LAW & ORDER: UK, Series 1

Trailer

The English adaptation of the beloved courtroom drama is based on the enormously successful U.S. format created by two-time Emmy award-winning producer Dick Wolf. A host of top British acting talent comes together to form the ensemble, while the original series' iconic two-part structure - first half Law, second half Order, is handled with a uniquely English spin. Bradley Walsh (Torn, Coronation Street) is DS Ronnie Brooks, a real East End, copper's copper, friend and partner to the charming DS Matt Devlin (Jamie Bamber, Battlestar Galactica), whose approach to policing is part seduction, part force. Both report to DI Natalie Chandler (Harriet Walter, Belgravia) a working mum who would back them to the end. The CPS team consists of Ben Daniels (The Passion, The State Within) as dedicated Senior Crown Prosecutor James Steel, a man on a mission for justice; Freema Agyeman (Dr. Who, Torchwood) as hard working, strong-willed young prosecutor Alesha Phillips; and Bill Paterson (Little Dorrit, Criminal Justice) as their respected boss CPS director George Castle, a man trying to balance his ideals with the bigger picture.
