Rafferty's Rules(1987)

Rafferty's Rules is an Australian drama series that aired on the Seven Network from 1987 to 1990. The courtroom-focused show was among the network's first in-house drama productions, beginning development in 1985. Originally conceived as a 15-part legal drama, the series went through casting changes during its pilot phase. Chris Haywood initially led the 1984 pilot, but when the episode was remounted later that year, John Wood took over the lead role. Wood's version became the series premiere when Rafferty's Rules launched nationally. The show ran for three seasons, establishing itself as a significant entry in Australian television drama during the late 1980s.
