The Trials Of Oz

(Related pages: Oz)

An ITV dramatization of the famous 1971 trial in which the editors of the British underground magazine Oz were charged with obscenity. The programme was broadcast 1991-11-09, with a cast led by Hugh Grant that included Nigel Planter (formerly Neil in The Young Ones) playing Peel. JP commented on Planer's performance:

"'I thought he was rather good. He got the accent wrong actually, but I mean that is not particularly important, but rather embarrassingly he got all of my sort of facial tics and mannerisms and unfortunate ducking and weaving off to a tee. My family were much impressed with it anyway - 'Just like your dad'.'"
