The Trials of Oz

on BBC Two England

Twenty years ago the three editors of the underground magazine Oz were charged with "conspiracy to corrupt and debauch the morals of lieges of Her Majesty". The trial at the Old Bailey became a cause célèbre, pitting the alternative culture of the hippy underground against the legal might of the British establishment.
Jonathan Dimbleby introduces three programmes re-creating the most controversial court case of the 197 Os and the story of the magazine that provoked it.
