Daniel Mays (Line Of Duty Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Public Enemies) stars in BBC Two's powerful factual drama as Peter Wildeblood a thoughtful and private gay journalist whose lover Eddie McNally (played by newcomer to television Richard Gadd) under pressure from the authorities, turned Queen's evidence against him in one of the most explosive court cases of the 1950s - the infamous Montagu Trial. More than ten years before the decriminalisation of homosexual acts in 1967 Peter Wildeblood and his friends Lord Montagu (Mark Edel-Hunt) and Michael Pitt-Rivers were found guilty of homosexual offences and jailed. With his career in tatters and his private life painfully exposed, Wildeblood began his sentence a broken man, but he emerged from Wormwood Scrubs a year later determined to do all he could to change the way these draconian laws against homosexuality impacted on the lives of men like him. Daniel says: 「I'm incredibly proud to be part of a drama that tells such an important real-life story. Peter Wildeblood is a fascinating complex yet flawed character from a time when being a gay man in Britain was incredibly difficult - I can't wait to bring his tale to life for the BBC Two audience.」 Patrick Holland Channel Editor, BBC Two said: 「50 years ago it was a crime to be a gay man in the UK. Against The Law is a stunning piece that melds drama and documentary testimony to tell the story of one man and his wider generation as they struggled to make society accept their sexuality as non-criminal. It is brilliant to have a film that brings the authorship of Brian Fillis the vision of director Fergus O'Brien and the outstanding talent of Daniel Mays and cast to this important subject」 The drama also features Mark Gatiss (Taboo Sherlock) as Wildeblood's prison psychiatrist Doctor Landers and Charlie Creed-Miles (Ripper Street, Peaky Blinders) as Superintendent Jones. Woven through this powerful drama is real-life testimony from a chorus of men who lived through those dark days when homosexuals were routinely imprisoned or forced to undergo chemical aversion therapy in an attempt to cure them of their "condition". There is also testimony from a retired police officer whose job it was to enforce these laws and a former psychiatric nurse who administered the so-called cures. All of these accounts serve to amplify the themes of the drama and help to i妹妹erse us in the reality of a dark chapter in our recent past a past still within the reach of living memory.8686电影为您提供法律之外在线观看,法律之外在线点播,法律之外8686电影与您在一起,这里是您娱乐和学习的好地方!学习和工作疲惫时您可以观看搞笑的电影与电视剧和欢快的综艺节目能够缓解压力,增添您的快乐;这里有经典的欧美电视剧和日韩电视剧,标准的中,英,日,韩语和清晰的中文字幕,可以在休闲中同时间学习外语,让您的外语水平得到提高;浪漫的港台剧,让您重温昔日的浪漫情怀.
