Pivotal individuals who were involved in the obscenity trial of DH Lawrence's infamous novel, Lady Chatterley's Lover, talk about the significance of the case and key details that ensured publishers Penguin were acquitted.

Richard Hoggart, a leading British academic, was called to testify to the literary value of the novel during the trial. His evidence was seen as one of the deciding factors in the overall decision.

The clip also features Dieter Pevsner, the former editor of Penguin Books, and Lord Jeremy Hutchinson QC, renowned as one of the greatest criminal barristers of his generation and member of the defence team.
