Talk:Judge John Deed

message: From the Article: "The show is known for unusual judgements and legal twists which would be unlikely in any real courtroom. Examples of these include Deed effectively running a manslaughter case, presiding in a case in which both his ex-wife and daughter (as a pupil) appear on different sides, suggesting to a jury that it may wish to reconsider its verdict, going to the media with a disagreement about a sentence in a case, then standing on the appeal bench for said case, and, perhaps most damningly, forming a public crusade against a corrupt Home Secretary (who also happens to be his ex-wife's husband). The show also unrealistically portrays the Lord Chancellor's Department effectively micro-managing and trying to influence individual cases to support the Government's aims, suggesting a degree of power and control over the judiciary that the Government simply doesn't have (or indeed, it could be argued, doesn't have in any sphere of public administration)."
Is it just me, or does this section sound just a little defensive? As in, someone from the Home office or Lord Chanvellor's Department has decided to set the record straight because s/he cant stand "Deeds" actions within the show? Could it be re-written a bit better to say that, along with virtually every piece of fiction, it is not completely factually accurate? I'm leaving it for now... 58.7.171.182 04:46, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bias? 

message: I've just updated the Characters section, as it seemed from the original text that all of Deed's colleagues in the legal system oppose to him all the time. I've just watched an episode with Deed working with help from both Sir Joseph and Sir Monty, so I thought they deserved a view from both sides :) Since I am Dutch, it is possible some terms can be beter worded, so feel free to edit spelling mistakes out of or better official terms into the text :) Hertog 22:56, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Updated Characters section a bit 

message: Just a hit and run comment: avoid short sections, such as those with one paragraph. Consider merging some of them. The article is in good shape... The JPStalk to me 17:33, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't like the highlight box for the quote by David Mitchell in the "Critical Reaction" section. Mitchell is a comedian, not a TV critic, and so I think it is out of place being highlighted so much. I suggest moving it from the "box" and instead putting it in the ordinary text.
