Episode 608: Kanga and Roo Court

Episode notes

Joan brings the case against her sister, Barbara. When Joan was 8, their aunt gave her a present: a framed print of Winnie-the-Pooh. Joan hung it in the bedroom she shared with Barbara – but she left it behind when she got her own room. Now it’s 50 years later, and Barbara says the Pooh print belongs to her. Joan wants it back! Who’s right? Who’s wrong?

Evidence from KANGA AND ROO COURT

A close-up photo of a framed print, hanging on a wall. The print is a scene from one of the Winnie-the-Pooh books and shows Pooh, Piglet and Christopher Robin. They are standing side by side on a bridge, facing away from the viewer, and dropping sticks into a river. Below, the text reads:

In the middle is another woman in her 50s with black hair, wearing a yellow hood that looks like Winnie-the-Pooh's face. At bottom is Bailiff Jesse Thorn, a bald man with a moustache, wearing headphones and a flannel shirt and speaking into a microphone.
