Since 1997, I have been trying to obtain the original
broadcast version of The Men Who Killed Kennedy documentary which aired in the
UK on 25th October 1988.
In 1998, I contacted Central Independent Television
duty office to see if I could obtain the original broadcast version from them, because after
the broadcast in 1988 the documentary caused much controversy due to the naming of the three "alleged" French hit
men. Later Central Television agreed to have an additional debate for balance, which was held in Washington DC, and was hosted by Peter Sissons.
The documentary was repackaged and edited because of the controversy
regarding the three named French hit men, and was sold to A&E.
In 2024 I managed to make contact with someone who had a copy of the original
broadcast, and allowed me to have a copy of it. I would like to give special thanks
to Steve Higgings for sending me the original recording he made in 1988.
