- Synopsis:
Penned by Simon Nye and starring Richard Lumsden, Imelda Staunton and Jeremy Clyde, this intelligent, searingly funny sitcom chronicles the misadventures of a team of deeply flawed characters manning the offices of a small suburban law firm. 'Is It Legal?' originally aired between 1995 and 1998, winning the British Comedy Award for Best Sitcom in 1995. Newly qualified solicitor Colin Lotus enters the profession fired with idealism and a genuine desire to help people. He hardly gets off to an auspicious start. Having accidentally killed his first client at Hounslow solicitors Lotus Spackman and Phelps, of which he is a junior partner, his legal career takes a decidedly shambolic turn - but in the company of dozy office boy Darren, skill-free secretary Alison, permanently infatuated clerk Bob and golf-obsessed, sherry-soaked senior partner Dick, his conduct is not exactly conspicuous…
