The Chatterley Affair (2006 James Hawes)

Written by Andrew Davies, who has represented some of the trial itself - which now seems mad - including a Bishop who claims the book 'sanctifies' sex and a lecturer who describes it as 'Puritanical'. But what Davies has also done is to make up the jury - in particular a couple, who - perhaps because of the shared experience of the book - get it together. They are Rafe Spall and Louise Delamere, played older by Kenneth Cranham and Claire Bloom.

It's funny that the minute Spall goes down on his wife Alyson Coote, she realises he's been having an affair!

The courtroom stuff goes on a bit. 

With Karl Johnson, Pip Torrens, David Tennant, Montserrat Lombard, Gerard Horan, Mary Healey.
