For those unlucky not to get selected it was 6 hours locked in a room in which the chairs are uncomfy and there is a portable TV with 5 channels.

Sadly, this was my experience. I did not get to sit on a case but was holed up in a room, the likes of which poor Anne Frank and her family were incarcerated in, for a fortnight.
I was in there with 12 others from 10am until 12. We were then allowed 2 hours off (to do what???) and then had to return from 2pm-4.30 when we were dismissed. Hideous.
