Wing and a Prayer is a BAFTA-nominated[1] British television legal drama series, written and created by Matthew Hall, first broadcast on Channel 5 on 22 September 1997.[2] The series, produced by Thames Television, was described as "an inside, behind-the-scenes look at the practice of law, and the lawyers whose lives are caught up in their work with each other". Sean Arnold starred as primary character Stephen Arlington, while Rita Wolf, David Bark-Jones, Philip Martin Brown and George Irving are also credited amongst the principal cast members.[3]
A review of the series on AllMovie stated; "in the fine tradition of such American weeklies as L.A. Law and The Practice, the attorneys herein played as hard as they worked, with sexual intrigues and one-upsmanship abounding."[4] The first series was released on DVD in Australia on 5 June 2013.[5]
