For Judge John Deed, following the letter of the law can be tricky when the courtroom is clouded with conspiracy, heartbreak and scandal. A passion for doing right often leaves Deed at odds with his colleagues, family and lovers - is all fair in the pursuit of justice? Controversial cases, pressure from high places, family problems and a broken heart; the eponymous judge has them all in the fourth series. A young black man is stabbed to death in a shared cell a week before he is due for release, and the Judge's questioning reveals that this prison wasn't up to capacity.
