Forensics: The Real CSI review - This real-life Silent Witness is even more horrific... and more gripping, writes CHRISTOPHER STEVENS


CHRISOPHER STEVENS: Forensics: The Real CSI (BBC2) returned to follow detectives and forensic scientists investigating how a decomposed body came to be found in a box freezer.

The series returned to follow detectives and forensic scientists investigating how a decomposed body came to be found in a box freezer collected by a council removals team from a derelict high-rise flat in Birmingham. A forensic pathologist stood over the corpse, dictating notes into a handheld recorder, just as Dr Nikki Alexander (Emilia Fox) does. There's no need for the action sequences, unconvincing romances and, worst of all, the political storylines about far-right activists and immigrants that frequently mar Silent Witness.
