Scandelously bad TV - So Close to Home!

Jeffrey Archer, Micheal Portillo, Patsy Palmer, Jennifer Ellison, Megaman (of So Solid fame), Chris Tarrent’s wife, Blurs bassist and Ann Summers’ chief exec among other ‘celebs’ were all in Kingston magistrate’s court recently! Alas, not for a terrible crime you missed over Christmas. Actually, for the making of shocking new TV program, The Verdict. The drama, due to air on BBC2 next month will show a fictional rape trial involving a successful footballer and give an insight into the reality of a court case in such a controversial trial. Still, why use all minor celebrities? I don’t think it’s going to seem very believable. There seems to be a lot of filming done in Kingston; they’ve done the Bill like, four times outside where I work.
