Comedy series Misleading Cases focused on Albert Haddock who finds himself regularly in trouble with the law and in the dock, but thanks to his encyclopedic knowledge of ancient cases and laws he is usually able to get off.
Haddock normally found that Mr Justice Swallow was the magistrate in charge and Sir Joshua Hoot the opposing council.
Season three was known as A.P. Herbert’s Misleading Cases.
