The verdict: BBC TWOs court dramatization
God – what a sham the BBC TWO court documentary The Verdict was! I think they were trying to show a real trial, but they just couldn’t seem to stop making Archer look like a perv (how many times did he say virgin?), or the judge (rubbing his glasses).
Archer wouldn’t even be allowed on a jury (Because he’s a criminal). I think Portillo is a lawyer, so wouldn’t be allowed on and I’m not sure of the legal history of Stan Collymore.
It seems like the BBC are trying to sensationalize still… If this was a real case, how come they didn’t just pick random members of the public like the similar Channel 4 documentary last week.
The only good thing about this program was that Stan Collymore seemed to come across as the most normal person on the jury!
