It's a series featuring mostly high profile libel cases with 2 featured in each episode and it started at the end of March.
Here is the description of the program.
Through extraordinary access inside Britain's biggest law firms, we follow the legal twists and turns of a number of libel and privacy battles as they unfold over the course of two years.
It's normally a world that's notoriously private, but across the series we get the inside spin on each case as well as the drama and human stories behind them. What prompts a person to sue or defend themselves in an action and how easy it is to clear your name or set the record straight when you think you've been wronged? Also, in a world where lawyers don't come cheap and damages may be small, if indeed you get them, is it just the wealthy that get to do battle and is it always worth it in the end?
Charting the emotional and financial toll to both claimants and defendants, we follow high profile faces as well as very ordinary people risking everything to try and put things right.
