There are plenty of similar programs as this, following up on cold cases. All of them are done better! The concept is good, unsolved murders and missing people should be able to produce a watchable and interesting program. The problem with this is that it appears to have been made for the wrong reasons, it seems to be a vehicle for Emilia Fox. Unfortunately Emilia is not a very good actress, her facial expression seems to be perpetually confused and shocked. The program is obviously scripted but Emilia delivers her lines in such a stilted and wooden manner that it sounds very amateurish. The professor is much better, not great but better, at least he sounds natural and conversational. Another problem is that this has been made as an entertainment program, therefore it actually doesn't get anywhere. The cold cases are just rehashed, there is no movement forward towards a closure of any of the cases.
