The fact this show was cancelled despite it solving crimes and saving lives, but they keep shit like Eastenders running endlessly just baffles me. This show should have just run continuously like the news, it was so important.
That's what I think too. They could have atleast cancelled it for a month and then bring it back. 30 years is a long time and people obviously took it for granted. It's very important.
@@JC-ss7xy Not true and quite a bigoted comment from yourself! A lot of people are not watching things live now and will catch up online. However Crimewatch can only be online for 24 hours after the live showing so it wasn't getting the live viewers and people were missing it not realising of the online time limit. Also, the quality became really bad. There was only one or two reconstructions, half of the programme was pre-recorded segments on how past crimes were solved and advice to people. There was cheesy, over dramatic reconstructions, loud music and choppy editing; it wasn't scary at all and completely different to this golden oldies.
Because the snowflake trigger heads couldnt handle it these days...all the reconstructions would have to come with warnings and be done with cuddly toys. It would still be banned though,
Thank you so much for all these Crimewatch videos I am watching them chronologically one by one they are keeping me sane while self-isolating. They don't make programmes like this any more such a pity.
Stealing works of art from places open to public view, such as churches and museums, to hoard them hidden from view in private collections, is the height of wankery.
I have found my new favorite show. I love Crime Reel and Brief Case, but this is altogether different. I am American and I find this show fascinating. Everyone is so polite. Even when interviewing a crook, they say "no comment." Americans get the hell beat out of them.🙂😆
I am from Ireland in 1986 we had a programme called Garda patrol check out the edition of June 1986 in comparison to the crimewatch UK. I couldn't believe it myself Friesian cows (6).
These early Crimewatch episodes are brilliant helping to save crimes the public love this time most of the other programs they bring is absolute rubbish
There was at that time a school of thought suggesting that the murders of prostitutes did not receive the same degree of dedication afforded to other serious crimes.
3 women violently murdered in Bristol over a space of 18 months in 1984/1985 - Shelley Morgan, Jackie Waines and Violet Milsom. Although the victimology and crime scenes were very different, they were all vicious murders with a sexual motive and multiple stab wounds. Jackie and Violet also lived in the same street. I wonder if these crimes were ever linked.
Nick would seem more sincere at the end if he wouldn't smirk each time he said "Don't have nightmares, do sleep well" it just looks like he's about to chuckle at it.
@@CARLIN4737 IDK how it works in the UK, but if it's the US and they're consecutive rather than concurrent, you might do 15-20 years for 'life' and then the next one starts. Basically insuring even if you get life with parole you never actually get released.
Some of these robberies if they weren't so serious they would be funny ! 2 women in fake Nun Costumes ARMED with Collection Boxes ! You couldn't even make that up ! 🤣
I just stumbled on this. They CANCELLED this show? I do wonder why it seems like a great show. I do like the older ones, these guys still caught the bad guys without the aid of all the advanced forensics they have today!!
It was originally cancelled because people stopped watching it, and the nature of crime and crime detection has changed a lot. In the 80s, police were much more reliant on witness appeals. So many of the crimes here are unsolved, but would have been solved fairly quickly today with no need for a public appeal. Crime has changed a lot too - so many of the securicor van robberies we saw on Crimewatch back then don't happen now. People use cash much less now and new technology means the notes get ruined if stolen. Crimewatch is back on TV now in the mornings, but it's very different. It focuses on giving advice on things like online fraud.
Ford vehicles The villains favourite Powerful Granada this time as well V4 petrol transit vans were popular in the early 70s They used to outrun the police cars of the day
33:37 looks like the same actor sitting in the driver's seat of that metallic blue Granada, as the actor who played Steve Whitnell in the March 1986 episode of Crimewatch who was shot dead in the loading bay of the Presto supermarket in Putney High Street.
erm . . . . . twice in the narrative we are told that there were 2 boys qarked in the gateway listening to music but in the reconstruction there are 4 in a citroen Diane/Ami. What are we thinking about that then?
It's not too clear, but he actually says "some young men". The old guy who said he should ought to take his number and report it to the council should have done just that.
The burglary of churches shows how bad things had got in the 1980s. Crime had been increasing massively in the UK since the early 60s, before it started to deline in the early 2000s. In the 80s, crime, particularly violent crime, went through the roof. It was fed by de-industrialisation and the ensuing massive unemployment. Demographics also played a part. Crime is overwhelmingly carried out by the young, and the huge baby boomer generation was coming of age in a country where there were fewer and fewer jobs for them.

