History
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]
