The Master Of Eloquence Returns September 26, 2004
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
The fourth series includes some of James Kavanagh's most memorable cases. Viewers will be pleased to find that this series includes some of the best characters of previous ones, including James's kind head of chambers, Peter Foxtrott and his pompous rival, Jeremy Aldermatin, though James's late wife is sadly missed.pIn Momento Mori, James defends a doctor who is accused of poisoning his wife. In a chilling climax, we learn of the darker secrets that emerge about the accused's past.pJames returns to the poverty-stricken background of his native Bolton in Care In The Community. As he defends a father who was jointly accused of murdering a baby, Peter is having some difficulty in representing the unresponsive mother whilst he has other things on his mind. pThe subject of provocation in a domestic murder trial is explored in Briefs Trooping Gaily, though this episode lacks the intricate plots that typify the rest of the series. Jeremy does however provide copious entertainment value, as he pursues his amateur operatic interests and is in trouble after being caught red-handed absent-mindedly reading another counsel's brief.pBearing Witness by contrast is the strongest episode in the series. Here, James puts aside his personal views when he represents the mother of a young Jehovah Witness boy who refuses a blood transfusion. After the boy dies, James becomes a witness at her trial for manslaughter. The contempt that James initially feels for the mother is transformed into real empathy. Meanwhile, Jeremy's attempt to gain a reputation as a champion for eco-warriors backfires adds mirth to the episode.pThe bleak surroundings of a coastal parish in Norfolk provide the setting of Innocency of Life (sic). After James cross-examines a widowed parishioner who accuses the vicar of misconduct in a church disciplinary hearing, the plot turns and he ends up defending her when she is accused of murdering her husband.pThe coastal theme continues in Dead Reckoning, where James prosecutes the owner of a drowned trawler for manslaughter. This episode is reminiscent of some of the earliest series', as James's masterful cross-examining skills show no mercy to the accused.pI would rate Briefs Trooping Gaily as 3 stars, with the other episodes meriting 4 stars each apart, apart from Bearing Witness which deserves the full 5.

Created as a vehicle for John Thaw, 'Kavanagh QC' series 4 marked a series in transition with several cast members moving on and new names arriving in to replace them. brWith the departure of Lisa Harrow as Kavanagh's wife the show was left with a dour widower as its central figure. Perhaps to compensate they drafted in Valerie Edmonds (replacing Anna Chancellor) as Kavanagh's assistant. She creates a lively and enjoyable partnership with John Thaw that makes the courtroom sequences very enjoyable to watch.brThis series contained some of the strongest episodes of the entire run. The opening and closing episodes are particulary good. The support cast is of an amazingly high standard, with Oliver Ford Davies a particular stand out as the all knowing head of chambers.brThe guest actors are also excellent. Tom Courtney features as a GP in the first episode, and other actors such as Caroline Harker, Kenneth Cranham and Geraldine James also put in appearences.brIt is solid British TV at it's best. Nothing ground breaking but every story is well executed and full of twists. John Thaw proves again that he was the finest TV actor of his generation with a great performance over six episodes. Taking the character from the raw loss of his wife to the hopeful acceptence of a future without her. brIn court he is a masterful advocate and fans of courtroom dramas will enjoy all the verbal sparring and questioning of witnesses that goes on.brContaining all six episodes from the fourth series this DVD represents excellent value for money even though there's a distinct lack of extras.
