- Synopsis:
In a world before DNA revealed culprits scientifically, policing and prosecution relied upon instinct, insight and experience to guide them in their investigations. In Scottish Law the Procurator Fiscal is the public prosecutor, and in that role Iain Cuthbertson as John Sutherland strode the legal landscape like a colossus, bringing this unique legal concept to a wide audience and great acclaim when the series were broadcast between 1973 and 1976. In these ten surviving episodes from the thirteen which made up series one, a hardened John Sutherland finds himself in conflict at times with the police, the community and even his co-workers in his pursuit of truth and justice. The always gripping, often surprising cases include a widow returning to the home of her murdered husband in search of something other than revenge; a dead body which could lead to a stolen fortune; a runaway child looking for her mother who only finds trouble; a fatal climbing incident that may have been no accident; and a murderer who escaped the law but cannot escape his fate. - Actors:
