SILENT Witness fans were left with goosebumps minutes into watching as the chilling new series made a '10/10' return.
The crime drama which has had viewers gripped for more than 25 years, and currently stars Emilia Fox and David Caves - came back with it's 27th season, Monday night.
Fans watched Dr Nikki and Jack Hodgson try to solve another brutal murder case.
The episode began with a man called Calvin Dunn (Leo Staar) was interviewed by police over a crime they believed he committed in 2004.
As he was questioned about a death, the man remained eerily composed, coolly answering each inquiry with a chilling gaze.
The episode then jumps to the present day, where another murder occurs, closely resembling the events from 20 years ago.
Viewers quickly flocked to X/Twitter to share their reactions to the gripping opening scenes, with many getting 'goosebumps' within minutes.
One wrote: "I have goosebumps. From this show. Hasn't happened in at least a decade."
A second added: "Best acting we’ve seen in years of Silent Witness. Chilling."
A third added: "Wow I literally have goosebumps from watching this episode!"
A fourth exclaimed: "That was a 10/10 introduction oh my goodness.”
A fifth wrote: "Good stuff about Silent Witness being back - and we are off to a weird start.”
We revealed back in July that a number of changes have been made to the set for the new series.
Executive Producer Jayne Chard revealed they had gone with a "different vision" for the show's aesthetic.
She felt The Lyle had looked "inconsistent" and so the colour of the walls and corridors have been changed to rectify that.
Silent Witness continues Tuesday on BBC One from 9pm
