IAN HERBERT: It's no apology, of course, that some of the most notorious injustices of modern times have spawned some of the most enthralling moments of drama-documentary television. It was a Thursday night in December 1996 when ITV broadcast Jimmy McGovern's Hillsborough, expressing, among other things, the moment Trevor and Jenni Hicks waved off their daughters Sarah and Vicki to the Leppings Lane stand, never to see them again. It's heartbreaking. Unfortutable. It was journalism that gave the film its greatest importance. McGovern had requested Katy Jones, a world investigative journalist, to collaborate with him. On the day of Liverpool's FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest, she discovered new supporters, including a video technician, Roger Houldsworth, who was on duty in the police control box at the ground.
