History

First aired on 28 April 1992, Crime Limited was the second spin-off from Crimewatch , described by producers as "a new ten-part series that takes the cameras behind the scenes of crime." [4]

Presented by Nick Ross and Sue Cook, the series includes features and reports that Ross described as "[being unable to] form part of our appeal for information". Ross commented that, "Crime Limited gives us the chance to go into these stories. Some are exciting, some are reassuring and some are frankly funny. Some, we hope, will help to limit crime." Cook left Crime Limited after the first series, leaving Ross as the sole presenter for two further series, which aired in 1993 and 1994. [2] [3] The producers were Linda Cleeve and John Fothergill and it was edited by Nikki Cheetham. [5] Its most infamous episode featured a prosecution-biased dramatization of the Florence Jackson murder case of 1992, whose outcome was later exposed as a miscarriage of justice.
