Angela Smith on Crimewatch

Dr Angela Smith (English) has been invited to give a paper at the 20th Anniversary Seminar of the Ross Priory Broadcast Talk Group (Strathclyde University) 9th-12th July. Her paper is an analysis of the popular BBC programme Crimewatch. Angela looks at how the programme has changed in its presentation since the production moved to Cardiff in 2009, arguing that it is now more akin to a TV detective drama, ameliorated by a hyper-verisimilitude in the studio sequences.
