I think Biggleswade is a brill name. Do the residents wear goggles, flying jackets, and resemble Eric Morcambe with his sticking out scarf. (Only people of a certain age will have any clue what I'm taking about.)
Verdict - the jury is made up of 'well known' people, the barristers are genuine as is the judge and the court officials. The courtroom is also genuine, the only actors are the girls accusing the footballers of rape, and the footballers. Its being filmed as a real court case, and following the lines of a genuine case. I'm not sure if its good viewing, but its certainly interesting if you've never been in a court at all, just to see how things work. The jury are filmed in their room debating the case, as a jury would, and its interesting to hear their opinions changing with each piece of evidence they get. (except Stan Collymore, who decided she was a slapper and got what she deserved, from day one). The problem is with these things, once you start watching its becomes quite adictive. Tonight and tomorrow to go.
