 A court case in the crown court of the fictional town of Fulchester (a name later adopted by Viz) would typically be played out over three afternoons in 25-minute episodes.The most frequent format was for the prosecution case to be presented in the first two episodes and the defence in the third, although there were some later, brief variations.Unlike some other legal dramas, the cases in "Crown Court" were presented from a relatively neutral point of view and the action was confined to the courtroom itself, with occasional brief glimpses of waiting areas outside the courtroom.
