It wasn’t ideal when trying to save yourself from the gallows. In truth, I would do the same again.” This was an excellent TED talk on morality and self-belief. Or you will not live to see the sun rise tomorrow.” (More weeping at this point.)īut it was not to be. Paint a penitent figure and escape the worst, I tell you! Do it, otherwise the next eight episodes will be six-pack-free and the fortunes of BBC1 cannot weather this loss. “So you go to the gallows on a point of principle?” “I appreciate your efforts but I cannot put my name to beggary and flattery.” Oh, Ross. As Ross took to the dock, his scar shining in the sunlight, even I began to believe that he might be guilty and I haven’t had a penny from Evil George. Meeting Beardy Ginger Riot-Inciting Man was not a good omen. See how useful it is to have a clear majority, eh? (Topical!) But this needed to happen so Ross could witness someone who was about to die and therefore be further tempted into lowering himself by apologising for a crime he didn’t commit. It all went a bit Brexit when the vote was announced and the riot broke out. Elizabeth is a Winter.) For a meeting with Bergerac, though, it has to be claret, darling! Is the wardrobe mistress on a deal with Colour Me Beautiful? (Demelza is definitely an Autumn. Oh why must she always wear mustard and moss green? There is a Demelza palette.

We certainly can’t rely on Evil George to take his shirt off. There were times when I wondered if it was all going to go on a bit. Because, I mean, I love Bodmin Assizes as much as the next fan of the late 18th-century Cornish legal system but LA Law this wasn’t. It was all nicely layered and cleverly built up. Still, not a total waste of time as this was an extremely dramatically engaging episode with many tears shed. Although I reckon Dr Ennis would step up if pressed. And we certainly can’t rely on Evil George or Boring Francis to take their shirts off. And what a good job the trial turned out to be a total waste of time, because a series about the sensible side of the family would be no fun at all. I agree it’s in very poor taste to use your hospitality for such a purpose.” What a fantastically British way of saying: “Sorry for trying to kill myself in your hotel room, old chap.” the flint went down but the powder did not ignite. It’s Bodmin Assizes Part Two! But is Francis dead? Of course not. And a fiddly-dee-dee with the waves lapping against the shore.
