Interesting BBC4 drama, set in the 1960s about the true story of the court case deciding whether or not the infamous book Lady Chatterley's Lover should be banned or not. Th trial itself still is the biggest and most famous obscenity trial in British history, so it's a little surprising it's taken this long for a feature-length drama to be made of it.
I've never actually read the book, and I think to fully appreciate it you really need to have read it, but I did see the Sean Bean and Joely Richardson adaptation a few years back so I knew the general plot. It was reasonably well acted. The scenes in court are apparently the exact words used in the trial, so you can't fault the screenplay there, but outside the courtroom the script could have done with a little bit of work.
Certainly not a masterpiece, but it's entertaining enough and worth watching if you get a chance.
