THE MEN WHO KILLED KENNEDY - Original Aired UK Version - 25th October 1988

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 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.
