The BBC television series Blind Justice, produced in 1988 by Michael Wearing, directed by Rob Walker and starring Jack Shepherd and me, was one of the bravest things he ever did. It dealt with many timely significant legal cases and was so cutting edge that there was a danger of an episode’s transmission being stopped by parliament.
Michael was no crowdpleaser – however popular Boys from the Blackstuff became, and good as it was. This political “hot potato” has never been re-shown by the BBC. It would be honouring Michael’s memory for Blind Justice to be seen again.
