I heard on a podcast that judges in English courts, when asking about a cultural phenomenon (e.g.Love Island), are not doing so because they are out of touch, but because the judgement could be referred to as case law many decades hence, and so it is to provide a reference point for the future
Tbh, if I was a juror and any reference was made to TV popular culture then I’d need it explained.
Never watched any reality/dancing/talent shows which means I’ve pretty much stopped watching TV.
Now I’m wondering why I pay my license. 🤔
