    • Trivia
      While cameras weren't rolling Michael Culkin, who plays Judge Buller, entertained the nearby actors and extras with amusing and extreme stories of his personal adventures. The tales quickly made their rounds through the lower ranks and left some background artists in stitches or in a momentary state of shock.

    Garrow's dead sexy
    This series is clever and thought-provoking. The period dress and the way that court was conducted are historically accurate and fascinating. As well as the serious cases which are considered, there are the humorous incidents which help to balance the series.

    Many British period dramas focus on the upper class folk. This one, by contrast, brings us face to face with the working class, with their appalling living conditions, clothing and poor hygiene.

    Our hero is based upon a real-life figure, William Garrow (1760-1840). He is idealistic, trying to make the law work for those who are unable to help themselves and is well sexy in this version. Thanks to him, many of the rights we now take for granted, came to be accepted.

    There are just four episodes of this fine series. I hope that the BBC will see fit to make more, as there is a lot more to be said.
