When There's No Law
Prismark103 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
David Main is back as a solicitor but there might be no room for Walter Clegg. His conviction means that David would have to discard Walter.

There is also no room in the practice as a partner with Henry and Margaret. Although Margaret is willing to reinstate David for a price.

David Main once again shows his commercial acumen when he comes to the rescue of George Fisher. A department store owner is under financial pressure, his bank loans have been called in and he might have to sell out cheap.

Fisher went to Henry first, but Margaret realises that David has a possible solution but it is a risk that pays off.

David's first case on his own is defending a grieving father Gerry Baxter on a murder charge. He badly beat up a drug pusher after his daughter died of an overdose.

A gritty episode for its time. Although the actress playing Baxter's daughter did not look 16. These days the scenes of a teenage junkie might be more sordid.

The scenes with David Main coming to the aid of Fisher is very much the vibe of The Main Chance of old. He is very much a corporate law solicitor than a criminal one.
