BBC Confirms Silent Witness Replacement Amid Unexpected Schedule Changes

Fans of the acclaimed series Silent Witness are in for a surprise as the BBC confirmed a schedule change for the drama. The show will not air tonight due to unexpected alterations in its timetable. This decision follows a series of adjustments made since the launch of Series 29 earlier this month.

Silent Witness Schedule Changes Explained

Episodes 3 and 4 of this series, titled The Enemy Within, have been replaced with upcoming episodes featuring a different storyline, Creekwood. This adjustment was made in light of a tragic incident that occurred in Birmingham, prompting the BBC to shift the broadcast schedule.

A BBC spokesperson stated, “Due to the attack in Birmingham over the weekend, this week’s episodes of Silent Witness will not transmit as planned.” Fans should note that the show will now be broadcast on Tuesday, February 17, and Wednesday, February 18, at 9 PM. This is a change from its usual Monday and Tuesday slots.

Current Schedule Updates

• Silent Witness replaced by Creekwood episodes
• New air dates: February 17 and 18, at 9 PM
• The Enemy Within guest stars include Chris Reilly and Selin Hizli
• The 9 PM slot on February 16 now features Death in Paradise

Furthermore, scheduling issues have not been limited to Silent Witness. The BBC is currently providing extensive coverage of the Winter Olympics, totaling over 450 hours of live broadcasts. This has led to the temporary removal of other shows like Father Brown from the schedule.

Normal scheduling is expected to resume on February 22, after the conclusion of the Winter Olympics. Meanwhile, fans eager to catch up on Silent Witness can do so on BBC iPlayer, where episodes from previous seasons are available for streaming.

As the drama continues to captivate audiences, viewers are encouraged to stay tuned for updates and enjoy the gripping narratives that unfold in Silent Witness and its accompanying series.
