Crown Court ran for a total of 879 episodes from 1972 to 1984 and always seemed a fixture of my full of cold/bit of a headache/tummy ache (delete as applicable) days off school. Surely that was never traumatic? Well, 1973's case "Destruct, Destruct" would beg to differ. Here's the start of the first episode which shows a children's game going horrifically wrong. File under "would not be shown now" and definitely not at 1:30 in the afternoon. | Scarred For Life

 'Crown Court' Friday 19 January 1973 -- ITV: 13:30 Fitton v. Pusey Maj. Alastair Fitton is suing Harold Pusey for Libel over a passage he wrote in the book Sunset of Arms. Is Fitton a coward or a hero ? Today the jury must decide whose version of events which took place on Hill329, in Korea, is correct. Barry Jackson is seen here as William Truscott. #CrownCourt | Bernie Briffa | Facebook
