Maya bumped into Judge Tayler at an event, and asked him who would he like to play him in the film.

I can't remember what she said his answer was, but i would love to have been a fly on the wall to see the expression on his face.

Morning everyone. Calendar full of meetings today so will be dipping in and out. shame as the witnesses could shed a lot of light today.

@LarkLane Thanks, but it really is not that hard. 😀

I think a slightly younger Miriam Margolyes, I don't really look like her, but the outspokenness and swearing are the same and I think she is great.

I don't know about TT though.

Morning! Or is it now afternoon? Bloomin' delays play havoc with my schedule.

TT reporting an 11 am start.

11am start due to traffic apparently.

So much for the judges comment on day one that she expected everyone to be there in person, a punctual start and no excuses for train strikes!

Filing it in the bin along with the late lamented timetable!

Checking in under my newish user name. My pronouns are total/bollocks and today I am identifying as a grown up. Been following for a few days, thanks for everyone commentating on proceedings.

I'm in! 😳

Oh, so am I. Wondering if the clerk is going to speak to us again like she did the other day.

EDIT: no we’re out again. Oh well.

Morning all, I see I've missed nothing. Has it started on time at all this week?

There was a lady with a lovely Harp behind her in the room. I think she should play during the interludes for us all waiting in the lobby, it would be better than WFTCHTJ

I'm nervous about that. I get a bit embarrassed if I'm on screen.

I was in but now I'm out again.

Back to the lobby with you!

At least we all got to see that there are a lot of us!

We are all being kicked out, it seems.

How are you doing @RocketPanda, been missing you.

36 of us not connected to the court were (briefly!) in.

Oh oh, the okey cokey 🎶

put your left views out ,put your left views in turn it all around and now you've got right view's 😁

Morning everyone and thanks for the updates. @RocketPanda how are you? Still Terfy we see. A Good Thing Too.

When briefly admitted I saw both Maya Forstater and Akua Reindorf in the guests. Which cheered me immensely.

Still waiting to join.
