Trial By Laughter By Ian Hislop & Nick Newman
Trial by Laughter
Ian Hislop and Nick Newman's comedy drama based on the real trial transcripts.
William Hone is the forgotten hero of free speech in Britain.
He was a bookseller, publisher and satirist. In 1817, he stood trial for 'impious blasphemy and seditious libel’.
His crime was to be funny. Worse than that he was funny by parodying religious texts. And worst of all, he was funny about the despotic government and the libidinous monarchy.
