Interesting facts

The Chatterley Affair is a BBC television drama produced by BBC Wales and broadcast on BBC Four on 20 March 2006. It is a semi-fictitious account of the obscenity trial which followed the publication of D. H. Lawrence's 1928 novel Lady Chatterley's Lover in 1960. Written by Andrew Davies and directed by James Hawes, it draws heavily, and accurately, on the court reporter's notes for scenes that take place within the courtroom but also presents entirely fictitious scenes involving the deliberations of jury members. Like all jury deliberations under English law, these were unmonitored when they took place.
