BBC R4 - Peter Goodchild's 'The Great Monkey Trial'
Directed by John Theocaris
Produced by Susan Lowanberg and Martin Jenkins
Broadcast March 8, 1992
Coded from tape at 128/44.1

Reconstruction of key parts of the Scopes' 'Great Monkey Trial' drawn
from original sources and trial transcripts.

The trial, Scopes v. State, 152 Tenn. 424, 278 S.W. 57 (Tenn. 1925),
arose from a prosecution under Tennessee's 1925 'Butler Act' which
prohibited state funded schools from teaching " ... any theory that
denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible,
and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals."

Fully engaging, and at times very funny. Odd, though, to hear Ed Asner
putting the conservative position.
