Story: The entire first series of this television drama starring John Thaw (Inspector Morse, The Sweeney) as one of the country's leading criminal advocates in London, who has worked his way up from a northern working class background. In the opening episode 'Nothing But the Truth' his wife feels neglected because his work keeps him away from the family, so she turns to having an affair with another barrister, causing even more distress to the young family. On top of this, he is involved in a difficult case defending a young student accused of raping a middle aged housewife. In 'Heartland' Kavanagh is asked to prosecute an ex-cop who hospitalised a young tear-away. The mother of the child believes that the ex-cop has turned into a vigilante and that the incident wasn't an accident. Kavanagh is unsure as to whether he will win the case, but the mother's emotional appeals win him over. In 'A Family Affair' Kavanagh decides to take on a family case, even though he usually steers well clear, of a wealthy businessman who takes the law into his own hands by snatching his young son from school. Alongside all his work worries, his young daughter is beginning to grow up, putting even more on his already over-full plate. In 'The Sweetest Thing' he has to defend a prostitute accused of murdering a wealthy client. The evidence points strongly towards her guilt, so Kavanagh must use all his skills to prove her innocence. At the same time, his wife is looking to start a new job that will add even more pressures to their already strained relationship.
