Judge Dredd

Joseph Dredd is a law enforcement and judicial officer in the dystopian future city of Mega-City One, which covers most of the east coast of North America. He is a "street judge", empowered to summarily arrest, convict, sentence, and execute criminals. In Great Britain, the character of Dredd and his name are sometimes invoked in discussions of police states, authoritarianism, and the rule of law Judge Dredd is the iconic character from that comic, who now features in his full-cast audio dramas. Dredd is played by Toby Longworth in this BBC adaptation.
