    I never really followed this story in depth at the time but I found it hard to believe they would be found guilty if the tv programme accurately reflects what happened in court.
    Apparently it was set up and filmed to make it strongly weighted in the defence view.

    I can see why people would think they were innocent.
    Basically only showed the defence, as well as scenes between the Ingrams where it was shown him asking her if she knew anything etc.

    When in real life I'd be very sure those conversations were more along "Oh, f**k, they know!  What do we say?" lines.

    Also David Frost .. tricky, because as a tv/film actor he is more like a Mike Yarwood, a brilliant impersonator, and he plays those roles superbly. Be nice to see him not necessarily playing himself, but playing a fictitious person rather than a 'real' one .. I am sure he has played many other roles, but I have not seen one .. I hope to see more of him soon
    He was good in Passengers, playing the half man half robot barman.

    Also very good in the recent-ish version of Far From the Madding Crowd.

    Watched it last night.

    Enjoyable and we'll acted.

    It's a TV show so it needs tension and drama hence the ambiguity over their guilt.

    They were bang to rights.

    Of course they are "preparing" to appeal.   As long as they carry on "preparing" they make it seem like there is any doubt and more importantly can sell their notoriety.

    I was also thinking that this is one hell of a team. Then I realised why - he has 13 players!

    Edit - I can't count!

    I’ll go 50/50
    Frying eggs or Snowboarding 
    <two coughs>

    Final answer: snowboarding

    Frying eggs would have been a great answer but the answer is snowboarding.

    Zoe Sadowski-Sinnott is a 20 year old from Wanaka and had been working on the move for several months before taking it to the X Games in Aspen where it earned her a second gold medal.

    In a weeks time she will be on the way to China for the Winter Olympics.

    I can be found in prison but I never appear in court, unless there’s more than one.  What am I?

    here's an interesting, for me anyhow, non sporting quiz from Auntie BB .. The mind-boggling time quiz - BBC Bitesize

    Blackheathen Posts: 6,668
    There are the inevitable quiz questions in publications struggling to fill their pages over New Year.  One quite interesting one:

    There are 20 clubs in football’s English Premier League.  What percentage of the almost 600 players in their combined squads are English/England-qualified?

    a). 15
    b). 35
    c). 55
    d). 75
    e). 95

    I'd go with C as a guess 🤷‍♂️

    I’m reading a book about the histories of “how sport made Britain” and in the section on tennis comes:

    ”In 1934, Gladys Baldwin, a shorthand typist at Lever Brothers, met an ambitious teenager at Sunlight Tennis Club who promised to marry her.  After a courtship of six hears, the teenager had become an Oxford don, and the wedding was celebrated at Mansfield College.  The Don was …………………  who had only joined the club to approach his future wife, with what his biographer calls “his gift for finding a strategic route to a particular objective”.

    Britain’s first technocratic prime minister knew in the 1930s that tennis clubs were still the place for nice couples to find each other.  Gladys published two volumes of poetry and became a good friend of John Betzeman.”

    The question is -

    Who was the Prime Minister”

    I'm guessing Atlee.  Funnily enough I'll be driving past Port Sunlight later today, maybe I should stop by and try my luck.  Although Mrs Redlane might object...
