Over two decades ago, someone murdered “the Golden Girl of British television” and in Who Killed Jill Dando? a cold case that left Britain in shock back in 1999 is reopened. Dubbed the “TV Diana” for more than their similar looks, the popular 37-year old television presenter of shows like Crimewatch was at the height of her career when she was fatally shot at her own doorstep. While speculations about motives unfurled, the Metropolitan police could not come up with anything beyond conjecture. An arrest, conviction, and eight years later, an acquittal were nonetheless made when the closest thing to a killer was found: Barry George, who lived near the victim, had a record of assaults on women, and was allegedly interested in firearms. But that is all. The new documentary, which is well-researched and pretty thorough, examines all of these theories in the hopes of finding new evidence so that the victim’s surviving family may one day find closure and peace.
