Don't believe everything that he says...Memento Mori… (First screened in the UK television on 17th March 1998, writer Russell Lewis.) Kavanagh is back in chambers after the death of his wife. In this case, Kavanagh is defending a mild-mannered doctor (Tom Courtenay) accused of murdering his wife.
Although the prosecution has several witnesses who provide evidence, the accused maintains his innocence, claiming that the drug he described was simply to treat her manic depression. After the verdict, however, Kavanagh learns of an ironic twist.

It’s great to see John’s very dear friend Tom making a breathtaking appearance in this story, and he’s terrific. Tom as Dr. Felix Crawley is amazing, his court room scenes are electrifying and he sure is one of the best guest stars the series ever had.
The funeral of Lizzie was very moving, loved how Peter laid his hand on James’s shoulder to let him know he was there for him, and then seeing James doing the housework and being so bored at home, I really felt for him, knowing he should be at work where he’d be happier.
Finding Emma in his office, James was rather astounded can’t say I blame him, loved the scene when Emma give her concert recital and James and his kids were there, loved the song!
Kate with her father on the stairs because of missing her mum, and then at breakfast saying she was supposed to be there for him, I thought was rather touching.

Usually Jeremy is a clown most of the time in this series, but not this time, he’s very serious in court and skilful at questioning Dr. Felix Crawley getting him angry enough to convict himself.

One of my very favorites. Seeing John and his dear friend, Tom Courtenay together was a joy in it's self. In my opinion this is Tom C's greatest role. He is riveting; he made my blood run cold. John played it with understated emotion and never once infringed on Tom's bold performance like some stars would have done. John, always the consummate professional. This one gets a 10 in my book.
YOu make some very good points Lolly about the way the two performances interact. I'm sure their experiences of acting together at RADA came back to them in this episode of Kavanagh.
Quite scary in the end and well acted, how 'Creepy' Crawley confesed with pride all the murders he'd committed.
