}}Close and True is a legal drama first broadcast on ITV from 23 November to 28 December 2000, starring Robson Green and James Bolam as the eponymous characters, John Close and George True. The series follows Close (Green) as he takes over a run-down legal practice in Newcastle owned by True (Bolam), who now resides in a mental institution. During his first days in charge of the practice, he is thrown into the midst of a murder trial, despite having no previous criminal trial experience.[1]

This programme was produced by Costal Productions in association with Meridian Broadcasting for the ITV network, with just six episodes of the drama were produced, before it was axed by ITV in 2001. The series was released on VHS on 29 January 2001,[2] but has never been issued on DVD in the United Kingdom. The series was released on Region 4 DVD in Australia in 2008.[3]

John becomes involved with mismanaged legal firm Simons and True in Newcastle, run by Colin Simons. He allows John to use the firm's services for a few days leading to Steve's trial. The alleged victim is Steve's ex-wife Paula's boyfriend, David. When David later dies, the charges rise to murder. Although he confesses that he didn't do it, and evidence points to Sinclair over monetary matters, it is Steve and Paula's son, Mark, who holds the key to what really happened.LineColor=FF623B
