Arguably one of the most memorable legal dramas in the history of British television, Crown Court was originally broadcast on ITV and was water cooler TV. The show used fictional cases but the jurors were actually members of the public. Different endings were filmed to account for the verdict of the jury and this added an intensity and twist to the normal courtroom dramas of that era.

Mr Bolton, an eminent Fulchester Councillor, is accused of indecent assault. It is alleged that he fondled the breasts of his 18 year old secretary Gillian Heyes in his offices when she was called in to take down dictation from the Coucillor. The court will hear that the incident was witnessed by another employee who had entered the office while the assault was taking place. Barry Deeley QC leads the defence. His team will suggest that Miss Heyes' family have held a grudge against the Councillor since an application to sub-let their property was rejected.
