You could be forgiven for thinking that an English Court was run by a bewigged judge from his chambers, or maybe his office clerks but you would be wrong. Brian Hall OBE is a Court Usher - the man who shouts,"All Rise!" or "Be upstanding in Court!". He takes us behind the scenes to hear about the rest of his job and his responsibility for making sure the system works smoothly.

Dear Listener, I'm updating the listeners map as fast as I can. I'm a bit behind though this month as we're moving house, and making tracks for pastures new. The computer will be packed at the end of next week, and is likely to reside in a box for the following fortnight. To make sure you don't miss out I'm uploading three new editions of the podcast to see you through. Thank you for all your emails, please keep them coming. Regards, Chris
