History

edit

Broadcast on BBC One, it was aired on an ad hoc basis and presented by Nick Ross and Sue Cook concurrently (with Jill Dando taking over from Cook in 1996 until her death), more than thirty editions aired until April 2000, when the final edition, fronted by Ross, was broadcast. Following the show's demise, in latter years of the main Crimewatch programme, episodes would regularly feature segments and reports on solved cases previously featured on the programme in a very similar vein to Crimewatch File.
