She was acting big screen in the way she moves or just standing still & projecting herself. The tv acting requires by not projecting, it's a subtle thing but hit me straight away. Enjoyed it.
Thank you for uploading. First time I have watched Justice, came across it because I like the old black & white Margaret Lockwood films, so it is good to see her in colour and where she stands on her own. A great actress.
The early 70s where tv drama openly thought it ok to have William Franklyn downing a good few whiskies then driving off without seatbelts on (it was optional to wear or not) & drinking & driving normal too.
Fantastic effort to put all this up - thank you. Don't worry about a few Victor Meldrews out and about on here. Remarkable that this is around 50 years old. Surpassed only by Rumpole - and that was John Mortimer's best work. Rather better than John Thaw's wonky accent in Kavanagh QC. Or the crazy courtroom situations in the old lady fantasy porn that is Judge John Deed. Scripts rather variable, but Margaret Lockwood first rate and believable throughout
I remember watching this on the television in the nineteen seventies. There were a number of legal dramas on independent television at that time: "Six Days of Justice" accurately depicting cases in the Magistrates' Court, Crown Court and Justice. All of these series had striking theme tunes in common. I have since heard that the character that Margaret Lockwood portrayed was loosely based on the Barrister, Rose Heilbron QC, who later became a High Court Judge.
Court scene was a bit rushed, and how come amiss Peterson was not seen having a meeting with Mr Plato before the court appearance, also thought the court was a magistrates court without a jury, I live and learn from a very bad script.
The character is meant to be like that. She is working as a barrister in a man's world, where sexism was rife. She had to be tough to survive, that was the point of the character. Otherwise she would be trampled over by more experienced barristers and judges.
@@johnking5174 Oh god, it's a damn feminist sermon? Why'd you have to tell me that. It's still pathetic in that regard, esp. when Miss Marple et al had such personality and appeal -- but they were from a much saner era.
It's called acting! If you direct her to be fun & jolly & gay then she will oblige you. This is a drama in early 1970s but the very last episode has her doing the Can Can with Wayne Sleep & sketches with Morecambe & Wise & Freddie Starr😉.
Margaret Lockwood was class, sheer class.

I love the British series--attention to detail and most importantly the acting. Even the bit parts.
Still eminently watchable after all these years...

If you've not watch The Main Chance, one of the best I've seen, 45 episodes.
@@seltaeb3302 Where did you watch it? Was it on You Tube?
Thank you for posting

49:04 Great Theme Tune
i remember this series, i'll have to get it on dvd, if it's still available that is.
If you find it on DVD let me know as I want to get it on DVD too.
@@thesecretslimmer oooh yeah i will.
Brilliant! I've subscribed!
Me too! It was 50mins but somehow felt 90mins. Engrossing completely.
Ooh just found this. Hooked already.
Ssshhh ! You know who !!
@Andrew Wilson ended his acting career really.
How times have changed
Mr.Harriet's ex husband was a swine, who always cause hardship to all.
Court scene was a bit rushed, and how come amiss Peterson was not seen having a meeting with Mr Plato before the court appearance, also thought the court was a magistrates court without a jury, I live and learn from a very bad script.
I want to like it, but where's the old fun, jolly Lockwood, so full of life? She's grim and cold as a January day in Siberia here.

@@johnking5174 there's acting & real life & some people can't tell the difference. I blame Corrie!
@@seltaeb3302 I don't know much of her work but her perfect, lovable, spirited, FUN performance in Cast A Dark Shadow spoiled me for anything less.
