@@1977Futre Yeah you might not realise that googling non-fatal robberies from almost 40 years ago before most information was digitalised might be quite difficult. Not everyone can afford a £15 a month payment to access old newspaper archives either.
Crimewatch is like Robert Stacks Unsolved Mysteries from Amercia in so many ways the cases and crimes are very similar and Crimewatch UK and Unsolved Mysteries where both big at the same time in late 1980's early 90's
It's hard to describe. In many ways, it was a fairly grim time. But people led much, much more sheltered lives than they did now in many ways, so it was easy to live your life without having any awareness whatsoever about some of the things that happened. One of the issues back then was that there was so much more cash in the system. People got paid in cash and tended to shop in cash, so it was a huge target for armed robbers. Nowadays they'd be wasting their time as people get paid electronically and pay mainly by card so there just aren't the opportunities. Also, people back then tended to drink much more alcohol than they do now and that was a big source of violent crime. It must also be remembered that the kind of crimes reported on here were and still are very, very rare.
The Pizza Pomodoro looks like a really cool place, actually. (In the John Gaspar case.) Man, that Worcester China is beautiful. I love that part of this show. Thanks for this, finally got to subscribe. :)
Redcard74 bravo to you I love watching these old crimewatch videos thanks for all the uploads I think I have seen every single one now you haven't got anymore to upload have you 😁
Absolutely. Many of the elderly back then hadn't grown up with banks - they had been for "posh" people in their day. My great grandmother used to keep her money under the carpet or in the washing machine (!)
It used to be 99% safe to leave doors open - especially during the day. People much poorer didn't rob people. I grew up like that. It just didn't happen.
unsolved! they susqect it was because of gambling debts. at the beginning they said they thought it was someone who knew him - so the key could have been 'borrowed' from his coat qocket at the restaurant or from out of his locker at the gym-like-qlace he went to every other day.
Blair was very impressive compared to his colleagues who more often or not seem to falter under the glare of the cameras and the gravitas of the show. No wonder he went straight to the top.

John Gaspa murder has no internet presence, presumably unsolved. It seems it was so easy to get away with serious crime in those days and before, due to lack of CCTV and limited forensic science.
It's true that the John Gaspa case remains unsolved and, as Helen C. has hinted, a hitman could've been responsible. But there's a sting in the tail/tale here... news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/1694858.stm
@@ajs41It was light because the abductor didn't actually do anything. He didn't even take the kid against his will. He convinced the boy to follow him back to his home, let him sleep in a separate room, gave him breakfast in the morning & the kid left. It wasn't your typical pedo abuse case. Don't know what his motive was but there was no physical harm nor abusive perpetrated.
It appears that Lytton Hamilton from photo call was found not guilty of murder in 1988. In 1998 a man named Lytton Hamilton was murdered in Tottenham. Wonder if they are one and the same.
Noelle Gunning I’d have thought it was something like they had discreetly got ahold of the key (while his car was being serviced, while he was busy in the restaurant, while he was out playing golf or something) then with the key, nip out, get a spare cut and return it. Thereby The victim would be unaware that one layer of his security has been breached.
Obviously the murderer was pretty close to the victim . He or she sent a close confidant to get the key and the original was returned pretty darn quick . Definitely not a random or stranger murder. Which only leaves business or person . I'd hedge on business. So therefore the murder could ot risk being identified going to the locksmiths and sent a couple of stooges . It's right there that simple. Amazed plod never solved this . Fellow Mason perhaps ?
Not the most gripping edition. More antique and painting thefts and fewer murders. It’s the reconstructions of the murders that make this show, they’re so dramatic. It’s almost as if the murderers were on a break!
Yeah, I always skip over the bank/jewellery shop/Securicar robberies. They are boring, and not so interesting and unpersonal. Much better when they feature someone's real life.
smck 2016 I think he was lonely maybe because he said call me dad obviously not in a sexual way he obviously had mental health and maybe wanted a friend, it was still wrong though and i hope he didn’t do it again it could of been do different at least it’s a happy ending
He left him in his flat to get muscle relaxers and his mates. The boys fate would have been sealed had the man come back before the boy left. Call me dad indeed...
@@noongourfain doubt that very much. That is abduction and not normal behaviour of an adult to take a child that they do not know home (at some distance too) and then go to work...I suppose next he'll enrole the boy in the local school then go part time so they can spend more time together ❤. Nope. That was not his plan at all.
in the uk are banks all called 'building societies'? everyone of these crimewatch episodes features somebody robbing building societies but never banks. i'm not english so i wouldn't know.
Banks are called banks here in England, a building society is organisation owned by its members they offer many different services, funerals, banking, mortgages etc
@@filfvideos yeah i looked it up it's sorda like a combination of what we in the states would call a 'credit union' or a 'savings & loan'. in any case they seem to get robbed an awful lot more than banks if 'crimewatch' is anything to go by.
Yeah like a combination of both those things for instance the co-op is a building society here and they serve everything from mortgages to funerals and food to insurance. They got robbed a hell of a lot, I'm from a rough part of London (well it is yuppie now but it was rough when I was a lad) and the building society there got robbed all the time. One time the robbers threw their masks in our garden.
@@filfvideos yeah i know like many parts of the states alot of london is getting gentrified now. anyrate, i'm L.A. born and raised which happens to be the bank robbery capitol of the world (or at least as far as they know since alot of 3rd. world countries don't keep accurate statistics). when it's reported on the news they ususally just call it a 'bank robbery' even if it was a credit union or a savings and loan. and yeah if anybody is fixin' to learn english as a second language i would suggest they pick british or american english and stick to it otherwise you'll go nuts from all the different terminology between the two. until i actually went to the uk back in the 90's there was tons of words and phrases i had literally never heard before let alone did i know what it meant. i had never heard the term 'building society' until i started watching 'crimewatch'. btw, these episodes of 'crimewatch' fuckin' rule. i've literally watched damn near every one. i've been a true crime enthusiast as long as i've been alive and for years there was no true crime shows from other countries (you think the american media is insular now ya shoulda bin here win i wuz younger besides the occasional doc. about 'jack the ripper') which sucks because i totally would've watched it but until youtube came along it simply didn't exist. now that i have access to it i watch it all the time if it's from an english or spanish speaking country i'll watch it. oh, and did you keep the masks from the robbery or did ya have to turn em' over to the pigs?
Yeah tell me about it mate, I went to a wedding recently and there was this bloke from Brooklyn there, we got talking about big city life. How me and him, being working class men from big cities had more in common than I did with some of the English people there. He said his block in Brooklyn used to be famous for being tough, it was a rough and tumble place to come from he said people would admire you and be a bit scared of you! He said but now they sell cupcakes in my foyer. I said tell me about it my part of London had a terrible reputation, hundreds of years of rough street life..... Now they do yoga for dogs in the park... I said to him I don't tell people I'm from there anymore, it is too embarrassing! Yeah there's a load of differences in English and American English. You'll just get lost in the differences you're right. Crimewatch was a great programme, I remember watching an interview with Alfred Hitchcock and he said "it is scarier to imply rather than be explicit" and I think that is true of the early crimewatch episodes the less they showed the more scary they were, a handle turning slowly is way scarier than showing a woman screaming and a man smashing the door in with his shoulder. No the robbers came back for it, these lads knocked on the door and said had I found any plastic masks in the front I said yeah they said could they have them back, so I just gave them back. Two weeks later, unconnected the police were hunting for a knife in the front garden. Then the next day a drugs raid involving thirty to forty coppers. Like i say those days are finished, now dogs do yoga.

