    From fixer to Law Fixer

    Andrew Buchan was very good in The fixer but in this his acting ability steps up again. The story line is about an early 18th century barrister who was literally at the forefront of changing the legal system away from how the titled rich could buy their way out of trouble. Imagine Robin Hood in a wig in helping the poor and downtrodden. Great stories and very authentic sets. Excellent acting and cast. An absorbing series. Not one too miss.
