I'm watching episode 3 of Quiz on catchup. Last night I paused the credits to see if I could find who the legal consultant was. Turns out there either wasn't one or they went uncredited. Someone else on the crew has a connection with the law but that's a different point

First up, the Silk defending pausing mid cross-examination to make a speech (as pointed out by @Brummybar) but going one step further to give evidence. All perfectly acceptable of course once you have your letters patent. Positively encouraged it seems.

Next, the Ingrams interview. Together. Obviously. No regard for PACE but then when you have Simon's Dad from the Inbetweeners conducting the interview, what do you expect? I await a story from his youth while in Benidorm 'talking to the ladies'.

"We never thought a high-profile Barrister would touch our case with a bargepole"
"Oh given it's already started in the press"



I take it back. The PACE interview together was more believable than this.

Whittock introducing himself for the first time at trial. Presumably the Ingrams & Whittock had separate 1st appearances, committals and PDHs with a joinder application at which one or more were excused and then a serious of mishaps that meant they first met at trial. Believable

Prosecuting Silk shouting 'PAUSE' as he pressed pause. Again, this is within the realm of possibility.

That wasn't a question. Not even a statement with an inflection that makes it sound like a question.

AN OPEN QUESTION IN CROSS EXAMINATION THAT ALLOWS THE WITNESS TO GIVE HIS CHIEF AGAIN?

"OBJECTION YOUR HONOUR"

"WITHDRAWN"

WHAT. IS. GOING. ON?

"I call for order. Everyone who has a cough, please go outside" (What, the jury? The jury should go outside. Moreover, what is this outside they speak of?)

DID THE JUDGE JUST SAY "Order Order"

WAS THAT A GAVEL I JUST HEARD?

WAS IT?
WHO'S GOT A GAVEL?
HAND IT OVER NOW AND WE'LL FORGET IT EVER HAPPENED

There is a Nobel Prize for Comedy. It was awarded to @DavidMuttering some years ago.

Best question in cross-examination so far from one of the Ingram children.

Right, it appears the Silk defending is defending all of them(!), called a defence expert first, then Whittock and I assume later, the Ingrams.

I'm going to bin my copy of Archbold. It's clearly out of date.

Dance dream sequence. Standard Bollywood.

Hold up, there's another Silk who has said NOTHING. This takes over as the most unbelievable plot point.

(I was once in a mention with 8 Silks and little old me. It took 4.5 hours of court time)

Not a single Archbold or bag of Haribo between the Silks. Some pile of blue practitioner texts in the row behind. Three of them. Probably "The law of objections".
