Episode 13 - Lake Placid

In 1999, David E Kelley, the star writer who had brought the world (at that time) Picket Fences, Chicago Hope, The Practice and Ally McBeal, said - "I can do more than write TV shows about quirky lawyers and doctors... I can write movies about quirky cops, quirky palaeontologists and giant (presumably quirky) crocodiles."

And so he did, bringing Bridget Fonda, Bill Pullman, Oliver Platt and Brendan Gleeson along for the ride. Even Betty White dropped in.

But could he replicate his TV magic touch in the cinema, in a genre he had not previously written (and does not appear to have attempted since)?

Tim and Andrew found out the hard way.
