The Trial of Lee Harvey Oswald

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A two-part television drama starring
Lorne Greene, Ben Gazzara with John Pleshette, Mo Malone

This American television production vividly reconstructs the events already known to history, but instead of ending at the moment when Jack Ruby shot Oswald, it imaginatively continues with Oswald's imprisonment and trial.

1: When prosecution and defence counsels sift evidence for the trial they begin to uncover the bizarre life of Oswald.

(Part 2 will be shown next Friday)
