| Description: | Lord Justice... Charlie Austin! - presides at trial for historic Dunmow Flitch. Ilford, Essex. Various shots inside a tent or marquee show comedian Charlie Austin, dressed in Judge's outfit doing some funny business while supposedly presiding over the trial of couples who claim not to have argued for a year and a day. He sits beside a lady and pours her a glass of water. M/S pan across the 'courtroom' as a man stands in the witness box being cross examined by a man in a wig. M/S outside the marquee as Charlie kisses the winning lady; her husband stands the other side of Charlie (I think!). Behind them are the famous sides of bacon - their prize! | |
