There is an eerie moment in Who Killed Jill Dando? when Barry George re-enacts how he didn’t shoot dead the popular BBC Crimewatch presenter on her west London doorstep in April 1999.
George’s large frame, in a dark suit, towers behind executive producer Emma Cooper. She agreed to take part in the impromptu demonstration, but is now nervously folding her arms. You feel her discomfort – understandably. George was originally convicted of broadcaster Dando’s murder in 2001 and imprisoned for eight years, before later being acquitted at a retrial. He is now a free man living in Ireland. The case remains unsolved.
