Controversial issues are put on trial before Dick Taverne , QC, and an audience of jurors in Broadcasting House.
This evening's proposition:
The Maximum Sentence for Rape should be Reduced to Seven Years
It is proposed by Jonathan Caplan and opposed by Ann Mallalleu-both of whom are barristers.
Each advocate calls his own witnesses, cross-questions his opponent's and argues his case. The jury votes at the beginning and end of the trial so that any swing of opinion may be measured and a verdict reached. Producer KAY EVANS
