I wonder how Crown Court is doing in the ratings on TP TV now ie. if they can continue to show it?
Originally a popular show in the 1970s, it was shown between Wednesday and Friday afternoons, with of course
the jury being members of the viewing public rather than actors.
The verdict on Friday had the extra excitement of not being fully scripted and depended on what the jury had made of
the case.
I am sure that at least some of its audience were kids absconding from school LOL

Criminal Libel parts 1-3: www.tptvencore.co.uk/search?s=crown%20court&pg=1&sort=Latest"An actor whose extraordinary hatchet face was his fortune, Mr Archard was for decades one of British film and TV’s most distinctive and prolific character performers. For starters, he appeared four more times in Crown Court (twice as barrister William Boyce), played memorable villains in the Doctor Who stories The Power of the Daleks (1966) and Pyramids of Mars (1975) and married Annie Sugden in Emmerdale (only to become a victim of the soap’s infamous plane crash shortly afterwards)." fulchestercrowncourt.wordpress.com/2018/03/03/case-11-criminal-libel/ |

The Medium parts 1-3: www.tptvencore.co.uk/search?s=crown%20court&pg=1&sort=Latest"Mr Gable began his career in ballet, becoming principal male dancer at Sadler’s Wells in 1961. Due to a rheumatoid condition in his feet he switched to acting in 1967, becoming a regular in the films of Ken Russell – most famously as Tchaikovsky’s lover Count Anton Chiluvsky in The Music Lovers in 1970 (a few weeks before The Medium went out viewers could see Stanley Baxter impersonating Gable – and the rest of the cast – in a spoof of that movie). In 1982 he co-founded the Central School of Ballet, and eventually received a CBE for his services to dance. But to many people he’s best known for playing tragic villain Sharaz Jek in Peter Davison’s last Doctor Who story, The Caves of Androzani, in 1984." "An expert in smiling but cold career women, as exemplified by her regular role as scheming Laura Challis in The Plane Makers and her appearance in the 1967 Doctor Who story The Ice Warriors, Ms Gifford has also appeared in Adam Adamant Lives!, Public Eye, Out of the Unknown, Dr Finlay’s Casebook, Upstairs Downstairs, Casualty and a lot more besides. She was married (until his death) to actor John Cater, who surprisingly never made a trip to Fulchester." fulchestercrowncourt.wordpress.com/2017/07/26/case-7-the-medium/ |

Whatever Happened to George Robins? www.tptvencore.co.uk/search?s=crown%20court&pg=1&sort=Latest"One of many jobbing British character actors whose posterity is dominated by a single role in something with a frenzied cult following, in Mr Adams’ case it’s not Star Wars or even Doctor Who but The Rocky Horror Picture Show, in which he played Dr Everett V Scott. Other than that his CV is dominated by roles as policemen, but he was also a regular in Star Cops as moonbase commander Alexander Krivenko, Dr Lejeune in eight episodes of Bergerac and (a personal favourite of mine) anti-pornography campaigner Lord Coltwind in satirical sex comedy Eskimo Nell." fulchestercrowncourt.wordpress.com/2018/03/12/case-12-whatever-happened-to-george-robins/ |

Blackmail parts 1-3: www.tptvencore.co.uk/search?s=crown%20court&pg=1&sort=Latest"The onscreen title for this case is R v Brewer and Brewer, but it was listed in the TV Times as Blackmail: R v Brewer and Brewer. That title’s also used on the sleeve and menu of the Network DVD including in this case. This is the last Crown Court case to use the “versus” title format. Ian McCulloch has achieved cult kudos as a star of both the BBC’s post-apolcalyptic drama Survivors (1975-77) and a trio of Italian horror movies of varying degrees of notoriety (Zombie Flesh Eaters (1979), Zombie Holocaust and Contamination (both 1980). And as if to ensure the invites to fan conventions never dry up he’s also done a Doctor Who (1984’s Warriors of the Deep). Other work includes episodes of Man in a Suitcase, Dr Finlay’s Casebook, Colditz, Secret Army, Hammer House of Horror, The Professionals, Dempsey and Makepeace, Bergerac, Taggart and Poirot, and the regular role of Dr McKeown in the first series of Children’s Ward." fulchestercrowncourt.wordpress.com/2018/03/25/case-13-r-v-brewer-and-brewer/ |

