A stellar cast, lead by Andrew Buchan (Cranford, Party Animals), Alun Armstrong (New Tricks, Little Dorrit), Lyndsey Marshal (Being Human, Rome), Aidan McArdle (Beautiful People, Jane Eyre) and Rupert Graves (Wallander, God On Trial), return for a second series of Â鶹Éç One's acclaimed legal drama Garrow's Law, which recently started shooting in Scotland.

A Twenty Twenty / Shed Media Scotland production through Â鶹Éç Scotland, the four-part factual drama is inspired by the life of pioneering barrister William Garrow (Buchan). RTS award-winning Garrow's Law revisits the Old Bailey of Georgian London and is set against a backdrop of corruption and social injustice, based on real legal cases from the late-18th century.

In an age where the defence counsel acted in the minority of cases, the young William Garrow championed the underdog and pioneered the rigorous cross-examination of prosecution witnesses that paved the way for our modern legal system today.

Dominic Barlow, executive producer, Twenty Twenty / Shed Media Scotland, says: "We are delighted to be bringing Garrow's Law back to Â鶹Éç One. This series will not only see Garrow fighting legal and political injustice in the Old Bailey but also injustice in his personal life that could end his career at the Bar."

Mark Bell, Commissioning Editor, Arts, adds: "Tony Marchant and the team at Twenty Twenty did a great job in bringing William Garrow from the shadows of British legal history to a broad audience on Â鶹Éç One. Round Two of his trials and tribulations will see him continue to fight for love and justice through more shocking and amazing cases of the time."

Co-created by Tony Marchant (The Knight's Tale, Mark Of Cain, Crime & Punishment), Garrow's Law, series two is produced by Nick Pitt (Robin Hood, Silent Witness) and directed by Ashley Pearce (Poirot, The Commander). Executive producers are Dominic Barlow and Tim Carter for Twenty Twenty / Shed, Gaynor Holmes for Â鶹Éç Scotland Drama and Mark Bell, Commissioning Editor, Â鶹Éç Arts & Knowledge.

Garrow's Law series two was commissioned Jay Hunt, Controller, Â鶹Éç One, and Mark Bell, Commissioning Editor, Arts.

The second series starts shooting at the end of June until mid-August at Â鶹Éç Scotland's Dumbarton studios. It will broadcast later in 2010.

Garrow's Law continues in the footsteps of distinctive programming made recently through Â鶹Éç Scotland including Single Father (Â鶹Éç One), The Deep (Â鶹Éç One), Lip Service (Â鶹Éç Three), One Night In Emergency (Â鶹Éç One Scotland), River City (Â鶹Éç One Scotland), Waterloo Road (Â鶹Éç One) and Wallander (Â鶹Éç One).
