AN episode of the BBC series Silent Witness contained just the right amount of violence, according to viewers.
Fans of the series, which is essentially a horror film for people too refined to rent Zombie Flesheaters, found a scene of sadistic violence to be titillating while also having a veneer of seriousness.
43-year-old Mary Fisher said: “Silent Witness has the gruesomeness I demand, but also the decent actors and convoluted plots that make it a ‘proper drama’.
“It’s Saw for middle earners and I’m fine with that.”
