Six Days of Justice is a British television drama anthology series of single plays created by Thames Television and shown on ITV from 1972 to 1975, over four seasons of six episodes apiece.
As suggested by the series title, each series of Six Days of Justice is made up of six separate plays, set in and around a courtroom and the corridor and waiting area outside. Focusing on magistrate and children's courts rather than the High Court, the series was praised for its naturalistic setting, lack of melodrama and low-key approach to small-time crime. [2] [3]
