The popular radio drama set in a Manchester legal practice, starring David Schofield.


Frank Twist and Sarah Gold lead a maverick team of freelance paralegals operating in the mean(ish) streets of Manchester. Their agency operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, dispatching legal representatives to set free burglars, muggers and even some innocent people who find themselves on the wrong side of a cell door.


Frank and Sarah have a history, and a child, but now their relationship is purely business, and in this collection of episodes, they and their colleagues deal with cases ranging from shoplifting to attempted murder. Their clients include the good, the bad and the ugly: from a teenager pulled in for texting an indecent photo of his girlfriend, to a man detained for suspected arson at a primary school.


There's also the high-powered lawyer and her daughter caught with drugs after a house party, the naked young woman arrested for protesting against the fur trade, the judge accused of rape, the football hero with feet of clay and the local gangster's son who gets into some serious trouble. There's a young teacher accused of having an affair with a sixth-former, a girl arrested for assaulting a police officer and a local councillor who's been caught selling drugs.


In addition, Sarah and Frank themselves become the subjects of police interest when they're called into Manchester Central for questioning - and that's just part of their Kafkaesque journey.


Created by Tom Fry and Sharon Kelly, these gripping dramas combine complex crime stories with witty humour. David Schofield stars as Frank Twist, with Gina Bellman, Tracy-Ann Oberman, Kathryn Hunt and Caroline Burns Cooke as Sarah Gold.


Written by Tom Fry and Sharon Kelly with contributions from Elizabeth Heery, Eve Steele, Ed Jones, Lizi Patch and Nuala O'Sullivan.


Produced and directed by Susan Roberts and Gary Brown.
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in June 2007
