It appears to be a loving picture of a doting father kissing his toddler son.
But this is in fact the chilling moment Baby P comes face to face with his evil killer, Stephen Barker.
The tragic child, real name Peter Connelly, was filmed by his mother Tracey, 28, during a trip to a park.
Chilling: Baby Peter Connelly is kissed by the man who would go on to kill him, Stephen Barker
Peter is seen smiling at the camera until Nazi-loving Barker's face appears on the left, holding out his hands as if to play a game.
He appears to kiss the boy tenderly on the cheek for the film. Just four months later, Peter was dead.
Killed: Peter suffered 50 injuries - including a broken back - at the hands of his mother Tracey, her boyfriend Stephen Barker and Barker's brother
The 17-month-old suffered 50 injuries - including a broken back - at the hands of his mother, Barker and Barker's brother, Jason Owen, 37.
All three were subsequently jailed for causing or allowing his death.
The Panorama documentary also showed a senior social worker thanking Tracey Connelly for being 'completely honest' during an interview before he was killed.
Sue Gilmore appears to readily accept Tracey Connelly's explanation that the child 'banged his chin' when he 'caught himself on the table'
And when Connelly says she wishes social workers would 'back off and leave me alone' Gilmore responds by saying this is a 'straightforward thing to want'.
Ms Gilmore, the senior team manager overseeing the case at Haringey Council, recorded the hour-long video with Connelly as part of a course she was doing in 'brief solution therapy', a new social work method based on encouraging parents to make positive changes in their lives.
During the video, Connelly also talks about her 'friend' Steven and their special Valentine night together.
She says: 'He is 6ft 4in, blond hair, green eyes and I am sorry if I've built up a dream boat on him but he is every girl's dream.'
Haunting: Tracey Connelly, right, is pictured telling a social worker she wishes they would 'back off and leave me alone' just four months before her son's death. The social worker praises her for being 'completely honest'
She was arrested the following month when bruises were spotted on the boy's face and he was placed on the child protection register.
