BBC Silk TV Show Teardown S1E1 Barristers and the Bar | by BlackBeltBarrister

The BBC's Silk TV Show was an excellent portrayal of life as a Barrister of England and Wales. Not 100% accurate in every possible sense, but excellent overall with lots of learning points. I actually learned a lot for my Bar exams and the program is still very interesting to watch today as a practising Barrister.

This is published as a "fair use" and educational composition of analysis and critique. The original show, of course, is credited to the BBC.

It should also be said that this video teardown is for EDUCATION only! If you need legal advice, you should seek formal assistance.

This is also by no means a complete or comprehensive list of everything correct and everything incorrect in the Episode and should not be taken as such.

My personal take:
What a fantastic show with the following (and many more! That made the show possible):

Maxine Peake as Martha Costello QC, Barrister
Rupert Penry-Jones as Clive Reader QC, Barrister
Neil Stuke as Billy Lamb, Senior Clerk
John MacMillan as John Bright, Clerk
Theo Barklem-Biggs as Jake Milner, Junior Clerk
Alex Jennings as Alan Cowdrey QC, Head of Chambers
Recurring cast
Tom Hughes as Nick Slade, a pupil who shadows Martha Costello (Series 1)
Natalie Dormer as Niamh Cranitch, a pupil who shadows Clive Reader (Series 1)
