Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
The fact that John Thaw was able to make his eponymous character in Kavanagh Q.C. stand out as a unique personality distinct from the superficially similar Inspector Morse says much about his understated skills as an actor. Thaw brought his trademark mixture of curmudgeonly belligerence and gruff sensitivity to Kavanagh, but the barrister--who first appeared on British television screens in 1995 while the Oxford detective was still alive and kicking--is no polished-up Morse. He is far more worldly, is married, and has a family. And although he is often troubled by his cases, he is never afraid to play the system. He knows that there are devious, even superficial lawyers, some of them in his own chambers, whom he must face across the courtroom, but he acknowledges them as an unavoidable aspect of the world in which he works. The plots are often convoluted, but Kavanagh's wielding of the trusty sword of truth is always irresistible, particularly when the case involves some kind of high level government aberration. The four episodes included in Set 1 are 'Nothing But the Truth,' 'Heartland,' 'A Family Affair,' and 'The Sweetest Thing.' --Piers Ford

Rating:  - Kavanagh QC
This would have to be one of the best TV / DVD series of all time I'm am so happy that you made it available for sale. Many Thanks.
Rating: - Begin enjoying Kavanagh NOW
Begin seeing this series, now! Go to your Wish List and your Cart, and fill it with some of the "Kavanagh Q.C." discs, now! For some now-unbelievable reason, I had waited about a year between first learning of this British television series, and finally watching any episode. The disc for Set 1, Disc 1, includes two episodes: "Nothing But the Truth" and "Heartland." Also, this disc includes these special features: "John Thaw: A Tribute" and "The Birth of a Series" and "Kavanagh Q.C. Trivia" ... Read More
Rating: - Kavanagh is not Morse, but you'll love this series just the same.
Actor John Thaw, who as Inspector Morse made that series one of the most popular TV mystery series ever filmed, began work in the Kavanagh QC series immediately upon finishing the Morse series. Kavanagh ran from 1995 - 2001, with Thaw filming Morse specials (1995 - 2000) between episodes and seasons of Kavanagh. Barrister James Kavanagh is a much less brittle character than Morse, a family man whose wife has had an unfortunate affair which they have managed to put behind them, their affection for each ...

Rating:  - Disappointed
Being an enthusiastic viewer and collector of all the Rumpole books and DVD's, I optimistically ordered the first Kavanagh QC set. From the first episode to the last, the writing, story lines and family-home life of Kavanagh made me feel depressed and disillusioned. There was nothing to smile or chuckle about in any of the episodes. Kavanagh's life was apparently one long series of dismal challenges and choices. I felt misled by the complimentory Amazon reviews that had led me to purchase this first Kavanagh ... Read More
Rating:  - Morse plays Barrister
He's just as much of a carmudgeon as Inspector Morse - but even dressed in a barrister's wig John Thaw enchants with his fine performance....
