Juror profile: Rose Davies A trained beautician, has put her career on hold to care for her husband Len, a 40 year-old once handsome solider, now disabled. Young, good-looking, yet neglected. Her daily appearance is plain and her clothes are modest but unflattering. Desperate for a new life, Rose uses her role as a juror to escape the mundane pattern of married life by transforming her image each day into that of a glamorous and single young woman who is quickly drawn to fellow juror Johnnie Donne. Actress Helen McCrory has appeared in previous Masterpiece Theatre titles including Anna Karenina and Lucky Jim. She says: 'Rose's change in appearance whilst on jury service is a statement not only to others but herself. She wants to be seen as a sophisticated, middle class, responsible and stronger woman and not the dowdy, low self-esteem person she has become.'
