Have you told his missus?

Don't worry Helen- you've got the Guardian behind you:

‘When you do the coaching for the cricket team, do you use a stick? Or, ‘When you were interviewed for your new job, did you go in with a stick?’


Teehee...


Oohh- and LakieLady- was this the barrister you were seated with at the wedding...?

Oh shut up Peggy

Ursula deserves cancer.

Oh get a grip Pat.

Pat SHUT UP SHUT UP. YOU're derailing this you idiot.

Helen is being a star here

Well done Helen!!! You did it you did it!

Die you lowlife rapist scumbag shite

I half expected the prosecutor to object.

Wow, what an episode. I need wine, lots of wine...

I need weapons grade vallium.

So who was the dramatic late arrival at the court? I couldn't recognise her voice. (mixture of cloth ears and the voice recognition skills of a goldfish) Was it Jess?

I don't know! Eeeeek!! Im assuming it was no-one to do with the helpline??
It must be Jess pleeaaase!

Would that be allowed? Jess hasn't been disclosed to the Prosecution. Oh but wouldn't it be marvellous Imagine Rob kicking off..hehe...more wine, more wine..

Exactly the word I was going to use!

She did really, really well. I felt proud of her, as though she was a friend.

I get that you're getting caught up in the drama but maybe kind of insensitive?

We all know cancer isn't about 'deserving' or ' not deserving'.

I'm praying for it to be Jess. Which is a big stretch for an atheist.

Rob will be so shocked his bag will explode.

Me too and I feel awful for being so impatient and irritated with her
This is clearly a huge deal and that was superbly depicted.
Anna pitched things right.

Don't stumble on the way out of your pulpit!

I'm rather surprised that they're not dragging this out longer. I had quite expected the trial to last 2 weeks at least.

It would be delicious! Perhaps pushing the artistic licence too far??

I don't know! I'm still buzzing after that. Really hope it is Jess though

Whatever. Maybe it hasn't happened to someone you care enough about yet. 1 in 3 chance and all that.

Perhaps they'd see it as too arduous? We're already living on our nerves!

Much as I hate Arsula, the actress playing her is very good. She does the honeyed voice dripping poison really well.

And Peggy really needs a kick up her wrinkly old arse.

Am I the only one who finds Pat's wittering through the courtroom scenes adds nothing to the storytelling or characterisation and detracts from the drama? Right up there with someone talking through a film at the cinema. I get that the scriptwriters don't want each scene to be a ping-pong two-hander witness-lawyer thing, but DAMN it was annoying.
