While you portly Yanks probably assumed Law & Order: Special Victims Unit was the longest running cop show on TV, you'd be mistaken. In fact, the BBC series Silent Witness debuted a full three years before SVU, back in 1996, and is still a hit in the UK today. Featuring a foolish amount of future British movie stars in early roles, the show follows a team of forensic pathology experts as they sniff out the truths behind the deaths of various stiffs. Amanda Burton is the rocking doc who leads the team, Samantha Ryan. Samantha's from Northern Ireland, where her cop dad died in a terrorist attack, which makes her super duper motivated to catch killers. After solving all sorts of crimes, she bounces in season eight, and gets replaced by the younger and sluttier South African Nikki Alexander (Emilia Fox). Plenty of sidekicks have stayed the same throughout, but the heart of the show has always bee the mysterious murders. Using a bevy of real life pathologists to help make the show more real, the show is renowned for its gore and willingness to show autopsies that are critical to the plots. The dead body is the silent witness, see? Speaking of bodies, this one had plenty of perv-formances by people like Lili Bordán, Anne Karam, Lisa Gibbons, Clare Higgins, Caroline Hunnisett, Emily Mortimer, Nancy Lodder, and Ruth Gemmell. Yes, most of them are playing comely cadavers, but if getting off to autopsy toplessness weirds you out, don't worry., not all of them were playing dead bodies. Miss Bordan showed her bosoms while in bed with her boyfriend and Tinarie Van Wyk-Loots shows her hoots while getting out of the shower! More like Silent Titness! This show about bones will give you a boner!
