When I last tuned in to The Archers, Walter Gabriel was still trying to re-establish contact with his estranged son, Nelson. Since then, I have moved "out of range", as my TV screen keeps reminding me. There's something going on here. But what?
Well, it appears that one of the actresses, maddened beyond endurance by the eternal sniping to which she was subjected by the actor playing the part of her husband, finally took a battering ram to him and, in full view of a carefully selected studio audience, pounded him into submission and beyond.
When the case came to trial, a nation wearied by Brexit, climate change and other disasters, but united as never before by the prospect of a hanging, switched to BBC Radio 4 which had secured the rights to the proceedings. Would she or would she not swing?
The omens were not good. The person playing the part of the judge was not known for his liberal views. Indeed, he had once been heard to remark: "Better that 99 innocent people should be hanged than that one guilty person should go free".
And the verdict...?
