LAW & ORDER: UK - SERIES 1 [DVD] [2009]

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups. The police who investigate crime, and the Crown Prosecution Service who prosecute the offenders.

This TV series broadcast on ITV is based on the longest running award winning US cop shows Law & Order created by multiple Emmy award-winning producer Dick Wolf. It is co-produced by Kudos Film and Television (Life on Mars), Wolf Films and NBC Universal.

Bradley Walsh (Torn, Coronation Street) plays the role of Detective Sergeant Ronnie Brooks, a genuine East End, copper, his  friend and partner is the charming Detective Sergeant Matt Devlin played by Jamie Bamber (Battlestar Galactica, Hornblower, Ultimate Force) whose approach to policing is part seduction part force. Both report to Detective Inspector Natalie Chandler played by Harriet Walter (Atonement, Sense and Sensibility) who is a working mother who supports them through thick and thin. 

The legal side of the equation is covered by the CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) team which comprises of the highly respected actor Ben Daniels (The Passion, The State Within, Cutting It) who plays the dedicated Senior Crown Prosecutor James Steel, a man dedicated to the pursuit of justice; Freema Agyeman best known for her work in Dr Who and Torchwood, who plays the hard workin some would say workahollic, strong-willed young prosecutor Alesha Phillips; and the final member of the team is Bill Paterson (Little Dorrit, Criminal Justice, Sea of Souls) who is their boss and respected CPS director George Castle, a man who always has to tread the line between his ideals and concience and the bigger picture.
