PgDL possible with degree from 2010

Hello everyone. I've been scouring this forum for a couple of hours now and am therefore a bit embarrassed to post due to my query. However, for the most part this does seem like a safe space, so here goes:

I graduated from UEA back in 2010 with a Ba (Hons) in Film & Media. My result was a 2:2

Do I have any hope of getting on a PgDL course? And later some kind of SQE prep course before sitting the SQE1 & SQE2 exams?

I'm 36 and after 10 years of living in Dubai (and an upcoming divorce!) I wish to relocate back to the UK permanently and start on the road to becoming a solicitor.

It's something I've always had an interest in, and despite not having worked properly in the field, I did take 2 of my past employers to court here in Dubai as a self-represented litigant (and won both times!) so at the very least I feel as if I do have a little bit of a knack for it.

Please be kind as I know my degree subject, result, and age might not be the best launching pad, but I still wish to know if I have a chance of changing my life.

Thank you!
