I have never watched Silk I have however loved watching tweeting lawyers getting wound up by it. I was aware that the star who plays Martha Costello turned up on the recent day of action.
She was also on BBC news this morning where the director (I think) twice said with some passion that a barrister like his lead character will not exist in 5 years time. He did impress that this was due to no other reason than legal aid cuts. He did not quite go so far as to say that this is the reason this was the last series, but he might as well have.
I now think I might have to buy the box set – even if only out of gratitude.
