1o Lawyers will spend a day at Barton Cottage, and they will be asked to find a solution for different challenges facing the World today.
“10 lawyers save the World” is the latest show from Legal TV
This revolutionary show comes at a time of heightened debate about the problems facing the World � Lawyers are seen as problem solvers and are amongst the most highly regarded in our society, now Legal TV puts them to the test, can they save the planet?
Some People say the quickest way to get yourself disliked is to become a lawyer. If you want people to dislike you become a lawyer, why? Because lawyers don’t solve anything they make money by prolonging problems. This series will dispel this myth and reveal how lawyers are really problem solvers and show their positive influences upon society.
Law professor Ann Althouse recently observed that lawyers are the only people about whom it's considered socially acceptable to joke, "People like you should all be dead." Most of us in polite society wouldn't feel comfortable saying that to a gay man, or a black person. But telling a lawyer to his face the old joke about 10,000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean being "a good start" is perfectly okay.
Legal TV believes Lawyers play an important positive role in our society, and now seeks to readdress the balance with its new reality show.
The most pressing issue of climate change will be the first challenge for the group of lawyers, and they will be expected to agree a strategy to deal with this international issue.
Ten Lawyers will be carefully selected to represent a broad range of skills and personalities, just as society is varied so is the legal profession, high street legal aid lawyers will work together with City lawyers and pool their skills to offer solutions to the worlds most pressing problems.
Legal TV is the UK’s first TV Station dedicated to all things legal including entertainment and information. We now bring this ground breaking show to show the public the human side of lawyers and counter the negative image of solicitors and barristers often portrayed in the media
Producer Dean Heeley “This show will be a revelation for all in the UK, lawyers often get a bad press but we will show their positive side and why society cannot function without them, and who knows maybe they will really save the world!” � Barton Cottage is a luxury cottage set in the exclusive Four Oaks area of Sutton Coldfield and will be the setting for the new show. The ten lawyers will spend a day at Barton cottage and we will see how they interact and deal with the crisis situations put to them with the fate of the world depending upon them.
The show will feature real life current issues and some fictional world crisis’s to put the lawyers through their paces and see if they can deal with the time pressures and provide a practical solution saving the Planet.
Production Manager Vijay Gulwani said “Legal TV is seeking lawyers who would like to appear in this new show and not only gain fame but also prove to all that lawyers can really make a positive impact on society” lawyers are encouraged to email dean@legaltv.co.uk

Programme Brief
“10 Lawyers save the World”
The Idea
The aim of this programme is to provide huge entertainment and interest by filming a group of lawyers working together to find a solution to a world threatening crisis. We want to see the exchange of views, differences of opinion and the eventual culmination into a strategy. A group of lawyers will be presented by a crisis affecting the world and will spend 6 hours at Barton Cottage in an effort to formulate a response and strategy to deal with this crisis.
Outline of the show:
This programme is a study of the lawyer individual, groups under pressure and human nature, characterised by observation and the quasi-invisibility of the recording team. The recording team would consist of seven camera-man, three sound engineers, one director and two producers plus runners and engineers. The crew will work as unobtrusively as possible; participants would be filmed throughout their time in Barton Cottage and will be asked to ignore the cameras and crew, an off-camera voice will provide commentary. A videos diary room will be available for any lawyers wishing to comment on other participants or on the progress being made.
Protocol
All contestants will be confined to Barton Cottage for the duration of the shoot and there will no re-takes and no interruption to shooting.
