Crown Court: the gripping courtroom drama from the 1970s and 1980s.
Roddy Maitland, the rising temperamental star of British tennis, stormed off court during a Wimbledon semi-final. He then drove up to Fulchester to confront Dr. Holt-Matthews, the father of his pregnant girlfriend, Gail. On being told that her pregnancy was now over, he attempted suicide in a hotel room by slashing his wrists. However, it is Maitland who is now on trial for criminal libel after writing a letter in which the Prosecution alleges he maliciously and falsely claimed the doctor to be "an abortionist" and "a murderer".
Watch out for appearances by Bernard Archard (Doctor Who) and Doreen Mantle (Mrs Warboys in One Foot in the Grave).
