Product Description
Despite the red robe and wig, Judge John Deed is no average high court judge. Good-looking, fit and fifty-something, he has a rakish charm that belies his sharp intellect. His passion for justice and his maverick approach set him at odds with the Lord Chancellor's department. This judge's individual approach too often flies in the face of convention for his own good as he determinedly avoids the traditionalism the system tries to force upon him.
Contains the complete series 1 as well as the pilot episode. Includes: 1. Pilot - Exacting Justice, 2. Rough Justice, 3. Duty of Care, 4. Appropriate Response, 5. Hidden Agenda.
Judge John Deed has become one of Martin Shaw’s defining roles. The sharp intellect, rakish charm, keen wit and passionate belief in justice were all qualities G F Newman had in mind for Martin when writing the series.

I recall watching these wonderful episodes during their first transmission and have come to the conclusion that along with Waking The Dead, and Silent Witness, they are some of the best drama series produced by BBC Television for many years. Martin Shaw's portrayal as the Maverick Judge John Deed is amazing to watch. Moreover, ably supported by a wonderful cast, Jenny Seagrove, Caroline Langrishe and the veteran actors Donald Sinden and Simon Ward. Each episode is a story on its own, none of them seem padded out, watchable for the dramatic court room scenes which never fail to amaze. I am sure fans will buy this anyway, if you have not seen them yet, give them a try, you wont be disappointed.

Everytime you see Martin Shaw you cannot take away the memories of Ray Doyle in the Professionals but he has matured into a really fine actor and alongside the heavyweights of Simon Ward and Donald sinden he has made the character of John Deed very believable.
The scripts and storylines are right up there with some of the BBCs finest dramas and with impressive acting this series will stand the test of time.
I have seen recent repeats of various episodes on Sky and normal television and enjoy watching them again and again for the pleasure of top quality drama.
Take the recent new episodes of Touch of Frost,the storylines were disappointing and the acting in my opinion not up to the best of the original episodes.Thankfully the series of Judge John Deed finished on a high with possibly not a weak episode among them.Each courtroom drama was unique and none used the same storylines to make a further episode.
John Deed will remain the finest courtroom drama alongside Crown Court and in years to come we will recognise the series as a landmark in BBc drama.

It's taken a while but finally Judge John Deed is on DVD!
All the episodes, including the pilot are top-class and the seperate plots run smoothly along the continuing swtorylines; including the intoxicating relationship between Deed and Mrs Mills.
A brilliant series, well worth the money.
Bring on the next series'!

Excellent drama
Enthralling stories of a judge fighting corruption and for justice. The sort of person one would like to see more in everyday life / politics. Highly recommended.
