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.

Pat IS annoying. She used to be much feistier and on the ball. The character has changed quite a lot.
Tony has been so level-headed in all this - seems Pat has been made a counterfoil to that? |

I wonder if Ian will reveal Rob's attempt to split him and Adam up when he gives his evidence? And his homophobia?
His testimony might well be quite revealing. |

Tonight's episode was brilliant - when Helen broke down at the end, I had tears coming down my cheek.
I've really enjoyed the week so far. Gripping. |

His testimony might well be quite revealing. Also what is Henry going to say? I think he will say he saw Rob put the knife in Helen's hand etc. + all the indoctrination. If he says in the video suite "Daddy says I've got to say how mummy was nasty. Daddy says if I say that to you, mummy will get better and come home", Rob is screwed

Do you think it was to make a discernible difference between Pat and Tony?

Oh yeah - had forgotten about that! I'm hoping Ian will rile Rob enough into losing his rag completely.
He'll be devastated when he gets chucked out of the cricket club for being an evil psycho bastard. |

Perhaps, but I think it started well before this. Maybe even back as far as the breakdown she had after John died.
Why was she so apologetic to Arsula? That really made me shriek at the radio. That old hag is pure evil. |

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

I've really not been a fan of this story since Rob got stabbed and Helen got jailed. I've found it all so unbelievable and highly irritating and the court case just seemed to be the pinnacle of this annoying story line what with all the characters talking in court constantly and Kirsty's ridiculous attempt to sway the court with her outburst and Pat's over the top hysterics every other second.

I've really enjoyed the week so far. Gripping. Well done Archers for that and I think it would be totally believable now if Helen was found not guilty of attempted murder so I'm very pleased with that. |

Yes, I wanted her to shut up so I could hear what Helen was saying. I don't care about each family's predictable reactions.

Yep agree. It doesn't really work. I get they are trying to make it an event for all the characters but the narrative eruption is all surrounding the counsel and whoever is being questioned!
