Between 1995 and 2001, Central Television produced the British television series Kavanagh QC for ITV. Series 1-6 are available on Region 2 DVDs, and it is frequently rebroadcast on ITV3. The series stars John Thaw as the working-class barrister James Kavanagh QC from Bolton, Greater Manchester. Later episodes, as his parents' health deteriorates, including a conversation with a coworker who assumed Kavanagh was originally from Yorkshire, reveal this. The show focused on both his legal battles and domestic issues, including the passing of his loyal and adoring wife. Later, he dates another lawyer. In court, Kavanagh is typically shown representing a client who first appears to be on the verge of conviction, however on occasion, Kavanagh is seen in a prosecuting capacity. Kavanagh frequently faces cases in the main narrative that have a subtext of racism, sexism, or other prejudice. The pomposity and self-centeredness of Jeremy, a fancy barrister in chambers, provided hilarity in the side stories. In the courtroom, Kavanagh's adversaries cannot intimidate him with threats or bribes because he will not tolerate injustice.
