Line of Duty's Vicky McClure to appear in classic BBC show
Line of Duty star Vicky McClure will be joining BBC One's Crimewatch Live for a special episode.
The BAFTA TV Award winner, best known for playing Detective Inspector Kate Fleming in Line of Duty, will appear in the documentary show's episode this Tuesday (March 5) (via Radio Times).
Vicky will be appearing to shine a spotlight on her work with the Nottingham Police on care for people with dementia.
The actress has become an advocate for dementia care following her grandmother's diagnosis and subsequent death from the neurodegenerative disease.
In the past, McClure has raised awareness by presenting the BBC One special Our Dementia Choir, a two-part documentary about the healing power of music for those with the disease.
In her appearance on Crimewatch Live, Vicky will speak with the show's current presenters, Rav Wilding and Michelle Ackerley.
"I'm really looking forward to working on the new series of Crimewatch Live," Ackerley has said of the new series.
"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."
Vicky recently presented the powerful ITV documentary Vicky McClure: My Grandad's War, where she chronicled her grandfather's heroic history serving in the Royal Navy.
She also starred in the second season of Trigger Point, which wrapped up on Sunday night on ITV1 with her character Lana Washington rushing to stop a terrorist plot.
Crimewatch Live will air Vicky's guest appearance this Tuesday (March 5) on BBC One at 10:45am.
More information about dementia is available via organisations including the NHS and Dementia UK. Resources for readers in the US are available via the National Institutes of Health.
