Crown Law

Crown Law is a legal drama series (in a half-hour format) created by former forum member allthingsuk in 2012. The first episode was published on 2nd January 2012, and the first series consisted of 54 episodes, which eventually ended on 16th August 2012. The second series began on 18th November 2012, however only six episodes were ever published. allthingsuk had intended to write a full second series, including specials, but these never materialised. The final episode was Episode 60, published on 24th January 2013.
Each episode was titled. Although very few episodes contain dialogue, episodes grew increasinly long, having initially been quite succinct in length. Episodes were not published to any particular timetable, rather they went out sporadically but frequently.
The series was 'imagined' by allthingsuk as being broadcast at 20:00 on Channel 4.
A title card was designed and used retroactively part way through Series 2, designed by Jamie. As the title card has since become inaccessible, a slightly amended one was created in April 2020 by Imago Productions to replace it. It features the words Crown Law in upper case, adjacent to each other using the font Georgia. CROWN is coloured white and LAW a light brown, to reflect the image of a gavel that it straddles on an angle (although gavels are not and never have been used in British courts).
==Reception==
Despite being on barely a year, Crown Law was popular, gaining regular positive feedback along the way.
==Awards==
In all, the project won four accolades, all of which at WRIXAS 2 on 2nd April 2012:
*Best Female: Helen Allinson
*Best Shock: Layton Destroys An Incriminating Tape
*Best Baddie: Terry Layton
*Best Episode: No Way Back
Like several other dramas at that ceremony however, Winds Of Change came away empty-handed, outflanked by established drama series Saints High - which won one - and the first series of City Girls, a major success story at that ceremony winning seven awards.
