Judge John Deed is on and it's all wrong, wrong, wrong. The court procedure is totally fucked up and no judge would ever do what the judge just did and the Attorney-General wouldn't act like that either ('cos he could be impeached) and, and, and-

Argh!

Haven't these people even heard of research? I know all about dramatic licence, but if The Bill can get police procedure right (and they do) why are the producers of Judge John Deed so unconcerned with reality?

Belated response.

I watch Deed only for Martin (he is luscious, isn't he? ;)

Wistful sigh. Oh, he is, he is. However, not even for Martin can I suffer any more Judge John Deed.

I'd forgotten that it's written by G.F. Newman. That explains a lot. If his research was always this lousy no wonder the various bodies he wrote about were up in arms over his portrayals of them.

Glad I could vent with a like minded soul

*g* You're very welcome. I share your pain ;)
