Secret Lives: L. Ron Hubbard (Video)
This 50-minute biography was first shown on Channel 4 (British terrestrial channel) on 19 November 1997. The team who made the programme claimed that they were subject to harassment from private investigators employed by the Church of Scientology. Complaints to head of Channel 4 and to the Independent television Commission were also used, including a personal plea from John Travolta, in an attempt to stop the programme being shown.
