About This Program

Reagan Limousine and more is a television programme presented as a single episode within the series. The show adopts a factual‑documentary style, with each installment focusing on a distinct investigative thread. In this particular episode, the host, Don Wildman, guides viewers through a series of unrelated yet intriguing subjects, linking them together with his characteristic curiosity. The first segment sees Wildman turning his attention to a highly debated piece of machinery. He scrutinises the only surviving piece of evidence that exists for this controversial device, weighing the limited material against the surrounding speculation. By methodically unpacking what little is available, he provides a clear picture of why the machine remains a point of contention. The investigation then shifts to a historical attempt on a life. Wildman follows the trail of clues surrounding the assassination attempt, piecing together the known facts and examining the motives behind the act. His approach remains grounded in the evidence at hand, avoiding conjecture while highlighting the key moments that define the episode’s narrative. Concluding the episode, Wildman explores a richly illustrated book. He flips through its vivid pages, commenting on the striking imagery and the way the illustrations convey complex ideas. This final look offers a visual counterpoint to the earlier, more text‑based inquiries, rounding out the episode’s diverse range of topics.
