The Zzzz Factor. Some do it by day, some do it by night, some just do it when they feel like it. But although sleep is one of life's necessities, it is also one of life's mysteries. For giraffes it is also a fleeting experience - they can't get back on their feet quickly so dare not lie down for more than five minutes of deep sleep in a 24-hour period.

Thirty years ago one of the world's most famous sex symbols apparently committed suicide. Since then investigations into the circumstances surrounding her death have cast doubt on this theory. This award-winning documentary tells how Mafia figures dogged Marilyn in the months before she died, bugging her phone, determined to find damning proof of her love affairs with Jack and later Bobby Kennedy. The "Marilyn tapes", mobsters hoped, would be priceless ammunition against the Kennedys.
This documentary reconstructs the last hours of Marilyn's life and the events between the discovery of her body and Peter Lawford's strangely delayed call to police. It presents evidence that Robert Kennedy, then Attorney-General, visited Marilyn the afternoon she died, and that - to avoid political scandal - frantic arrangements were made to spirit him out of Los Angeles.
Since its first showing on BBCtv in 1985, Say Goodbye to the President has never been seriously challenged - factually or legally.
