Synopsis
The duty of serving on a jury is examined in this courtroom drama, a mini-series created for British television. The case concerns a young Pakistani student who is on trial for the ax murder of a fellow classmate. The case is engulfed in controversy due to the racial implications that have been grabbing the headlines and dividing the country. This added hype gives jurors a bigger picture to ponder as they decide the fate of the accused. Derek Jacobi gives a standout performance representing the defense.

4.0 out of 5 stars Courtroom drama delving into the lives of the jurors, 8 Jan 2006
By pointone (Bournemouth UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
With six episodes this superb courtroom drama is a true old fashioned serial, and how the extra time available pays off.

This is an intense drama that never gets over the top, it comprises the racial tensions created by the trial of a sixteen year old Sikh accused of murdering a white boy from his school, The families are contrasted with the accused Sikh’s family shocked and dignified, the murdered boys father and brothers taking a vengeful racist attitude amidst the fathers grief for his murdered son.

The story also concentrates on six of the jurors, delving into their private lives and fears, failing marriages and victims of scams, an alcoholic released from re-hab the morning of the trial, a trainee catholic priest going through a period of extreme self doubt. Among the large cast are many familiars of TV serials and dramas over the years all acting well and for me this added considerably to the pleasure.

David Jacobi is outstanding as the defending council and the courtroom scenes are gripping. Outstanding screen play, good direction with well controlled tension and pace provide an involving drama that can be viewed many times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tremendously good production, 27 Nov 2007
By IrishGal (Ireland) - See all my reviews
I saw this TV mini a few years ago when it was first broadcast. It has an excellent script, stellar cast, and high-quality production values. All the stories of the jurors are complex and real, things don't all get resolved or not the way you expect, and you still don't ever know for sure if the boy is guilty or not, even after the jury reaches its verdict. There are brilliant performances from everyone. People who've only seen Gerry Butler swinging a sword or screaming "tonight we dine in hell!" in leather underpants will be pleasantly surprised by his emotional turn as a recovering alcoholic who makes his first tentative foray into a relationship with a married fellow juror. Don't know her name, but the actress is sublime as the tortured wife of an emotionally and physically crippled man who is suffocating her with his possessiveness and suspicion. She welcomes the freedom that jury duty provides and is like a trembling flower blossoming. I particularly liked Michael Maloney's battles with his in-laws. He is fairly vibrating with intensity in his battle of wills with his father-in-law.

You won't be disappointed.
