Trial & Retribution is a feature-length ITV police procedural television drama series that first aired on 19 October 1997. Written and devised by Lynda La Plante as a follow-on from her successful television series Prime Suspect, each episode was typically broadcast over two nights. David Hayman stars as the main protagonist of the series, DCS Michael "Mike" Walker. Throughout the series, he has two main sidekicks: DI Pat North (Kate Buffery) in Series 1–6 and DCI Róisín Connor (Victoria Smurfit) in Series 7–12.
The first seven series each contained two two-hour long episodes, covering one feature-length story.{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1511543/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast|title=Trial & Retribution (1997– ) : Full Cast & Crew|website=IMDb.com|access-date=7 January 2017}} From series eight, the format was reduced to two 90-minute-long episodes. As of series ten, the format once again changed, incorporating multiple stories across one series. For the final two series, this format was retained; however, the length of the episodes was reduced to 60 minutes.{{cite web|last=Schumacher |first=Lauren |url=http://www.tv.com/shows/trial-and-retribution/ |title=Trial and Retribution – Show News, Reviews, Recaps and Photos |website=TV.com |access-date=7 January 2017}} The last episode was broadcast on 13 February 2009.

Production
Each episode makes frequent use of split screen scenes, with usually three images shown in one screen. Similar effects were frequently used in other series such as 24 and Spooks, and in later episodes of the ITV police series The Bill. The camera angles used in the split-screen configuration of Trial & Retribution tended to be used to present the situation from different perspectives, including the angle from the suspects, angle from behind and in front of the characters, angle from the crime-scene and/or angle from different sides of the town.{{cite web|url=http://www.radiotimes.com/tv-programme/rsqm/trial--retribution |title=Trial & Retribution TV Guide from |website=RadioTimes |access-date=7 January 2017}}
