in the Cherry case after receiving information from an unlikely source.
But what really had fans of the BBC forensics drama in a frenzy was the last ‘confusing’ scene, which saw Professor Gabriel Folukoya played by Aki Omoshaybieng, participating in a boxing match after training with Jack Hodgson, played by David Caves.
Mozart played in the background as his fight was shown in a dramatic slow-motion scene.
However, his best efforts and Jack’s support weren’t good enough to help beat his formidable opponent.
After the scene aired, fans took to social media and penned down their confusion at the ‘random’ plot while also blasting the episode altogether.
Taking to X(Twitter), a fan of Silent Witness posted: “It really is the worst drama ever committed to film. A bafflingly amateurish shambles week in, week out. #SilentWitness.”
Replying to the tweet, another person said: “It is! Every single episode leaves me gobsmacked.
“No thread of story is off-record, even if it’s entirely irrelevant. Don’t get me started on the security in their building or their endless skill sets allowing them to climb all over crime scenes.”
A third person added: “It’s such a shame. It used to be brilliant! Now I get more frustration out of it than anything.”
A fourth chimed: “It was really bad tonight. Guessed it was those 2 at the beginning.”
Another person followed it with: “Never has such glorious spine-chilling Mozart been paired with such unmitigated dogs**t. #SilentWitness.”
Another replied: “It brought tears of rage to my eyes #Lacrimosa not suitable for a punch up #Silentwitness.”
“My thoughts exactly #silentwitness,” another echoed.
However, show fans felt differently and defended the episode with one viewer writing: “Silent Witness never fails to entertain #SilentWitness.”
A second person typed: “Loved that ep of #SilentWitness! Gripped from start to finish! Plenty of Jakki loveliness and poor Cara!
“Just one thing though, in criminology, you definitely don’t learn how to do what the professor’s minions just did, either that or I missed a module! Can’t wait for more!”
Last week, show fans said they had “died and gone to heaven” after a steamy romp that was “11 years in the making”.
While tensions were high during the episode, there was a big moment of release in the final moments between Dr Nikki Alexander played by Emilia Fox and boyfriend Jack.
In the raunchy scene, Dr Nikki straddled Jack as they leaned in and started kissing, and it left many viewers at home hot under the collar.
Silent Witness is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
