SILENT Witness is back for season 24, with Emilia Fox at the helm.
Some viewers have been left wondering where the hit BBC One crime thriller is filmed.
The studio where most of the action for Silent Witness is shot is in West Acton.
The sound stage is used for the interior shots of the show.
The show was originally filmed in Cambridge when it first aired in 1996 but then moved to London in 1999.
When Jack and Nikki enter a high-security prison to investigate the suspicious death of an inmate, the case brings up disturbing memories for Nikki.
The victim’s cellmate is Scott Weston, the student responsible for a mass shooting she witnessed ten years earlier.
Nikki becomes increasingly convinced that Scott is their prime suspect, but Jack worries she is not following the evidence.
Two former prisons were used in the opening episodes – HMP Gloucester, Barrack Square, Gloucester and HMP Holloway, Parkhurst Road, London.
When a swimming instructor is found murdered in her flat, trace evidence from the scene identifies two suspects, including the victim’s ex-boyfriend, a former police officer. It’s the first case for new recruit Adam, and his eagerness to impress causes friction in the team. As the investigation uncovers a tragic story about the need for love and family, Jack is confronted with secrets from his own hidden past.
The National Trust Birling Gap and the Seven Sisters, as well as Charing Cross Sports Club were used for filming.
Nikki, Jack and Adam are brought in to investigate the murder of a surgeon in a hospital.
DNA evidence suggests the impossible when it implicates a patient who was under anaesthetic at the time of the killing.
Filming took place at Hemel Hempstead General Hospital and Mistral Building, Thames Valley Park Drive.
Silent Witness airs on Monday and Tuesday nights at 9pm on BBC One.
Each episode will air in two parts, with ten episodes in total.
If you miss it, you can catch it again on the BBC iPlayer.
