Yes,

I watched it every week when it was on here in Oz. I'm a sucker for forensic shows.

When I worked in the Cataloguing section of the public library - a couple of decades ago - I was given a huge load of second hand books to catalogue, all on criminology & murder & forensics & stuff like that. My first reaction was that I had no interest in any of it, and "Why me??!!"

Once I started having a proper look at them I found most of them fascinating, on a number of levels. I was interested in the psychology side - the "why would someone do something like that?" angle - and also the scientific analysis of the evidence.

So now, I satisfy my interest by watching the tv show like CSI, & Silent Witness (British), & that one with John Hannah - the Scottish bloke who played the lead opposite Gwyneth Paltrow in Sliding Doors.

I sometimes wonder whether I could have done forensics as a job.
