Line of Duty's Vicky McClure joins Crimewatch Live for new season
McClure will appear in an episode of Crimewatch next week.
While many of us will know her best as Kate Fleming in Line of Duty or as Lana Washington in Trigger Point, Vicky McClure is set to join the line-up of Crimewatch Live for a specal appearance.
The new season of Crimewatch kicks off next week and, as always, will shine a light on some of the country's biggest unsolved cases.
For three weeks and broadcasting live over that period, we'll get an insight into the teams who are working to bring criminals to justice.
In Tuesday's (5th March) episode, presenters Rav Wilding and Michelle Ackerley will be joined by McClure to discuss her new dementia care partnership with Nottingham Police.
Of course, as well as being a BAFTA award-winning actress, McClure is also the founder of Our Dementia Choir.
On the announcement of the upcoming instalment, Crimewatch presenter Ackerley said: "I’m really looking forward to working on the new series of Crimewatch Live.
"Each year we work closely with police forces, helping to crack down on crime by broadcasting appeals from across the UK.
"Having the opportunity to go behind the scenes with some of the UK’s most respected emergency service teams is a real privilege. Once again, we need the viewers' help in order to solve important cases."

The first week of cases will be a big one for Crimewatch viewers, with the new slate of episodes set to feature a police investigation into the "jaw-dropping" impersonation by a man who stole thousands from his own father by posing as his recently deceased mother.

Similarly, other cases will include one of a drug gang who were caught hours after robbing a rival gang while dressed as police.
The season will also examine how a police force took down a gang selling industrial amounts of cocaine while also laundering their profits through multiple cryptocurrency accounts.
As per the synopsis: "Crimewatch Live will once again appeal to viewers to help the police to solve dozens of cases. In the last year, our appeals have led to significant developments on multiple cases for police and led to arrests and charges."
Crimewatch Live will broadcast from Monday 4th March on BBC One at 10:45am for the first two weeks and at 9:30am for the third week and will also be available on BBC iPlayer.
