Ananova:

The drugs bust of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards in 1967 and the subsequent trial is to be turned into a TV drama.

A Butterfly On A Wheel will star Nigel Havers as lawyer Michael Havers, later Lord Havers, who was his real life father.

Havers defended Jagger in the trial, which became a cause celebre. The bust took place at Richards' home in West Sussex.

The two Rolling Stones stars were given heavy fines and prison sentences which were later quashed on appeal.

Both musicians believed they had been made an example of by the establishment and the case split the nation.

A Butterfly On a Wheel is being written by Nick Fisher who told TV Plus: "It's a great story and we've been finalising the finer points of the deal. Nigel Havers is keen to play his father.

"The title comes from a newspaper column in The Times by William Rees-Mogg, who defended Jagger and Richard."
