Crimewatch

Crimecall is a television show broadcast once monthly on RTÉ. It is co-produced in Dublin, Ireland by Green Ink Ltd and 360 Production South Ltd. Since September 2023, the show is presented by journalist Carla O'Brien. It is a second RTÉ adaptation of German crime programme Aktenzeichen XY… ungelöst, and its format matches that of its British derivative Crimewatch and re-enacts unsolved crimes.

The Garda Bureau of Community Engagement is responsible for Crimecall.[1]

History

[edit]

On 28 October 1964, RTÉ began broadcasting Garda Patrol, a fifteen-minute weekly television show seeking public assistance in solving crimes.[2] The show was later revamped in 1992 (this was closely modelled on BBC's Crimewatch UK), and retitled Crimeline. Broadcast once a month, it was originally presented by David Harvey and Marian Finucane and produced by Midas Productions.[3] Following Finucane's departure in November 2000, she was replaced by Anne Doyle in January 2001.[4] This version of the show was axed in October 2003 after eleven years on air.[5] Since September 2004, the show has been known as Crimecall.[6]
