Long-running BBC crime drama Silent Witness returns for its 27th season<\/a>, with five brand new cases across 10 shiny new episodes.<\/p>\n

In the opening two episodes, a body is found in a church, \u201csparking fears that a serial killer has resurfaced after 20 years\u201d. But that\u2019s just the beginning.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the season, \u201cdeath terrorises a university campus and no one is safe, a mummified corpse is uncovered \u2013 seemingly forgotten by everyone, multiple bodies are found entombed beneath a train station in a makeshift mass grave, and the Lyell is infiltrated by a malevolent force\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

But while their work life is as testing as ever, Nikki and Jack\u2019s relationship is the most solid it\u2019s ever been.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t you think that the closer that they are and the stronger that they are together, the more vulnerable they become?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you love someone that\u2019s when it can really, really hurt. If you don\u2019t care about someone or you\u2019re not bothered by it then it doesn\u2019t hurt so much, but now they\u2019re closer than ever so out of that great love comes great vulnerability too.\u201d<\/p>
