http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-37197247

God help anyone who phones me at 19:02 on Sunday !

[agchristie]

I didn't think it would be a problem for you Mikey being on the jury!

[bookbinder]

Erm - what did you say your phone number was, mikey? I seem to have mislaid it.

Never mind the bleedin' Archers, where are all the Mrs. Dale's Diary threads?

[frugalfred]

Yea, and where's PC49?

[mikey4444]

Jack....My Mum used to listen to Mrs Dales Diary....." I'm a bit worried about Jim, you know "

[frugalfred]

Jim's having a pint with Dick Barton, Special Agent.

[frugalfred]

Can I do you now, Mr. Mikey?

[hellywelly4]

Well that was a surprise! Not the last bit, I mean Anna and Max. Do hope Anna doesn't go to pieces and let Helen down.

[mikey4444]

Yes....a bit of a surprise for me as well !

[jourdain2]

Missed it - will do catch-up (thanks again, mikey). There is no way I am missing any episode this week! Splendid Isolation will have nothing on this home's radio politics!!

Are we going to speculate on the outcome of the trial to see who gets closest? I think that Henry's evidence will be crucial, we don't know what he said, and hopefully Anna can get Rob to lose his temper in court. I think she'll get a suspended sentence on the wounding charge.

[LennyDipp]

The BBC have released a media pack for the upcoming trial. Anything you read in the newspapers in the next few days is basically lifted directly from that. It also has some interesting stuff about what will be in the trial. No actual spoilers, just confirming what the trial will consist of.

[mikey4444]

Thanks Lenny....never heard of these media packs before !

[bookbinder]

zebo; my bit of speculation is this: Henry will say something crucial to his nanny (Charlotte), and that will be brought out in court. Also, and in addition thereto, Rob will reveal his true nature to Charlotte, via a flash of temper or something along those lines. Charlotte will turn out to be a kind of involuntary fifth columnist, by seeing and hearing things that Rob would prefer to be kept quiet, and Anna will welcome her with open arms.

[zebo]

Has Charlotte even started working for him yet, the trial starts next week?

[bookbinder]

Hm. I might have got a bit ahead of myself as regards Charlotte, I think.

[hellywelly4]

Good old Caz! Tell her straight!

[jourdain2]

How about Henwee repeats Rob's instructions dutifully and then says, 'but Mummy was really nice to me and I wish she'd come home'. The scales fall from Helen's eyes and she tells the truth at last. She is acquitted, but is so sick of men that she falls for Anna?

[hellywelly4]

Good one jourdain!
