If I watch Call the Midwife I would miss the start so I’ll need to catch up.
We have recorded midwife for the exact same reason

I still refer to recording stuff as "taping" it. Which is now sadly impossible as I have Sky and they want you to stream everything.
And pay extra for the privilege of avoiding adverts.I refuse to give them any more money so just have to put up with the ads.
In this age of streaming, I rarely record anything.

Always meant to watch that but it goes back 20 years or something. Is there a good season to start at as a beginner, or would I need to watch from S1E1?
Nah, it's from the new days, so that Snoopy can't tell what you watch when, profile you and target yet more intrusive advertising at you.what is this recording of which you speak papa? Is it another thing from the olden days before streaming via iplayer?

A couple of years go, Jo and I started on S1E1 and worked our way through every episode of Silent Witness over the course of a couple of months. It's interesting how it's morphed from very much a pathology-based show ("well-nourished male, petechial haemorrhaging") in the early Amanda Burton episodes into a more general crime-scene-investigation programme. It's mostly nonsense, and there's nearly always a massive overstepping of responsibility or conflict of interests, but it's entertaining nonsense. We found ourselves shouting at the telly, telling them to check for abrasion marks on the corpses' heels, or hyoid fractures!
I can't recommend a particular place to start (except at the very beginning!), but there are some excellent episodes that stick in the memory:
S5E1/2, S8E7/8, S13E7/8, S14E7/8, S23E19/10.
