Silent Witness (TV Series) Double Dare: Part 2 (2007) User Reviews

Unexpected twists, well imagined conclusion.

[Sleepin_Dragon · 8/10 · 8 November 2020]

It works very well as a mystery, it's nicely crafted, intriguing, and delivers a real twist.

My only gripe, they have never once in twenty years made Nikki wrong, surely go goodness even she would have made a mistake, she's a bit overly smart.

The twist came as a real surprise, it wasn't a scenario I had imagined, it was well delivered.

Leigh Lawson is very good as Nikki's father, sadly this was the last time we'd get to see him, although his story would continue.

Very good, 8/10.

They Got Me Again

The writing for a mystery plot keeps getting better as this series roles along. Nikki is vilified for her judgement in the past. But there are numerous factors at work here that are beyond her control. The big kicker is shown at the end. However, at the center is a psychotic man who has that Ted Bundy quality. He sounds like a kind, loving man but is rotten to the core. When some bodies turn up, new evidence is found. Well crafted episode.

Hmmm...

I'd worked out that the dead person was in fact the police office fairly early on. And I'm very conflicted with the Harry and Nikki are they aren't they thing. But what is most irritating is that, having watched much later seasons none of Nikki's past matches up to what I have just watched. In the latest couple of seasons Nikki's father is made out to be abusive and she hit him over the head with a shovel as a child... Having said that, the stories are still very good, and I'm very pleased with myself for working, albeit a small part of this episode's mystery... It's just the continuity is a bit pants
