Trial and Retribution & The Commander
Lynda La Plante
From prolific crime author Lynda La Plante comes two highly stimulating and seductive TV dramas
Award-winning author and highly acclaimed screenwriter Lynda La Plante presents two of her most provocative and compelling television series to date - Trial and Retribution and The Commander, both are now available to own on DVD.
Trial and Retribution is a cutting edge crime drama in both style and content as it traces
the entire trajectory - in human and legal terms - of a serious crime.
The story begins as a crime is committed and DS Mike Walker and DI Pat North are sent to
investigate. While the two have very different policing styles, they soon find their working
relationship develops into a tantalizing love affair.
The police investigation soon proceeds to an arrest and then into the law courts where the
defendant is tried by a judge and jury. The viewers hear the final verdict - but it is for them
to determine whether justice has been done.
Trial and Retribution probes the human implications of a horrific crime, the impact on the
victim's family, the motivation of the suspect and the emotional devastation to the officers
involved. This series holds back no detail, resulting in a complete lack of predictability.
Lynda La Plante's

stars Amanda Burton, Hugh Bonneville and Matthew Marsh.
