The nation breathed a collective sigh of relief after the fate of Helen Titchener was finally revealed in an hour-long special of The Archers.
The build-up to the final verdict saw the jury members at each other’s throats.
Former Archers actor Graham Seed returned to do “jury duty” five years after his character Nigel Pargetter was killed off in 2011.
One of the 12 jurors was dismissed for contempt of court earlier in the week, leaving only 11, of which only eight were heard during Sunday’s special episode.
