Judge John Deed

A lawyer represents himself in a murder trial

While presiding over a murder trial in which a lawyer is representing himself and his younger siblings, Deed rekindles his affair with the scheming Francesca Rochester, ignoring his pregnant daughter's pleas for help in the process. Blind to what's happening around him, and resisting warnings from Jo, the judge eventually realises his mistress has been deceiving him and must hope he has not left it too late to come to the aid of Charlie and her unborn child.
