In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups.
The police who investigate crime, and the Crown Prosecutors who prosecute the offenders.
These are their stories.
Sound familiar?
It's the opening narration of the most recent version of the long-running
Law & Order franchise.
In fact, it's now in it's second season!

It's
Law & Order: UK, produced in England.
Creator Dick Wolf is overseeing the whole thing, but the main writer / producer is former
TorchWood
and
Life on Mars
staffer Chris Chibnall.
Plus, it features several genre performers as regulars, including Jamie Bamber (
BattleStar Galactica
), Harriet Walter (
Lord Peter Wimsey / Harriet Vane Mysteries
) and...
Fantastic Femme Freema Agyeman (
Dr. Who
,
TorchWood
,
Survivors
)! (Looks good in her barrister's robes, eh?)

Anyway, I was going thru the Sunday papers (which I pick up after 9pm on Saturday night) and I glanced thru the sale flyers.

Target Stores flyer usually has a page of new cds and dvds. Sometimes they have exclusives.
They sure did this week...
Law & Order:UK for
only $26.99!
I went online to target.com and noticed that, after this week, it'll be 39.99, so I'm going to grab it at my local store on Tuesday!
Maybe I'll see you there!
