BRING BACK CRIMEWATCH

RETIRED COP'S PLEA TO THE BBC..

THE detective who caught serial killer Peter Tobin has called on the BBC to bring Crimewatch back to primetime television to help solve major crimes.

Former Detective Superintendent David Swindle appeared on the show as he led the investigation into Tobin's background.

He said information received as a result of his appeals eventually saw the killer, who died last year aged 76, convicted of three murders.

The BBC axed Crimewatch in 2017 after 33 years on air amid declining viewer numbers.

A daytime sister programme called Crimewatch Live is still broadcast but Swindle believes a primetime slot for the show would have a bigger impact.
