Mr Justice Duncannon was a British sitcom that aired on BBC TV in 1963. It is a spin-off of Brothers in Law and starred Andrew Cruickshank as a London judge. The entire series was wiped and is no longer thought to exist.
In 1962, Brothers in Law - a 13-episode sitcom inspired by the 1955 comedy novel Brothers in Law by Henry Cecil - aired on BBC TV. The last episode, "Counsel for the Prosecution", featured Cruickshank play Mr Justice Duncannon and the character was given its own series the following year. Cecil co-wrote the programme.
Duncannon is a humorous Scottish judge in London. Although stern he has a humane side. He has a fondness for women and whisky.
Mr Justice Duncannon aired on Fridays, mostly at 8.50pm. Due to the archival policies of the time, all six episodes were subsequently wiped and no longer exist.
