She lies to Paul that she was the foreman of the first trial and just wants true justice to prevail.

''The Jury'' is a BritishSeries aired on Creator/{{ITV}} in 2002, and a second season aired in 2011. A [[CourtRoomEpisode courtroom drama series]], both seasons dealt with an ongoing murder trial at the Old Bailey in UsefulNotes/London, focusing on the twelve jurors summoned to try the defendants, the defendants themselves, and the attorneys defending or prosecuting them.

The first season focused around the trial of Duvinder Singh (Sonnell Dadral), a [[UsefulNotes/{{Sikhism}} Sikh]], accused of murdering his classmate John Maher for bullying him. Defending Duvinder is George Cording ([[WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH Derek Jacobi]]), while Gerald Lewis ([[Film/ShakespeareInLove Antony Sher]]) represents the crown.

The series focused on racial prejudice and bullying in various forms.

The second season, released in 2011, with only a handful of the jurors getting focus. The season focused on the re-trial of Alan Lane ([[Film/TheSecretGarden1993 John Lynch]]), previously convicted of murdering three women he had relationships with. Due to insufficient evidence, Lane undergoes prosecution again with a new jury to decide his fate. However, it appears someone connected to the victims plots to rig the trial to get justice.

Amongst the jurors include Paul Brierly ([[Film/{{Underworld}} Steven Mackintosh]]), who cares for his ill mother; Rashid Jarwar (Aqib Khan), who has Aspergers syndrome and becomes obsessed with the previous trial; Sudanese refugee Tahir Takana (Ivanno Jeremiah) who wants to become an American citizen to reunite with his brother, and is aided by fellow juror, retiree Jeffrey Livingstone ([[Film/TheBestExoticMarigoldHotel Ronald Pickup]]); and Katherine Bulmore (Johdi May), a HotTeacher who [[TeacherStudentRomance slept with a student]] and faces the consequences. Representing Alan Lane is Emma Watts ([[Franchise/HarryPotter Julie Walters]]), while prosecuting him is John Mallory ([[Film/VForVendetta Roger Allam]]). The season also has an ongoing subplot about the abolition of trial-by-jury.

* AlasPoorVillain: John Maher's father, who believed in the court system and disliked his surviving sons trying to intimidate the jurors to rig the trial. When Duvinder is found innocent, he plots to assassinate him at the airport, but can't go through with it, eventually DrivenToSuicide.
* TheAlcoholic: Johnnie is a recovering one.
* AmoralAttorney: All of the [=QCs=] are required to uphold this, though Councillor Lewis seems a little, openly racist towards Duvinder and Sikhism in general. Emma Watts is quite controversial, snappy, and insulting towards witnesses for the prosecution.
* AxCrazy: A psychopath in season one is set up as a potential suspect that murdered John Maher. But, he is was never put on trial or considered as a suspect by police, despite a history of violence.
* TheBaroness: Eva, one of two jurors in the first season, to keep their guilty verdict til the end. She is more of the Rosa Klebb type of this trope, speaking in a classic Russian accent, and is quite icy and unreasonable.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Tasha Williams tries to rig Alan Lane's two trials to get him jailed. She lies to Paul that she was the foreman of the first trial and just wants true justice to prevail. It turns out she is the sister of one of Lane's apparent victims, and she amongst other family members were plotting to use Lane as a scapegoat to get justice to heal their grief, regardless if he is innocent or guilty.

* CoolSword: The weapon Duvinder apparently used to kill John Maher.

* CourtroomEpisode: The basis of the series.* DeadpanSnarker: Just about all of the attorneys, particularly Emma Watts.

* GeniusCripple / HandicappedBadass: 18-year old Rashid suffers from Asperger's Syndrome, but his illness proves to help him focus on every detail of Alan Lane's trial and discovers Tasha has been fooling Paul.
* HotTeacher: Katherine is quite the looker. Enough to elope with a seventeen year old boy.
* ImmigrantPatriotism: Averted, Tahir hated Sudan and with good reason. Likes America and the UK instead.
* JerkAss: Rose's husband Len, Peter's father-in-law, and, to an extent, John Maher's family (but with good reason), since they try to threaten the jurors in condemning Duvinder.
* JuryAndWitnessTampering: Happens in both seasons, where loved ones of the victims try to rig the trial to get a guilty verdict. Season one saw John Mayer's brothers trying to intimidate the jurors into voting guilty. Their father discourages this, having faith in the system.
** The second season had Tasha Williams and other loved ones of the victims trying to turn Alan Lane into a scapegoat, in order to be free of their own grief. And they rig the trial twice.

* [[PrincessForADay Juror For A Day]]: Lucy Cartwright is forced to act as her boss Theresa Vestry when the latter cannot attend jury service herself. This goes on throughout the whole second series without the duo getting caught.
* KangarooCourt: Nearly turns into this in the second series thanks to Tasha's meddling.

* ManipulativeBitch: Tasha, although she was a WellIntentionedExtremist and AffablyEvil.

* NobleBigotWithABadge: The first season's prosecutor Gerald Lewis shows traits of this against UsefulNotes/{{Sikhism}}.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: John Maher's family want Duvinder imprisoned or dead, attacking several jurors to try and force their hand.
** Tasha's vengeance in the second series is subtle and long. But it turns out to have been aimed at an innocent man, the victims' families

* ShipperOnDeck: Brian Bundy points out the lonely woman Ann has feelings for Alan. This is confirmed by the end of the series.

* UnwittingPawn: Both Alan Dale and Paul are manipulated by Tasha to ease the pain of the loved ones of Season 2's victims. Alan was merely framed due to being connected to the victims, whilst Paul was given false information to convict him.
* TheVicar: Charles, at first no longer a clergyman, but by the end of the series he has become a priest.

* BlackBestFriend: Tahir to Jeffrey.

* BodyHorror: John Maher was brutally hacked and slashed to death with over twenty wounds, all using one heavy, five-pound sword.
