True Files
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
True Files is an English language television docu-drama telecast on MediaCorp TV Channel 5, with each episode re-enacting some major cases of crime in Singapore. When the inaugural season was telecast in 2002, its first episode was re-slotted to be telecast last, when numerous public feedback was received by the station complaining that it was too graphic after watching trailers for the pilot episode. The show was also pushed back to a 10 p.m. time slot from the second episode onwards as a result. Nonetheless, the hype helped the show to enjoy favourable viewership ratings, and so far, four seasons has been telecast, with the fifth to be screened from 7 January 2007 [1].
The show was hosted by veteran actor Lim Kay Tong from to Season 4. In Season 5, the host is Tay Ping Hui, and the narration by Brian Richmond.
