Archer: were you his alibi?

Archer: guilty of lying and asking others to lie in a libel case

Jeffrey Archer is all over the papers again on Sunday in connection with other crimes and misdemeanours.

Some people have been bored rigid by the story, but by and large there's been a fascination with Archer's rise and fall - and rise and fall.

Since his conviction a number of alleged irregularities have been reported in his tax affairs, his dealings with charities and with his complex private life.

Shergar, one of the most valuable stallions in the world, was kidnapped in 1983

It seems there's no end to the offences he's alleged to have committed - from to false starts on the athletic track.

What on earth will come out of the woodwork next? What WILL the police try to pin on the fallen peer next?

Enjoying Archer's downfall

The case has made us think about celebrity, honesty, brown-nosing in politics, sentencing, the libel laws and whether convicted criminals should sit in the House of Lords.

It's made us wonder about the judgement of the media, the Tory party leadership, the establishment.

Are the media, and the country as a whole, obsessed - gleeful even - about Archer's downfall?

To discuss the wider repercussions of the case are writer and psychotherapist Suzy Orbach, and Adam Raphael, political correspondent for the Economist.
