Penelope Keith is Phillippa Troy, a single minded, hard working barrister who’s always happy to lay down the law, both inside and outside the courtroom.

Whatever the case, Phillippa likes a good argument, especially with her old adversary Gerald Triggs (Simon Williams), a barrister that is always proclaiming that God is on his side. She’s even prepared to push her luck in good-humored clashes with Judge “Witticism” Wallace. Phillippa does not suffer fools gladly, but her chambers are far from a model of efficiency. Her instructing solicitor is a complete hypochondriac and her clerk rarely stops fretting about the sandwich money.

One of Britain’s finest comedy actresses, Penelope Keith stars with the equally acclaimed Simon Williams in an original series offering diverse characters and sharply-written scripts that generate laughter and a strong audience following.
