Hugely controversial Factional Drama in 4 parts each from a different point of view - Metropolitan Police the criminal the solicitor and the prison system. Groundbreaking in both its style and its damning portrayal of corruption in the British legal system; the British Police had never been portrayed in that way before on TV. The central premise of the drama is that it claimed that the Police and the criminals were not actually that different in terms of the way they operated. Caused a massive storm when broadcast on the BBC; the switchboards were jammed for hours... with irate callers. Questions were asked in the House of Parliament concerning the issues raised by Law and Order. [show more]

Gritty four-part drama series which caused great controversy and outrage when it was originally broadcast in 1978. From the pen of G.F. Newman (creator of 'Judge John Deed'), it tells the story of London criminal Jack Lynn (Peter Dean of later 'Eastenders' fame) from the perspectives of the police force, the solicitor, the prison system and Lynn himself. It was the first cop show to explore the corruption of the British legal system in the 1970s and paved the way for a more realistic approach to the genre.
LAW AND ORDER is a controversial drama from the creator of JUDGE JOHN DEED--that caused such a scandal when it was first transmitted that it wasn't shown for 30 years—focuses on corruption within the police force.
