Judge John Deed: Political Expediency

Good-looking, fit and fifty-something, Judge John Deed is not your average High Court Judge. His individual approach all too often flies in the face of convention, as he determinedly avoids the traditionalism the system tries to force upon him. Deed courts controversy as he sentences a famous footballer for assault while drunk; and when the chauffeur of an Arab sheikh is charged with murdering a prostitute, he finds himself up against the establishment, as the case takes a sinister turn.
