Law & Order: UK - Series Five
"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 fifth series of the hugely successful 'Law & Order: UK'. For the first time we see a change of the lead cast with the departure of two members of the Crown Prosecution Service, Ben Daniels who was the Senior Crown Prosecutor James Steel, and Bill Paterson the CPS director George Castle.
Coming to the programme for the first time is Peter Davison as Henry Sharpe, Director of the CPS and Dominic Rowan as Jacob Thorne, Senior Crown Prosecutor.
'Law & Order: UK - Series 5' sees DS Ronnie Brooks (Bradley Walsh) and DS Matt Devlin (Jamie Bamber) investigate a hospital department with more than its fair share of untimely deaths, track down a rampaging gunman and discover the events that led to an innocent woman being gunned down in her own home – events that have serious consequences for the team.
Whilst the prosecution team Alesha Phillips (Freema Agyeman) and Jake Thorne (Dominic Rowan) struggle to get to the truth behind a missing toddler and the brutal murder of a much loved couple asleep in their new home.
James Fox, Lesley Manville, Colin Salmon, Greg Wise, Sam West, Lucy Speed and Patricia Potter will join as guest cast for series five.
Series 5 premiered on ITV1 & ITV1 HD from Sunday 10 July 2011. The series has 6 more exciting accounts from both sides of the British justice system.>
