Anne Robinson presents You Be the Judge

NEWS BRIEF: Paramount-owned 5 in the UK has ordered a full 4×60′ series of crime and justice social-experiment format You Be the Judge, following the launch of a one-off special fronted by Anne Robinson last year.

Robinson will return to host the programme, which invites viewers to compare jail sentences for real criminal convictions with the opinions of retired judges, former inmates and ex-cops. Produced by indie prodco Good TV (Europe’s Most Scandalous Prison) and commissioned for 5 by commissioning editor Dan Louw, the show is distributed by All3Media International.
