This was a great series, and it gave many people, clearance. .... My dear late husband, Tony and i, used to watch it every month. .... Sue Cook @ Nick Ross were the perfect presenters and they always looked classy and immaculate. xx
I had resigned myself into thinking we wasn’t getting a upload tonight, and then you popped up, and as I now have to watch it my snooze button is going to take a hell of a battering in the morning 😩......... evening all
It's great to see these again. Now and again I actually remember certain reconstructions from 30+ years ago, watching on a Thursday night once a month. Gripping TV.
i was told that a lot of criminals used to hide out living on the inland waterways because they could move police territories from time to time and since there weren't national databases back then so different forces didn't communicate with each other. so perhaps they thought it was one of their peers handiwork - grass etc.
Yes. Very bizarre that was chosen for a reconstruction - doesn’t appear that there was the slightest shred of evidence that there was foul play there. It was mentioned that Michael liked to explore the countryside so a tragic accident was always the most likely explanation.
I'm always amazed that they have SECURICOR on the side of the vans. Why advertise to would be robbers? Far better to just have a shabby looking works van that goes round the back to make it's collection. Anyway, me and my wife, both expensive jewelry collectors, are going abroad for a month now. Yours sincerely, Mr J Swift. 27 Rogerson Street. Plymouth. Thank you.
From the number of them that were attacked during the day it seems that wasn't much help either. Perhaps they were trying to mix up delivery times to confuse criminals. Clearly, it didn't work.
redcard - much as I appreciate your efforts, I think you've published the description of "Crimewatch UK June 1990" here - and vice-versa. June 1990 reads: "Nick Ross and Sue Cook present cases including the murder of Murray Erskine in London, an attack in Palmers Green and the murder of Dr David Birkett in Middlesbrough, Cleveland." Which is accurate for THIS episode (May 1990).. Everyone's allowed the occasional error, though. :-)
Look forward to getting in bed and watching the latest episode every night, thank you again Redcard, seems everyone is else is really enjoying watching too.

Did they ever mention Michael Boulton again? I can't see any mention of him in June's episode (1990), yet a body was apparently found in a cave near where he went missing. I'm guessing it was him, poor kid.
Yeah, fair play to the "quiz master" for getting up and giving it a go, but the pub really needs to take her to one side and tell her to put a bit more "oomph" into it. People expect a bit of showmanship.
Another day, another Securicor hold-up. Somehow they lasted until 2004 when they were taken over by the even more incompetent Group 4 & G4S now has double the ineptitude.
They're virtually unheard of now. Far fewer people use cash, technology has advanced so much that the notes become stained and unusable and the thief gets covered in dye. Also, heard some criminals from that era talk in other videos about how the technological advances made those kind of raids a real mugs game - criminals realised they could make much more money from drug dealing and supply.
Jacqui Hames is just so wonderfully wholesome isn’t she. Credit to the police force. To think she had to endure the maelstrom that was the Leveson enquiry
She's like something out of an Enid Blighton novel. You'd think she'd be disgusted and confused by the horrors of crime in 90's Britain. Yet, there she is, hunting baddies.
Once investigated by a certain downmarket tabloid for having an affair... with her own husband. What sad, squalid existences those hacks must have lived
when you watch these old crimewatch episodes you realise how easy it was to obtain goods and money illegally by using stolen chequebooks and credit cards, it would take the banks a lot longer to realise there was a problem. Also driving licences didn't have photographs so you could use a stolen driving licence very easily, these types of crime appear again and again in 80s and early 90s episodes
Scott1433 I had great fun at the bank’s expense in the mid to late eighties with cheque books and cards and credit cards and the driving licences with no picture was a great proof of I’d! I paid the price later with a short prison stay and have been a good lad ever since but I fondly remember the fun I had😂

Murray Erskine lived at 5 Norland Square which is almost directly parallel in the adjacent street in Notting Hill, with the home of Janice Weston whose murder was featured in a 1984 crime watch episode. Janice lived on Addison Avenue.
I remember the story of the MP who died due to his predilection for kinky sex. I think he was found with an orange in his mouth and a carrier bag wrapped around his head. I wonder if something similar happened to Murray Erskine?? Death due to kinky sex I mean?? Not bags and oranges but some sort of injury because of his masochistic tendencies??
@@eyebrowes1886 Try to destroy evidence, like burning a corpse, hoping to get rid of body fluids, fingerprints, skin tissue, blood. Libby Squire's mother said she wanted to know how she died, cos the post mortem could not establish the cause of death. Her body was found in a river.

Has anybody else noticed Nick Ross has a habit of interrupting/cutting short the coppers he often interacts with? I conclude thus : A) a producer in his earpiece is telling him to hurry things along B) his social graces are lacking Or C) he hates the police. Which one is correct?

It is ridiculous that the villains have sawed off shot guns and the police have what? Radios? I wouldn’t be able to come back to work either. Anyone who shoots at police should go to jail automatically!
That's very sad. At least his family had some closure, and I imagine it must've given them peace to know nobody else had hurt and killed him. Thanks for your response to OP.

Omg I thought it was solved
Right? The 80s and 90s were truly a Wild West. Most of those murderers wouldn’t get away with it today due to cctv, mobile phones etc.

It was a common sight in my town once upon a time seeing a van after midnight dropping off at bank. Banks are few and far between nowadays.
