   A television institution that lasted for over a decade, Crown Court was a 
   

   much-loved courtroom drama which, although the cases were fictional, 

   used 'real' jurors chosen from member of the public. 

   Multiple endings were prepared for each story, dependent on whether 

   the accused was found guilty or acquitted of the charges, giving each story 

   a strength and energy which raised it far above that of normal courtroom 

   dramas. 

   Trivia for "Crown Court" (1972 -1984) The jury was composed of ordinary 

   lay people (not actors) chosen at random from the electoral roll of 

   Manchester where the Granada TV studios were located. Only the jury 

   foreman was an actor - this was needed to comply with Equityrules on 

   speaking parts only being given to Equity members. 

   All the episodes of a given case were recorded on the same day and 
   the jury was given thirty minutes to reach its verdict, based on the 
   evidence that it had heard. 

   For many stories, two endings were scripted and rehearsed to match 

   whichever verdict (guilty or not guilty) the jury happened to return.
   The theme tune to the show was "Distant Hills". It was released as the 
   B side to Simon Park Orchestra's UK   Number 1 single "Eye Level".
