Based on the BBC1 series Silk, the radio series tells of the adventure and mishap in the Clerks' Room at the Shoe Lane chambers.
As a junior clerk in a male-dominated clerks' room, Bethany doesn't need reminding that her dream to become a barrister should remain a closely-held secret. But when she finds herself in hot water after unknowingly giving a must-win case to a pitifully under-performing barrister, her passion for the law comes into its own.
BBC1's Silk created by Peter Moffat
Executive producer: Hilary Salmon