Sunset of Arms: www.tptvencore.co.uk/search?s=sunset%20of%20arms&pg=1&sort=Latestfulchestercrowncourt.wordpress.com/2018/04/17/case-14-sunset-of-arms/ "As with his previous case, Bruce Stewart writes Sunset of Arms far more dramatically than the usual Crown Court, with plenty of surprising developments and shock revelations at the end of parts one and two. Director Brian Mills very much gets into the spirit of things – part two ends with the kind of crash zoom more often seen in a Doctor Who cliffhanger. There are some excellent performances too – James Maxwell overplays the dodderiness of Major Fitton just a bit, but the counsel are on especially brilliant form (Dorothy Vernon in particular really coming to life this week), and André Van Gysegham’s droll performance makes his judge a much funnier (though no less authoritative) character than we’re used to seeing on the bench (“I’m not at all sure that the phrase ‘establishment knocker’ appears in the dictionary” being his most perfectly delivered line)." |

Persimmons and Dishwashers. www.tptvencore.co.uk/search?s=persimmons&pg=1&sort=Latest"A hugely prolific TV actor from the 50s to the 90s, Mr Turner’s biggest role was as the lead in the fourth and final series of New Scotland Yard (taking over from John Woodvine) in 1974. Viewers of the original broadcast of Persimmons and Dishwashers could have seen him in recent weeks as Mr Hoggins in a BBC adaptation of Cranford and General Krebs in the LWT play The Death of Adolf Hitler. A small selection of his many other credits: two more appearances in Crown Court, commander of The Wheel in Space in Doctor Who in 1968 and roles in The Avengers (both original and New), Big Breadwinner Hog, Callan, Z Cars and Richard Attenborough’s Cry Freedom (Mr Turner was South African by birth and had previously appeared in the Albert Finney-directed TV movie on the same subject, The Biko Inquest)." "David Fisher’s Doctor Who stories are celebrated for their comedy, and this is the first of his Crown Court scripts to see this element come to the fore (despite, as James Elliot is at pains to remind us, the savagery of the case at hand)." fulchestercrowncourt.wordpress.com/2018/04/24/case-15-persimmons-and-dishwashers/ |

A Public Mischief - Parts 1-3: www.tptvencore.co.uk/search?s=crown%20court&pg=1&sort=LatestJohn Bown had recently been a regular in the final series of BBC eco-disaster drama Doomwatch and made small appearances in the Hammer movies Fear in the Night and Vampire Circus when he appeared in Crown Court. He was in a fair bit of other cult-attracting stuff as well: The Baron, The Avengers, The Saint, The Champions, Hammer’s The Devil Rides Out and Secret Army. He’s never been in the telly version of Doctor Who but played Antodus the Thal in the first big screen version, 1965’s Dr. Who and the Daleks. He also directed one movie, the classy (by British standards) 1969 erotic drama Monique." "ne of Crown Court‘s most prolific guest actors (he made a further four appearances as different characters), Donald Morley was the kind of unshowy but reliable workhorse who forms the backbone of British TV acting. In over 40 years he appeared in, well, practically everything. At the time of A Public Mischief‘s broadcast he’d most recently been on people’s screens as one of the baddies in the seventh series of Freewheelers. He was a regular in Compact back in the 60s, was in the 1964 Doctor Who story The Reign of Terror and appeared in an episode of The Plane Makers that also featured Julian Somers (though not series regular Reginald Marsh)." fulchestercrowncourt.wordpress.com/2018/05/06/case-16-a-public-mischief/ |

I sometimes can't find Crown Court on the TPTV catch-up site unless I do a search by title. Does it sometimes not get displayed as being on offer?
