Neil Rivett Convinced Lord Lucan Is Alive and Hiding

On the night of the attempted murder, Lord Lucan fled from his home in Belgravia after a violent incident involving his children's nanny, Sandra Rivett. He sought advice from John Aspinall, who allegedly gave him a bottle of whisky and a revolver, suggesting he should take drastic action. Years later, Sandra Rivett's son Neil has become infatuated with the case, convinced that Lucan escaped and is still alive. Neil's obsession deepens as he pursues various leads, including dubious claims of Lucan's current identity as a monk. This obsession affects Neil's personal life, leading to the despair of his family. The documentary fails to present a factual investigation, instead focusing on Neil's troubling fixation, leading to ethical questions about its portrayal of a man struggling with his compulsions and misunderstandings surrounding the past.
