The Jury S2 - Channel 4

[Slow.Patrol]

Anyone else watching?

I really enjoyed the first series.

[bad company]

Never watched before but giving it a try.

S1 was based on my wife's cousin Angela.

I'm finding it a bit annoying as I am sure when I did jury service we were discouraged from discussing the case with other jurors until after all the evidence had been heard.

But I guess the program makers want to demonstrate how people's opinions change.

Wow. That must have been really hard for you. Did you know in advance that C4 were making the program?

[andrewcliffe]

Angela's father and my wife's father were siblings but didn't really get on, so that side of the family and my side rarely had much to do with each other apart from the most sombre family functions, usually funerals. I don't think we were asked, nor do I think we should have been, it was only when it was televised and although names, location and the exact manner of the incident were changed, it was sufficiently close to home to recognise which case it was.
