The Verdict.

For fear of looking really stupid, can somebody answer a question for me.

What has happened to this program tonight. Did I miss something. I thought they said it was for four nights at 9pm. Tonight I put BBC 2 on at 9 and it was some party girls thing. I check the text and it says The verdict 9.50. So I put it on at 9.55 coz I lost track of time and at 10 it finishes???????????

There is some repeat of highlights later on BBC 2 but they made some brief mention of tomorrow night. WHAT. Why tomorrow night, or is it tonight. Does anyone know?

I realise that I am probably the only one interested in it but I've watched it for three nights and the last is obviously the most important so am I being thick or what?

The final part is - and always has been - scheduled for tomorrow night.


Tonight's brief episodes are just a catch up.

Thanks for the answer Brekie.

What a rip, don't you think? What is the point in anyone watching closely to see things they've already seen.

I felt the same over Castaways years ago. Continuety and routine are everything, we all have lives and these things either fit in with our lives or not.

I'm sacking it.

I thought there were other people mislead into thinking this was a four night 90 min each show.

It started on Sunday night so this would be the fourth night wouldn't it?

There has been no change of plan, are you incapable of reading a listings magazine ?

From what I understood they always billed it as over four nights. Why would I need to corroborate what they were saying on the trailers? And I obviously wasn't the only one.

Yes, four nights. Not four consecutive nights ?

You made an assumption, it proved to be incorrect, you can see the final episode tomorrow. Nobody died.

They never said it be over consecutive nights though, even if it's been implicated.

Surely they said at the end of Tuesday's episode too the case would continue on Thursday.


And it can't be that good if you're willing to "sack" it because you have to wait an extra 24 hours!


P.S. Anyone know what the verdict was in Consent?

Of course I thought it was consecutive nights. Why wouldn't I? Three nights consecutive and then a break?

Why are you guys so aggressive? I asked a question for goodness sake. Pardon me for posting.

Apart from anything else a jury wouldn't begger off for a day or two. The whole purpose of it is to feel the closest to a jury experience that we can and how we all judge each other in every day life.

I do think that rape was a bad subject though.

And I'll add to why I was disappointed by the program billing. I was getting quite heated because it was demonstrating how judgemental we all are.

I didn't see any evidence presented to prove guilt. The jurors were starting to enter the realms of fantasy and I wanted this to be a big ratings program so that loads of people got to see how judgemental we all are. It's all actors but it demonstrates how easily we all draw conclusions about each other without really thinking about the consequenses of being so horrible.

Mind you being judgemental isn't a criminal offence.

Jury's are often discharged for a couple of days.

Agree rape was a bad subject - I'm sure we'll end up with the politically correct response.

That's why I want to know how the Consent case went!
