- Quotes
Judge John Deed: [sentencing the producer of a TV game show after a contestant has died] Celebrity. The pursuit of the talentless, by the mindless. It's become a disease of the twenty-first century. It pollutes our society, and it diminishes all who seek it, and all who worship it. And you must bear some of the responsibility for foisting this empty nonsense onto a gullible public.

Hilariously unrealistic
One of the most hilariously unrealistic shows ever made. Think Footballers' Wives for the judicial system. I am sure that the comments suggesting that this is realistic are being sarcastic.
The reason that this show is so funny is that Martin Shaw (like most of the other actors) takes his role so seriously. The show is actually rather similar to Rumpole of the Bailey, with outrageous coincidences, unlikely plot lines, and a parody of the British establishment. What sets Judge John Deed apart is the earnestness of the actors. It is as though the writers of Blackadder have been teamed up with the cast of Elizabeth R: and no-one has told the writers that it was meant to be serious or the actors that it is a comedy.
