If you believe a televised drama represents real life, Purr, then we'd all be screaming, hysterical, over-sexed, axe-wielding psychotics. I'm afraid real life is a lot, lot duller.

The only fact I see here is that this was fiction. What was the purpose of the play, anyway? To try to tell women that they won't be believed? To frighten them out of reporting such an incident because juries are made up of fools? Those tired old themes have already been done to death in other fictional works. The idea of the bug-eyed ranting jury is SO old, it ought to be in a nursing home.
