Judge John Deed Season 5 Episode 4
In court, Deed has to judge the case of a couple who are fighting their local council over a police communications mast on the roof of the building they live in. Gilly Bridges has motor-neurone disease, while her husband Jake has stomach cancer, which they claim are connected with the ‘tetra’ mast. The incidence of both diseases in the Bridges’ block of flats is many times the statistical norm. Jo represents Jake and Gilly Bridges, while Deed’s former wife George appears for the defendant council.
Then Deed receives an application from Rose Hussein, the English wife of a former government minister from Iraq. Rose believes depleted uranium used by the British Army in its tank shells killed her family – and she wants the court to establish the facts. Of course, the government doesn’t want the case to be heard.
