An attempt was made to revive the show by the rival Nine Network after the Seven Network axed it, but this format was far from successful and was axed after only six weeks. The show was often in the headlines due to its graphic crime scene re-enactments which many deemed too distressing for the show's 7:30pm Monday timeslot.
