I am tempted by Witness for the Prosecution. Is this one where watching the trailer would give too much away?

Ronan, that is a good way of choosing. I tend to match the pick to the evening as well.

Witness for the Prosecution is one I am weighing up. This would be a good change of pace from the things currently at the top of my list.

Niamh, fair point. There is room for something a bit different in the next six.

For anyone considering Witness for the Prosecution: A little more variety in the shortlist is always welcome. Glad this is in the pool.
