What happens

Crime Team was a British television series which ran for nine episodes between 2001 and 2003. It originally aired on Channel 4 and was hosted by practicing Queen's Counsel lawyer Jerome Lynch. The premise of the show was that two celebrity guests were presented with historical murders, and were given three days to solve the mystery based on the evidence available. Lynch guided them through the investigation and provided the historical and legal context of the crime for the audience. Crime scenes were reconstructed for the investigators and some aspects were re-enacted for the audience. Scientific experts assisted in presenting forensic evidence. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
