Episode 73 - The Advocates (Series One) (1991)

We’re getting all legal on The Swally this week as we look at the first series of The Advocates from 1991. A Scottish legal drama, broadcast on ITV, starring Ewan Stewart and Isla Blair. When a young prostitute is murdered by a deadly drug overdose, only Doctor Joe Sangster, who has been treating her at the local health clinic, suspects foul play. In the growing climate of fear over drugs and Aids in the city, his clinic faces closure due to a local campaign. Sangster turns to Greg McDowell for help, and the young lawyer sees the chance to make a name for himself.

In the news we meet a GP who was unable to give blood for a bizarre reason, find out which iconic fashion brand has issued a ban on a Scottish street, find out how people in Aberdeen will be travelling in the future and discover which Scottish band are banned from the coronation of the new King.

Oh and we debut our new game ‘Guess The Celebri-Super-T’ also known as ‘The Purple Tin Game’
