Crown Court
What is Crown Court about (plot, summary)
Crown Court ran on ITV from 1972 to 1984.
The twist was that though the cases were fictional, the jurors were real people drawn from a Granada TV afternoon audience, a hybrid format that feels strangely contemporary in the modern age of 'reality TV' and observational documentaries. The show was broadcast three afternoons a week, each story falling neatly into three episodes of prosecution, defence and verdict.
