Quelques infos supplémentaires sur cette adaptation de L&O :
Jamie Bamber (Lee Adama dans Galactica) a déclaré à E! qu'il allait jouer dans l'adaptation anglaise de la franchise Law & Order (New York District) : "Je vais jouer dans une série en Angleterre qui s'appelle Law & Order : Uk, et je serai un policier."
Contrairement à la version française qui elle est une adaptation de New York Section criminelle, Jamie Bamber a déclaré que cette version sera une adaptation de la série originelle, New York District, avec le même découpage entre partie policière et partie judiciaire. Il a également annoncé que la production de la série et tous les acteurs sont anglais. D'après le même Jamie Bamber, qui décidément était intarissable sur le sujet, il jouera aux côtés de Bradley Walsh (Coronation Street).

Le tournage de Law & Order: UK devrait débuter le mois prochain en vue d'une diffusion début 2009 sur ITV1.
Pour info, Freema jouerait le rôle du procureur et Bradley Walsh, serait le coéquipier de Jamie Bamber
D'après toutes les bonnes séries anglaises que je connais (MI-5, the IT Crowd...), je pense que ce sera bien mieux que PEC. Mais n'empêche que réutiliser des scénarii, je trouve ça pas cool...
j'avais pas fait attention jusque là je viens de voir que c'est la même boite de production que pour Spooks (Kudos), c'est plutôt une bonne chose, ils sont plutôt bons dans le genre eux.

et voici les résumés des premiers épisodes :
Episode one: Care
When the evacuation of a central London hospital leads to the discovery of a tragic death, DS Ronnie Brooks (Bradley Walsh) and DS Matt Devlin (Jamie Bamber) investigate. The trail leads them to Kings Cross, where the redevelopment and gentrification of the area is affecting a number of local residents. But has this led someone to commit murder? Could the seemingly vulnerable single mother Dionne Farrah (Venetia Campbell) or her sister Leona be involved? Are caretaker Daniel Matoukou (Babou Ceesay) or local resident Mike Turner (Tony Maudsley) connected to events surrounding the death? And how has the case affected landlady Maureen Walters (Lorraine Ashbourne)? As DI Natalie Chandler (Harriet Walter) pressurises Matt and Ronnie to untangle the case, a disturbing pattern emerges.
When a suspect is arrested, Crown Prosecutors James Steel (Ben Daniels) and Alesha Phillips (Freema Agyeman) face an uphill struggle convincing the head of the Crown Prosecution Service, London, George Castle (Bill Paterson) that their case is strong enough. Complicating matters further is their sharp-suited, mercury-minded opponent Robert Ridley QC (Patrick Malahide). Devious and without the burden of principles, Ridley uses every trick in the book to get his client off. With an Old Bailey trial on the verge of collapse, and pressure increasing from their boss, James and Alesha must team up with Matt and Ronnie to gain enough evidence, get the better of Robert Ridley QC and convict the person responsible for this emotionally-charged death.
Episode Two: Unloved
When a 13-year-old boy is found kicked to death at Euston Station, DS Ronnie Brooks (Bradley Walsh) and DS Matt Devlin (Jamie Bamber) have nothing to go on. Frustrated when they cant find any leads not even his parents - they turn to DI Natalie Chandler (Harriet Walter). Her press conference identifies the victim as Danny Jackson.
Matt and Ronnie discover Dannys mother, Mandy (Nicola Stephenson), is an ex-junkie whose boyfriend Stevie is suspected of physically abusing Danny. As the case begins to affect Matt and Ronnie emotionally, suspicions fall on Dannys foster home, run by Phoebe Baxter (Joanna Hole). But who is responsible for Dannys death? The parents who abandoned him, a foster mother who gave him too much freedom or the friends who were last to see him?
Crown Prosecutors James Steel (Ben Daniels) and Alesha Phillips (Freema Agyeman) face Beatrice McArdle (Dervla Kirwan) an old flame from James defence days. She believes James is prosecuting the wrong person. James suspicions of this simplistic defence prove to be well founded - Beatrice is stalling for time to gather evidence for an audacious defence strategy, that the accused was genetically predisposed towards murder; a defence that would change the whole nature of the British legal system.
As the legal system hangs by a thread, James must fight harder than ever to achieve justice for the victim, Danny Jackson, but at what cost for all concerned?
Episode Three: Vice
The body of ex-vice cop, Frank McCallum, is found beaten to death in an underpass in Paddington. The murder has all the symptoms of a prostitute killing, but DS Ronnie Brooks (Bradley Walsh) and DS Matt Devlin (Jamie Bamber) soon realise they have to broaden their search. Their investigation forces them to look deeper into Frank McCallums life could his boss, Josh Pritchard (Sean Pertwee), know more about Franks death than hes letting on. And what secrets is Franks wife, Annie, hiding? As forensic clues provide surprises, the trail leads the police to a respectable childrens clothes shop in Barnes, run by Emma Sandbrook (Juliet Aubrey) and Kate Barton (Deborah Cornelius). As the police struggle to piece together the events surrounding Frank McCallums murder, who can they believe?
Crown Prosecutors James Steel (Ben Daniels) and Alesha Phillips (Freema Agyeman) of the CPS find themselves in a battle with formidable defence barrister, Phyllis Gladstone (Lesley Manville), an old foil of their boss, George Castle (Bill Paterson). But when the accused claim they acted in self-defence against Frank McCallum, James and Alesha are left questioning the dead mans character. Did Frank McCallum instigate the attack which cost him his life, or is the defendant attempting to preserve their own fate by slurring a man now unable to defend himself? What really happened that night? James and Alesha face a struggle to deliver justice for Frank McCallums widow as they fight to establish the truth.
Episode Four: Unsafe
When a metal-detecting pensioner unearths a shallow grave by the side of the Thames, DS Ronnie Brooks (Bradley Walsh) and DS Matt Devlin (Jamie Bamber) are forced to reopen a contentious murder case. Their investigations into the case of Luke Slade (Iain Glen) threaten to unravel a conviction made by James Steel eight years ago.
After Luke Slade is given leave to appeal, Senior Crown Prosecutor James Steel (Ben Daniels) must revisit his past and one of his first cases for the CPS. But when Luke Slade represents himself in court, the case becomes more than a legal appeal it soon becomes a personal vendetta between Slade and Steel. Luke Slade has been studying law during his time in prison and hes determined not to lose to James again.
As Slade begins to get the better of James in court, Crown Prosecutor Alesha Phillips (Freema Agyeman) and Director of CPS, London, George Castle (Bill Paterson) begin to question whether James was overzealous in his initial prosecution. And when the prosecution case comes under threat, personal and professional loyalties are tested to the limit. Is Luke Slade guilty of murder? And why is he taking so much pleasure from this legal game of cat and mouse with James Steel? James career is on the line and the murders are not yet over.
