Also, if “Yakety Sax” is used at any point during the assassination sequence, that would be poor taste.

Are you kidding? With the secret service chasing the assassin up and down the streets in fast motion? That would be brilliant!
[QUOTE=js_africanus]
Is that the subject of the film? Or is it about political ramifications? (Both questions assume the film is actually a serious flick. 
)

That’s my point - the two are inseperable. And as it’s Channel 4, and they’re showing it in Toronto, I suspect it will be dealt with seriously, but will deliberately be as close as possible to the lines drawn between that approach, and sensationalism & black comedy.
(Oh, and take a look at Time Trumpet - plenty of clips on Youtube - for a far less serious approach to ‘future history’)
