It will appeal to everyone who fell in love with the TV series, back in the 1990s. I predict that it will gain a huge following. The Jane that we know and love was very much there. I enjoyed seeing Jane’s ability shining through in her early policing. Jane gets to see her first post mortem and I was willing her to tough it out.
I loved seeing Jane over a period of time, getting involved with two cases and developing friendships. They are traditional and Jane is her own woman. I always felt that Jane never had a great deal in common with them. It was good to see Jane’s relationship with her dreadful family at this stage. Kath and Jane are pioneers in a harsh environment. Jane finds a mentor in fellow officer, Kath to help her deal with it all. Female officers are treated as second class citizens, with childish pranks and sexual harassment the norm. This was a time when the role of women was changing and those challenging the stereotype had it extremely tough. I loved the setting of 1973 London, with the music references and the explicit political incorrectness of the era. Jane’s intelligence and ability is noticed by her boss, who allows her to be involved in a murder investigation. She is at the start of her career and learning the ropes in Hackney. Jane Tennison is a probationer with the Metropolitan Police in London. Tennison is a prequel and an opportunity to see a young Jane for the first time. We all know what happened to Jane’s career from the 1990s, when she pursues George Marlow with determination, to her death. Lynda La Plante gave us an unforgettable and dynamic character in Jane Tennison. I will never forget my introduction to Jane back in 1991 and how it shaped my love of dark crime drama and strong female characters. I was jumping for joy, when Lynda La Plante announced she was resurrecting Jane Tennison.
CLO 3D LYNDA TRIAL
Two additions to the Trial and Retribution miniseries were broadcast during 2006.
CLO 3D LYNDA SERIES
Her output continued with The Governor (ITV 1995-96), a series focusing on the female governor of a high security prison, and was followed by a string of ratings pulling miniseries: the psycho killer nightmare events of Trial & Retribution (ITV 1997-), the widows' revenge of the murders of their husbands & children Bella Mafia (1997) (starring Vanessa Redgrave), the undercover police unit operations of Supply and Demand (ITV 1998), videogame/internet murder mystery Killer Net (Channel 4 1998) and the female criminal profiler cases of Mind Games (ITV 2001). La Plante divorced Lynda in the early 1990s. The name "La Plante" comes from her marriage to writer Richard La Plante, author of the book Mantis and Hog Fever. She formed her own television production company, La Plante Productions, in 1994 and as La Plante Productions she wrote and produced the sequel to Widows, the equally gutsy She's Out (ITV, 1995).

In 1992 she wrote at TV movie called Seekers, starring Brenda Fricker and Josette Simon, produced by Sarah Lawson.

In 1991 ITV released Prime Suspect which has now run to seven series and stars Helen Mirren as DCI Jane Tennison. Her first TV series as a scriptwriter was the six part robbery series Widows, in 1983, in which the widows of four armed robbers carry out a heist planned by their deceased husbands.
