Crown Court?

I don't know how many of you remember a long-running series (I think produced by Granada TV) called Crown Court. I'm sorry but The Archers is turning into this much loved (and lamented) lunch time soap, so favoured by students, the unemployed and the housebound. On Friday night 'the jury' were sent home for the weekend - leaving Kathy (and the whole radio audience) frustrated and slightly bored. Several people I know have given up listening because of this ludicrously drawn out story line. Rather like the Diana Inquest most of us are beginning to wonder what the point is. If the BBC wanted to display rape cases more accurately surely Kathy's entire sex life would have been dragged into the open, the list of her partners and ex-husbands would have been revealed, total character assassination would have ensued and Owen's blameless character and mild manner would have been paraded for the delight of the jury. Please put an end to all our misery!
