Hit TV series Blue Lights bosses turned to a trainee solicitor to help them create a sensitive storyline they knew could deeply affect countless viewers of the show.
"There’s a mad irony in that the Happy character, in real life now wouldn’t be able to have his case resolved because of the British Government’s Legacy Act.
