First viewed : 25 October 1988
This was a special documentary straddling either side of News at Ten to mark the approaching 25th anniversary of the twentieth century's most infamous assassination. The programme claimed to have unearthed the real assassin as a French hitman brought in by the Mafia, The theory was based on the reminiscences of a good old boy who recalled a bullet whizzing past his shoulder from the direction of the grassy knoll. The programme makers then produced a blurry photograph and helpfully drew a wriggly line around the supposed shape of the assassin lurking in the bushes. This was rightly mocked by Spitting Image the following Sunday.
The controversy rages on.
