We The Jury is a comedy about jury duty, something William has dreamt of doing his whole life.

He's always known he was destined to be a juror but he never imagined that when the day finally came he'd land the mother of all jury gigs - an actual murder trial. The jury are a mismatched collection of enthusiastic fools, inconsiderate bullies and self-obsessed weirdos, constantly getting distracted from the case. Add in a demob-happy judge in her final trial and this has all the ingredients of a disaster.
