Summary

Today, Cliff Richard's verdict of his case against the BBC for invasion of privacy came in his favour in what will amount to be an historic decision for journalism and also the BBC as a broadcaster. Media lawyer Mark Stephens reports from the scene of the Old Bailey.'Stan' calls in to talk about divorce but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, while Mike wants to talk about the police's part in the Cliff Richard situation.
