The American

Episode 5 of 5

The arrival of a star US lawyer prompts stuffy John Fuller-Carp to copy his sharp tactics. Stars John Bird. From May 1996.

When star American lawyer Thurman Berkley arrives in chambers for a week, a culture clash seems inevitable.

But the stuffy John Fuller-Carp will do anything to win a case - even if it means adopting the rapping rhythms Thurman used so successfully in the OK Stimpson trial.

A run-of-the-mill GBH gets the full transatlantic treatment.

Clive Coleman’s sitcom about the questionable practices of a group of barristers.
