Would you say Dan resented his wife? He wanted her to be proud of him.
Mrpalli7724 October 2017
After taking an old painting to his fancy apartment, an old man (John McArdle) heard some shootings coming from the garage. He went there as fast as he could and he saw his wife lying on the ground while the perp was spinning the wheels, in what seemed to be a carjacking. The luxury car was found right away, because the fence sold it to a banker just trapped in recession who needed a car after his own was traded down for paying debts. Obiouvsly, he had nothing to do with the attempted murder, as well as the fence. The real motive behind the shooting is related to the victim, an old woman known as a prominent court judge, whose husband has just lost his job. After some analysis made at the hospital, she has to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair, because the injuries have compromised her spinal cord. Even if her life will be in despair, she wants to protect her family by any means.

The judge is the classic career woman, who doesn't care too much about her family when all things go right. Anyway, after an accident that turns you into an useless kind of person, you change your mind about the things that really matters in life: the love of your relatives. But sometimes it's too late.

Guest starring Diana Quick

Warning: Spoilers
I like Law & Order UK and it's a shame it hasn't been rebooted. Anyway, here in this episode, Denial, is a guest appearance by Diana Quick as a judge. It's a bit of a six degrees of separation thing, because her husband is Bill Nighy, who co-starred with Harriet Walter (one of the leading stars of Law & Order UK) in the steamy British mini-series The Men's Room, where Bill and Harriet's love scenes didn't leave that much to the imagination. Anyway, Diana and Harriet did not share any scenes in this episode.

This episode is adapted from the American episode of Law and Order, but I would have liked more original storylines that are more British based, e.g. The IRA, hooligan violence at the English Premier League.