@@zeddeka My parents weren't wealthy, but always kept savings in the bank, even in the 1950s. I can accept that before then, the previous generation probably didn't earn enough to bother with a bank, cos they got paid in cash and paid their bills straight away. However, there is an element to keeping cash at home so they don't have to declare it to Housing Benefits or have their welfare payments deducted. If you have too many savings, you lose some benefits.
@@treasurehunteruk9718 It's probably best summed up by Hillda and Stan Ogden in Coronation Street. There was a storyline in the mid 80s when Hilda got a bank account for the first time and it was a huge deal for her. Very typical of so many people of that generation back then. If they ever had any small savings, it often went into those old fashioned 'insurance' policies that were sold and managed by local agents for Prudential etc. My great grandmother never had a bank account in her life - when I remember her from the early 80s, she used to keep her money under the carpet or in the washing machine. Her children, my grandparents generation, were similar, but they had building society accounts with passbooks, and the money they paid to 'the insurance woman'.

So anyone else think the 80s seems like a terrifying time to be alive? Anyone could do anything and get away with it.
Yeah lack of CCTV, no smartphones, no internet, forensics not as advanced as today meant criminals got away with a lot
especially terrifying when you google the cases and find out how many murders remain unsolved or not solved until the mid 2000s
I was only a 6-7 year old in 1987 but I guess people didn’t really know any different

So banks didn't really feature much in their lives, and a lot of working class people of that era were a bit intimidated by them.
@@zeddeka My parents weren't wealthy, but always kept savings in the bank, even in the 1950s. I can accept that before then, the previous generation probably didn't earn enough to bother with a bank, cos they got paid in cash and paid their bills straight away. However, there is an element to keeping cash at home so they don't have to declare it to Housing Benefits or have their welfare payments deducted. If you have too many savings, you lose some benefits.
@@treasurehunteruk9718 It's probably best summed up by Hillda and Stan Ogden in Coronation Street. There was a storyline in the mid 80s when Hilda got a bank account for the first time and it was a huge deal for her. Very typical of so many people of that generation back then. If they ever had any small savings, it often went into those old fashioned 'insurance' policies that were sold and managed by local agents for Prudential etc. My great grandmother never had a bank account in her life - when I remember her from the early 80s, she used to keep her money under the carpet or in the washing machine. Her children, my grandparents generation, were similar, but they had building society accounts with passbooks, and the money they paid to 'the insurance woman'.
