'Criminal Justice' Served At MIP-TV

Portman Film & Television, part of the Digital Rights Group (DRG) will unveil the brand new BBC drama series Criminal Justice to international broadcasters at MIP-TV in April.
A high end, 5 x 1 hour psychological thriller with sex, murder and action at its core, Criminal Justice features a cast of engaging characters including Ben Whishaw (Perfume), Con O’Neill (Waking the Dead) and Pete Postlethwaite (Jurassic Park, The Constant Gardener).
'Criminal Justice' is a BBC In house Production for BBC1 directed by rising talent Otto Bathurst, who brought his own distinctive vision to the highly successful series Hustle and won many plaudits for his stylish direction of Golden Globe nominated 'Five Days'. It is written by Peter Moffat, the former barrister who created and wrote the award winning series North Square and the BAFTA and Emmy nominated 'Hawking', and produced by Pier Wilkie.
Zoe Lawrence, BBC Commercial Manager, Drama, said: “I hope that this will be the first of many successful partnerships between the BBC and Portman. From the start they just 'got' this project, and their enthusiasm coupled with their proven sales expertise will, I'm sure, make Criminal Justice an international hit.”
