Will this thread see the end of The Trial? And SOC?

At this rate Tom will be thrown out. Do shut up.

I'm not enjoying these asides from Tony and Tom. Can't cope with people talking over each other on the radio.

Haha! Here we go

ohhh that man! I'll kill him myself!

Oh I do like the detail about the reflection in the saucepan.

Quite the actor

Grrrr Rob. Pratt.

Jabbing and lashing out though? Is he exaggerating abs could a doctor pick up on that.

If Anna fucks up here I will be fuming.

Yes! Snap again please Rob.

Ooohhhhh go Anna!

He's riled already. That's interesting

Arsehole.

FFS bring on the tears. Uber manipulator.

Good start. Go Anna, he didn't cope well there did he?

Trouble is a jury are ripe for manipulation aren't they ?

She will spend more time on him surely?

Hmm. Is it Helen who's possibly suffering from MH problems?

She's rattled him.

ironic how easily he 'breaks down' given his comments to Ian

I hate that it's timeslipped into the future - how can we know what hasn't happened yet? (a step too far, says my suspension of belief facility).

Anna sounded too ranty to me. It sounded like my own ranting tone, which I have worked hard to reduce to it less irritating and more detached. But perhaps she had to use that sort of tone, to get Rob to respond in a Knobbish way?

Seriously, why wouldn't Tom STFU?
Impressed with Anna, not as flakey as we thought.

This was better than I dared hope. So glad Rob admitted he hit her even if he did call it a slap. He's already beginning to sound like a deranged bully.

Can't wait for Ian now.

So far so predictable I reckon. I hope the walking stick gets rumbled - surely that will be at odds with his CAFCASS or MARAC or whatever they were statements about how he could cope with both kids. Maybe Henry will be the one who lets slip that Rob has spent all Summer playing cricket, if good old Ian then mentions that Rob was an insufferable bullying prick at coaching then that will start to sow seeds that he's a devious manipulative bastard...

The re- imagining of Tuna Bake was an absolute master stroke. I'm hoping Anna has a strategy. Agree Tony/Tom was a distraction. They've been fairly useless up to this point, and I'm not sure that's going to change.

My mum reckons that Knob is going to bumped off before the end of the trial by a rogue cricket ball and they will never find out who bowled it. I like her idea and would especially like it be Henry's throw, as perfected by hours of practice with Knob, that does the job!

Ian is a character witness for Helen, so is he going to be asked about Rob at all?
