Is It Legal

Synopsis
From the award-winning team behind MEN BEHAVING BADLY, IS IT LEGAL? is set in the ramshackle, chaotic offices of solicitors Lotus, Spackman and Phelps. Amid the chaos of tea breaks and buns is Stella (Imelda Staunton), the snappy senior partner who is permanently poised to jump down someone's throat, Bob (Patrick Barlow) the shambolic clerk, accident-prone Colin (Richard Lumsden), bored secretary Alison (Kate Isitt) (who has the best hair) - and Darren (Matthew Ashforde), the office dogsbody, who can't help looking at a woman as a collection of sexually alluring body parts...
