I love 'Silk'

[vickibee]

Well done Beeb, A fab mini series - shame there are only six episodes
Does anyione else like it?

Martha is a real role model to aspire to, intelligant attractive and assertive. Wish I could be like her

I'm with you. I thought she was a bit one-dimensional to begin with but I've grown to love her character.
She's emotionally involved with her cases but isn't a cliche 'weak woman'. Ultimately she's professional and gets on with her job but hasn't lost her humanity or become a ruthless bitch.
VERY annoyed by her pupil's comments on what constitutes rape though. That case was awful. Am I right in thinking Martha was either raped herself or had someone close to her who was?

And who's the baby's father???

The baby's father is Clive Reader (revealed last nite) It was a one nite stand, he was shocked at first but was glad ti support Martha and the baby.

Her pupil is male so he is bound to have a different POV to a female. That case was her word against his and it is down to who the jury believed. Martha defended the accused but beleieved he had raped the woman

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Sky+ed it last night I guess I was rhetorically questioning- I didn't think it was going to be resolved. I thought it was actually quite an interesting plot twist never to find out.

I know her pupil had a different point of view but I thought he was very callous when he effectively suggested that everyone has at one time or another been in a position where the woman might not be 100% consenting and that was normal in his eyes.
He was a bit dismissive of the no means no argument which I thought was shocking for someone his age.
