Post Description

Garrow's Law is a British period legal drama about William Garrow. The series debuted on 1 November 2009 on BBC One and BBC HD.
Set in the Old Bailey of Georgian London against a backdrop of corruption and social injustice, Garrow's Law is a four-part legal drama inspired by the life of pioneering barrister William Garrow.

The series, co-created by Tony Marchant, is based on real legal cases from the late 18th century. Andrew Buchan as Garrow leads a cast including Alun Armstrong and Lyndsey Marshal.

From rape and murder to high treason and corruption, each episode begins with the investigation of a real crime sourced from the Old Bailey archives of the day. In an age where defence counsel was for the minority, the youthful Garrow and his associate Southouse work to uncover the truth or fight for justice, championing the underdog and pioneering the rigorous cross-examination of prosecution witnesses that paved the way for the modern legal system.

A gifted maverick, at times arrogant and with a burning sense of destiny, Garrow's drive to change the nature of the trial creates powerful enemies both in the corrupt underworld and among the political elite.
