The Trial: A Stab in the Dark

on BBC Two England

Documentary series, now repeated in updated form, that made legal and television history just over a year ago with its detailed portrayal of proceedings in the Scottish High Court.

James Robertson, a usually quiet family man, snapped after a two-year feud with his neighbours and stabbed one of his tormentors through the heart with a knife. He protests his innocence against a charge of attempted murder, but the evidence against him is strong. A conviction could bring with it a ten-year jail sentence.
(Revised rpt)

Followed by Talking Cezanne
First in a series of short programmes featuring the paintings of Paul Cezanne, coinciding with the opening next Friday of a major exhibition of the French artist's work at the Tate Gallery, London.
An Omnibus featuring three artists inspired by Paul Cezanne will be shown on Monday at 10.40 pm.
