The War of the Five Kings is drawing to a close, but new intrigues and plots are in motion, and the surviving factions must contend with enemies not only outside their ranks, but within.

(简介转自桃花坞) 昨天开播的 BBC 2009年新剧 Garrow’s Law: Tales from the Old Bailey，说的是18世纪英国律师 William Garrow 的故事。我们现在经常在法庭戏中看到的律师质询证人的唇枪舌剑和高度戏剧效果，都是从这位律师开始的。William Garrow 出身平凡，即使当上了法庭律师，也被贵族出身的法官和律师嘲笑缺乏风度。当时的法庭辩论非常讲究礼节，William Garrow 打破了这个规矩，不仅把当庭质询证人作为辩护的重要手段，而且具有戏剧效果，成为一种艺术。

Lord Robert Crawley and his family live a life of leisure, while a fleet of servants, including butler Carson, attend to their every need. But two events conspire to shake things up: the sinking of the Titanic, which claims Crawley's heirs, and the return of his valet, Bates. Since Crawley and Lady Cora have three daughters, his distant solicitor cousin, Matthew, becomes heir to the estate. With that, the scheming begins, since Thomas the footman views Bates as an interloper and Crawley's mother, Violet, feels the same way about Matthew's mother, Isobel.
