Judge John Deed : Pilot & Complete BBC Series 1 Martin Shaw 2006 DVD

Despite the red robe and wig, Judge John Deed is no average high court judge. Good-looking, fit and fifty-something, he has a rakish charm that belies his sharp intellect. His passion for justice and his maverick approach set him at odds with the Lord Chancellor’s department. This judge’s individual approach too often flies in the face of convention for his own good as he determinedly avoids the traditionalism the system tries to force upon him.

Judge John Deed has become one of Martin Shaws defining roles. The sharp intellect, rakish charm, keen wit and passionate belief in justice were all qualities G F Newman had in mind for Martin when writing the series.
