Law & Order: UK - Season Three
"In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate
yet equally important groups. The police who investigate crime, and the Crown Prosecution Service
who prosecute the offenders."
The cream of British acting talent are back together for the third season of the hugely
successful 'Law & Order: UK'. The programme covers diverse storylines taken
from the original hit US series but all with a distinctly British perspective. Now the teams
are back to solve more perplexing crimes and bring the perpetrators to justice.
A change of cast for the Order team sees new members Peter Davison (Henry Sharpe, Director of
the CPS) and Dominic Rowan (Jacob Thorne, Senior Crown Prosecutor).
Law & Order: UK Season Three premieres on Wednesday, August 17th at 9pm ET/PT on BBC America.
Law & Order: UK - Season Two
Our very own Bradley Walsh is DS Ronnie Brooks, a real East End London, copper’s copper,
friend and partner to the charming DS Matt Devlin, Jamie Bamber (Battlestar Galactica,
The Last Detective, Ultimate Force) whose approach to policing is part seduction part force.
Both report to DI Natalie Chandler (Harriet Walter, Morris: A Life With Bells On,
Broken Lines, Atonement) a working mum who would back them to the end.
While the CPS (Crown Prosecution Service - prosecutes criminal cases investigated by the police in England and Wales and exists to ensure that wrongdoers
are brought to justice) team comprises Freema Agyeman (Dr Who, Torchwood, Little Dorrit) as
hard working, strong-willed young prosecutor Alesha Phillips; Ben Daniels (The Passion, The
State Within, Cutting It) as dedicated Senior Crown Prosecutor James Steel, a man on a mission
for justice; and Bill Paterson (Little Dorrit, Criminal Justice, Sea of Souls) as their
respected boss CPS director George Castle, a man trying to balance his ideals with the bigger
picture.
