It’s the real-life crime show that sets out to re-open cold cases.
And now Under Investigation host Liz Hayes, 67, has revealed that one community watch dog reckons the show’s crime busting reports have been ‘too successful’.
‘Crime Stoppers would like us to stop, almost, because they’re getting so many people calling them,’ she joked in a new interview with TV Tonight.
‘We met with them and they said ”Please stop it!” But that’s a great outcome and we’re very pleased about that,’ she continued.
‘We’ve also had some cases reopened, and I think that’s a major plus.’

A volunteer not-for-profit organisation, Crime stoppers gathers public tip offs to help prevent illegal activity in the community and assist investigations.
Elsewhere in the chat, Liz said there will be eight new episodes in the new season which premieres Wednesday, February 7 on Channel Nine
The first episode called The Snake and the Shotgun will look at a case in which a woman was shot dead by her husband by accident while he was hunting a snake in their garage.
The circumstances of the woman’s death includes a fatal shot to the back.
It comes after Liz revealed that the late Prime Minister Bob Hawke tried to woo her on multiple occasions.
The journalist made the revelations in an extended interview with Stellar magazine last November.
In 1991, shortly after her marriage to entrepreneur John Singleton (and Hawke’s prime ministership) came to an end, the politician phoned Hayes to propose a weekend away on the Gold Coast.
‘I just found it extraordinary that somebody I had come to know via my then-husband was ringing me up and asking me out. Really? And not once, but twice,’ she said.
‘I thought, well, what is it about me that makes him think that’s OK? That worried me. Why do I look like somebody you could just ring up and say, ‘Hey, how about we get on the jet and go to the Gold Coast with my mates?”

The beloved 60 Minutes star wondered what ‘pheromones’ she was putting out that made Hawke ask her out twice, but conceded that the former Prime Minister was ‘absolutely brilliant’ and never mistreated her.
Despite his talents and her newly single status at the time, the journalist said she didn’t take the Prime Minister up on his offer.
‘I never saw any bad behaviour towards me at all. So then to have this was like, oh my God, what’s that about? Anyway, I didn’t go’ she said.
Hayes met and married her first husband, builder Brian Hayes, in her home town of Taree, but the two later split.
