Ultimately, Who Killed Jill Dando? cannot answer the question in its title, yet it’s impossible to come away from it without being reminded of what a warm and engaging presence she had been in our lives.
A proper piece of journalism that sheds light on the case, even if it can provide no definitive answer.
While its narrative structure is as dry as a bone, Who Killed Jill Dando? carries a lot of intrigue, simply because of how famous the case is and how wildly speculative the investigation got.
Solidly made documentary. .... [Barry George] is interviewed in the documentary, but the makers do not press him as much as you might expect. They also interview his sister, who ceaselessly campaigned for a retrial and hired the private investigator who found the problems with the forensic evidence – but they don’t question her on whether his history of violence against women had ever given her pause for thought.
It features an interview with George, the man accused, convicted and later cleared of the murder of the TV star. But he sheds no new light on what happened. The case thus remains open, and creates a vacuum for speculation and future periodic, fairly futile, retellings of the story, ad infinitum.
