Rose and Maloney

Who Does It Take To Put Justice on Trial? Rose Linden (Sarah Lancashire) is a lead caseworker with the Criminal Justice Review Agency, an organization that investigates possible miscarriages of justice. She is brilliant and dedicated, but her maverick attitude often both inspires and frustrates her CJRA partner, the very non-confrontational Maloney (Phil Davis). What the two do have in common, however, is a dedication to rooting out truth. It's no easy job. As they work to disentangle memories from facts, seeking to make amends for lives shattered by incompetence and gross injustices, Rose and Maloney learn all too well that, when past and present collide, the truth is invariably the victim. A 120-minute pilot episode split into two parts, was shown on 29th and 30th September 2002 on ITV1. It proved a ratings success and a full series was commissioned, which consisted of 3 two-part stories, each episode being 60-minutes long
