Legal drama, ripped from the pages of history! "Courtroom drama gold"- The Sunday Times (U.K.); "Excellent"- The Observer (U.K.); "A better class of entertainment" - The Times (U.K.); "Excitement, tension, passion, humor, and drama" - The Guardian (U.K.).
A passionate young barrister leads a legal revolution in this superb new courtroom drama set in 18th-century England. Appalled by the corruption of London's Old Bailey, William Garrow (Andrew Buchan, Cranford, The Fixer) advocates for the accused and pioneers the art of cross-examination, paving the way for our modern legal system. Aided by his mentor (Alun Armstrong, Little Dorrit, New Tricks) and the beautiful Lady Sarah Hill (Lyndsey Marshal, Being Human, The Hours), he faces down ruthless bounty hunters; callous judges; smug solicitors; and MP Sir Arthur Hill (Rupert Graves, The Forsyte Saga), who sees Garrow as a threat to the law-and his marriage.
Based on a true story and drawing on actual Old Bailey court records, this award-winning series follows Garrow as he argues his first cases, rails against outdated legal practices, and shows that one man can indeed change everything.
Acorn Media has announced that on February 1st they will release Garrow's Law - Series 1 on DVD in the USA (39.99 SRP) and Canada (CA$52.99 SRP). The 2-disc set will include 4 episodes, plus bonus Behind-the-Scenes Featurette (19 minutes long), a Photo Gallery, Cast Filmographies and a Biography of William Garrow. Running time for the feature episodes would be 240 minutes, and they are presented in anamorphic widescreen video, with English Stereo sound and English subtitles.
