RICHARD SENIOR - DIRECTOR
Rich directed an action-packed story for the nineteenth series of BBC One's popular pathology drama Silent Witness. Scripted by returning writer Graham Mitchell, the topical two-part thriller about young extremists returning to the UK from foreign wars was filmed in London in 2015.
“a satisfyingly tense story… the denouement made me gasp" - Radio Times
“Silent Witness shows itself unafraid to tackle the difficult questions of modern society and raises its own questions over the long-term impact of past events whilst still weaving these strands into a highly compelling tale. Harrowing” ★★★★★ - CultBox
“the show’s as well-crafted as ever... it may have reached its 19th series, but Silent Witness isn’t going stale. In fact, it couldn’t be more current as this episode, which plumbs the murky depths of radicalised Muslims, demonstrates" - The Sun
