Crown Court: the gripping courtroom drama from the 1970s and 1980s. <br />Mrs. Constance Bell (Maggie Fitzgibbon) was shocked to read in a magazine that a Ming vase had sold at auction for £95,000 - shocked, because she argues this vase was family property bequeathed by her late mother and which she says had been sold without permission. In a civil case, she is now suing her brothers, John and Peter, as well as antiques dealer Nigel Greatorex, whom she says improperly sold the item.<br /><br />Patrick "Jamie! Zoe!" Troughton stars as John Fisher. Peter Denyer, perhaps best known from "Please, Sir!", stars as the brother, Peter Fisher. Maggie Fitzgibbon will go on to appear in another Crown Court, "Songbirds out of Tune", which is well worth checking out. William Mervyn as Judge Campbell is a little more tetchy than usual, perhaps with good cause!
