About this deal

I agree with you completely. I'm not sure some people realise just how dangerous measles can be. The son of a friend of mine had measles when he was young - before vaccination was available. Although he recovered with no obvious side effects, he died when he was 19 from what proved to be complications caused by childhood measles. Deans, Jason (21 January 2005). "Bush proves a turn-off for 2". Media Guardian . Retrieved 27 April 2007. Other recurring characters include Deed's rebellious, animal rights activist daughter Charlie (played by Louisa Clein), who is initially a law student but later progresses to the courts; Deed's police friend, deputy assistant commissioner Row Colemore (played by Christopher Cazenove); and his clerk, Rita "Coop" Cooper (played by Barbara Thorn), who is often on hand to temper some of his more radical ideas. Rita "Coop" was involved in many scenes of the show and was shown frequently in Judge John Deed advertisements. The first three series of the programme have a self-contained structure, with a trial reaching its conclusion by the end of an episode. In later years, the series added a serialised format, with stories running over a number of episodes and a greater focus on the personal lives of characters other than Deed, with the main case concluding in each episode.

The factual accuracy of the series is often criticised by legal professionals and journalists; many of the decisions taken by Deed are unlikely to happen in a real court. The romanticised vision of the court system created by Newman caused a judge to issue a warning to a jury not to let the series influence their view of trials—referring to an episode where Deed flouts rules when called up for jury service. A complaint was made by a viewer about one episode claiming biased and incorrect information about the MMR vaccine, leading the BBC to unilaterally ban repeats of it in its original form. [1] All six series (with the exception of the two banned episodes from Series Five) have been released on DVD in the UK.

Yes but it is fiction. In real life we will get bad judges who make bad decisions. We see it happen in news reports where people are up in arms over a reported case and they don't agree with the verdict.

I guess the BBC can show whatever they want, and I do accept the points put forward in this thread about the potential dangers involved if something is presented which may pose a potential risk to public health. During a reality TV show one contestant, in an explosion of stress-filled anger, kills another on camera. Judge John Deed hears the trial of the producers, who are charged with manslaughter when its learned psychologists profiled contestants to find those with 'The most entertaining flashpoints'. Presumably because of the "message" that it is seen to be pushing (according to the regulator). Imagine if, during the 70's, the BBC had broadcast a drama that was sympathetic towards the IRA and its aims. It would still be a fictional drama, but imagine the outcry. Deed sits in The Hague to hear the case of a British soldier who killed 11 Iraqi civilians and is being accused of war crimes. A previous ruling Deed made against a British National Party councillor angers Muslim extremists, and a female assassin is sent to kill Deed. During the War Crimes case in The Hague, Deed learns that the British Soldier on trial is being sacrificed as part of the government's overall exit strategy. Deed's dilemma is one possible miscarriage of justice to save the lives of many soldiers.

Judge John Deed takes the case of Maurice Haart, a father accused of murdering the man who killed his daughter. Haart tells his barrister, Jo Mills, that he shot the man because he saw him driving the same lorry that he hit his daughter with, but he refuses to plead provocation. Deed's daughter Charlie introduces him to Rory, an environmental activist, and they are later arrested when they destroy GM crops. Judge John Deed is a British legal drama television series produced by the BBC in association with One-Eyed Dog for BBC One. It was created by G.F. Newman and stars Martin Shaw as Sir John Deed, a High Court judge who tries to seek real justice in the cases before him. It also stars Jenny Seagrove as the barrister Jo Mills, frequently the object of Deed's desire. A pilot episode was broadcast on 9 January 2001, followed by the first full series on 26 November 2001. The sixth and last series concluded on 18 January 2007. The programme then went on an indefinite break after Shaw became involved in another television programme, and he and Seagrove expressed a wish for the format of the series to change before they filmed new episodes. By 2009, the series had officially been cancelled. The six series produced make it the longest-running BBC legal drama. Adalian, Josef (24 October 2004).
