BBC Jimmy McGovern's TIME Series 2
Legal Consultant
‘Jeanette’s work is always thorough and clear, and she is extremely easy to work with. Perhaps more importantly is that she understands narrative. Anyone can provide facts with their research but not anyone can use those facts in pursuit of the story.’
Helen Black – Writer & BAFTA and RTS winner.

‘Jeanette has been a massive asset to us through both prep and production. During prep she was instrumental in providing advice on scenes and storylines which needed a legal eye including spotting storyline challenges and offering solutions. During production Jeanette efficiently responded to questions which arose, advised prop and costumes departments and also attended and helped out on set during filming. Jeanette is knowledgeable, reliable, and has great attention to detail. Jeanette is a fantastic consultant who I would highly recommend, she goes above and beyond to serve the story and ensure authenticity and accuracy throughout. On future projects which require legal advice or input Jeanette will be the first person I reach out to’
Joe Griffith – Script Editor, BBC Drama ‘Time’ Series 2.
ITV - Playing Nice
Legal Consultant
“We are currently working on a new ITV drama, which features multiple episodes in a court room .
To ensure that our script was accurate, we spoke with Jeanette at TV Crime Consulting. Jeanette was very responsive and came back quickly with her notes after reading the scripts, and gave her advice on changes we could make.
Jeanette understands how our industry works, and gave sound advice that would minimally impact us shooting but still stayed true in a legal perspective. We will be using TV Crime Consulting again.”

BBC - The Gold Series 2
Legal Consultant
Jeanette advised our period courtroom scenes on The Gold S2. I cannot tell you how grateful we were to have Jeanette – she was absolutely brilliant, so professional, clear and concise, and totally understood the filming parameters – everyone from makeup, costume, to Pat the Director were singing her praises. Jeanette’s expert knowledge on all areas of the court protocol - from costume, hair and makeup, to the script and ADs, was a total asset to our production and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

ITV - A Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story
Legal Consultant
With major scenes in A CRUEL LOVE set in both a magistrate’s court and the Old Bailey Jeanette’s advice was much needed. As well as being reliable and efficient she was a pleasure to work with and her presence on set was welcomed. I hope we will have the opportunity to work together again.

ITV - Grace
Legal Consultant
Jeanette consulted on an episode of ITV's 'GRACE' Series 5, in which an element of the drama played out in a courtroom. Her knowledge, insights and meticulous notes were invaluable to us in bringing the episode to life accurately and she had a real understanding of balancing procedure and accuracy with the needs of the story. Jeanette assisted us in the Script Department throughout prep and production, providing detailed notes on story outlines and script drafts, as well as helping other departments, such as Costume and Art, and advising the Director on the look, feel and layout of the courtroom set. She also attended set on relevant days during filming, where her presence was really valued. Jeanette is incredibly adept at offering creative solutions, is flexible when it comes to solving problems in a way that serves the story, has a great eye for detail, and a brilliant depth of knowledge and expertise, not only in the legal world but also procedurally from a police perspective. She responded promptly and comprehensively to every query and always made time to jump on video calls where more in depth advice was needed. Most importantly, she has a real understanding of the industry and the production process, which makes working with her incredibly easy and we would have no hesitation in working with Jeanette again.

BBC Studios Death Valley Series 2
Police & Legal Consultant
A HUGE thank you from both of us for your amazing work on Death Valley.
We, of course, plan to kidnap you (legally, of course) and take you wherever the next role turns out to be. You've been exceptionally quick to respond to all queries and give fascinating insights to help us give our show that unique spin. Your hard work and endless patience with us as we navigate the storms of television production are greatly appreciated.'

Just a thank you note from all of us for your fabulous notes and wonderful insights, as always. It was so useful, and I think Paul has been so reassured by your kind words on the script because it has been a tough nut to crack with the structure and formatting of the show. Plus, while we can take artistic licence, we want to make sure we're being accurate.
Paul was talking about how impressive you are and how beneficial you have been. Your thoughts were so helpful, and I was sad to end because frankly, I could listen to you talk all day.
