On 11 January 2000, one of the most important libel trials in English legal history began at the High Court. The plaintiff, historian David Irving, lost his case and three subsequent appeals. The Irving Trial features contributions from all the protagonists in this extraordinary case, including an interview with the judge himself. The unprecedented access gained for this programme produces a vivid, and often moving, account of the trial.
