DRAMA

THE KENNEDYS: AFTER CAMELOT, RTÉ ONE, FRIDAY 9.35PM

It is over 50 years since President Kennedy was shot and killed in Dallas and were he still alive he would have celebrated his 100th birthday last month. Yet we are still captivated by the story and the family.

Just how many dramatisations of the Kennedy clan have there been over the years?

This bells-and-whistles two-part US mini-series stars Katie Holmes as Jackie Kennedy and opens in the summer of 1968. Jackie is still dealing with flashbacks of her husband’s killing when news comes in from California that Bobby has been assassinated in LA. Bobby’s death places younger brother Teddy in the spotlight.
