The Witness for her own prosecution.

Elaine accompanies Danny to a family evening, and believes they're putting on an act to discourage her behaviour. It's also the start of Jessica's trial, and she's unsure about what outfit to wear to get sympathy out of The Jury.
It continues to be glorious comedy, it is genuinely like a snippet out of a soap opera, the trial sequences in soap land are always outrageously funny and over the top.
I loved that scene where Elaine was introduced to Bob, he's been back on great form, those one liners were hilarious. Tinkler's introduction of The Judge was just too funny.
Jessica really does know how to make an entrance, that arrival was fabulous.
You can see why Carol would find Jodie cute.
9/10.
