1 9 6 3 – 1 9 6 4 (USA)
30 x 90 minute episodes
A crime drama show in two parts that, in the first 45-minute section, saw Detective Sergeant Nick Anderson of the LAPD (Ben Gazzara) capture a crook and, in the second half, defence lawyer John Egan (Chuck Connors) attempted to get the ‘perp’ off the hook.
Using Los Angeles as its base locale, the series dramatised a criminal case each week.
The combination of crime caper/cop show and courtroom melodrama has been widely imitated since, not least by Law And Order.
