Reality bites: Legal TV, Sky satellite channel 186, has - somewhere in its offices in Aston - a bucketful of, shall we say, inspired ideas that it brings out when news agendas are struggling, but its latest is either inspired or insane. Or perhaps both, because it now seems reality TV is coming to the world of law with the proposal for a 'revolutionary' show, in which ten lawyers have to, wait for it, 'save the world'. Yes, 'Ten Lawyers Save the World' is to be a series in which ten lawyers are put in a cottage for 12 hours and set a 'big issue' question to solve, and filmed in the process. Legal TV claims it will put 'high street legal aid lawyers' with City lawyers to solve the problems, which at least may or may not demonstrate to the legal chattering classes that these two groups can co-exist for 12 hours without comparing salaries. The first subject is global warming, though, and if Obiter were looking for real solutions on the subject it might include a couple of scientists in the cottage. Lawyers might need a makeover to the general public, as Legal TV is fond of saying, but a group of worthy lawyers going on about global warming to a cable audience that is mo re interested in suing their councils for broken pavements may not be quite the way to do it.
