What happens

The Case is a five-part British television legal drama series, written and created by David Allison, that broadcast over five consecutive days from 31 October 2011 on BBC One. The series stars Dean Andrews as Tony Powell, a defendant accused of the murder of his terminally ill partner Saskia Stanley (Caroline Langrishe), whose life Tony helped to end. Saskia's family suspect Tony may have an ulterior motive for helping Saskia end her life, but it falls to barrister Sol Ridley (Tristan Gemmill), defending his first murder case, to expose the truth. Episodes were broadcast at 14:15 daily as part of the channel's daytime schedule. The Case remains David Allison's second and final original production for television, following his debut with the Sky Living series Bedlam earlier the same year. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
