First viewed : 3 January 1995
John Thaw bounced back from the debacle of A Year in Provence with this popular legal drama series in which he played a ( usually ) defence barrister. The episodes were 90 minutes in length with production values similar to Morse.
I watched the first season with a reasonable amount of interest but it never really caught fire for me. There were too many dull scenes with his wife ( Lisa Harrow ) and the plots seemed a little mechanical, with over-use of "twist" endings which often left Kavanagh looking a bit of a mug. You ended up not taking anything at face value while waiting for the big revelation.
There were five seasons and one further episode in 2001 which was all they could manage due to Thaw's illness and subsequent death.
