Netflix takes over a documentary series that shook the United Kingdom
Recently, it is a three-episode miniseries that debuted on Netflix: Who killed the BBC’s darling? In just two and a half hours, viewers have the opportunity to (re)discover behind the scenes of a case that shook all of Great Britain at the end of the 1990s, the assassination of the famous BBC presenter, adored by the British, Jill Dando. Considered the “Princess Diana of TV” by the public, the 37-year-old journalist who presented the show Crimewatch – dedicated to unsolved criminal cases – was coldly shot on her doorstep on April 26, 1999, with a bullet to the head. The news of his disappearance literally shocked and upset the entire country. And just like the terrible stories she presented on the BBC small screen, her murder has never been solved!

A chilling and exciting mystery
By taking up this affair, Netflix offered a documentary series in three episodes, combining archive images and the testimonies of the various protagonists of the investigation. Nearly twenty-five years later, the journalist’s assassination has still not been elucidated. But in the documentary offered by the streaming giant, we learn that many avenues have been raised. Was Jill Dando murdered because she was investigating a BBC pedophile ring? Was she targeted by a gang? Did his agent, Jon Roseman, order the murder? Was Jill Dando the victim of Serbian reprisals? Unfortunately, all these questions have remained, and will most likely remain, unanswered.
