Episode 21 introduces Rebecca Balding as Carol David
kevinolzak21 April 2010
Episode 21 begins with Danny introducing Elaine to his crazy family,which fails to deter her from wanting to marry him.An unbilled Tim Rossovich plays Elaine's bodyguard,whose job is to frisk everybody,which really pleases Jodie("Danny,for me? You shouldn't have!") At a remote mountaintop retreat,Corinne finds Father Tim,who admits he's been unable to forget her,with Ian Wolfe making his second appearance on the show,his Father Juniper believing that Corinne is a vision,a simple mirage("maybe I've been on the mountain too long!") Rebecca Balding makes her debut as Carol David,assistant to E.Ronald Mallu,Jessica's attorney,who is so surprised upon meeting Jodie,a suicidal homosexual,that she insists upon making it up to him over lunch.Jessica's entourage sweeps into the courtroom,and the trial begins with Mr.Franklin saying such awful things about her that she threatens to leave and not come back.

The Witness for her own prosecution.
Sleepin_Dragon12 November 2023
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.