Thank you. These early episodes are the best. The reconstructions are superb!
Stewart Spaull they really are. They're so raw & gritty. The later episodes are like something from a Hollywood production company
even now watching these back I want to hide behind the sofa
Stewart Spaull I agree, they are the best!!

Agreed!

Its actually theft?
@@CARLIN4737 Sorry l don't quite understand your question.

Please put more on. As many 1980s ones as you have. Brilliant.

Yes and all the burglars knock politely and ask if you mind being robbed too.

I swear all criminals drove cortina’s in the 80’s!
Yes and then they all changed to Sierras around about late 80s and early 90s.
And had Zapata ‘tashes and wore Harry Fenton suits, eh?
Watching these old episode again, and apart from remembering the number (bit sad) I also remember how gorgeous Sue Cook was!
Cookie = Hottie.
They never solved the
Murder of Jackie Waines....sad
Madness how her true identity wasnt initially known
Nor Jill Dando
I cannot find any mention of her online

Cortina - the getaway car of choice for 80's hoods 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It is a crass and meaningless phrase …

J C such a shame eh ? 😆
Good? But how can you serve 6 life sentences?

@CARLIN4737 maybe he was a Buddhist
within the annals of redcard crimewatch videos, the chavy girls dressing as nuns, is iconic.
Thanks for uploading the videos they are great please do keep uploading more videos again.
Bilkul bhai
who the fuck steals a chair

The days when cars was easier to fix.
Nick Ross lived around the corner from me in Kentish Town at this time. I used to deliver milk to him as a teenager.
Semi-skimmed, or full fat?
@@shhhplease1050 I think he was a gold top kind of guy !
@@alexgreen5064 One of the best.
Eggs n bacon?
@@bolshevikproductions I think it was just eggs back then... Used to have egg fights at the end of the shift if we had any left over !
A bit of steely Dan in the first reconstruction
Sad story of mark tildesley google Sidney Cooke very sad tale
Rebecca J I think that is a vast understatement- the bastard should have been hung !
he went on to kill Jason Swift & Barry Lewis in late 85 both featured on Crimewatch
And loads more
Sidney Cooke should have been blasted into space
Sidney Cooke should have been tortured than hung drawn and quartered and his organs donated to people more deserving of them.
Some of these robberies if they weren't so serious they would be funny ! 2 women in fake Nun Costumes ARMED with Collection Boxes ! You couldn't even make that up ! 🤣
Nearly every reconstruction has a cortina involved!!
31:40 Granada 2.8 Ghia X. Great old car.
Jeremy Northam at 8.13 🙂 - These old ones are great, seen Micky Pearce from OFAH previously as well haha
Nothing is sacred these days. These people would steal their grandmother's false teeth if stood still for long enough.
July 1987 episode. Theft of 26 pairs of grandmother’s false teeth. Great reconstruction. Dot Cotton from Eastenders played one of the grandmothers.
This was nearly 40 years ago.
Screw or nail it down or lose it.

Sue cook really was a good quality presenter. Love her hair style.
17:51 this painting. Reminds me of a film studio backdrop ✨👍🏻
Sue is the buiss
You nonce. Sexual predator
Hot Cookie for sure!
When they don't specify the reward amount (it always seems to be on the armed robberies) I'm suspicious there's actually no reward on offer at all.
Generally, in the case of a robbery, the insurers would offer 10% of the amount recovered, so it was not a guaranteed amount.
Q: Where did the pipe smoker obtain his requisites? Clue: Pipe Museum burgled as mentioned earlier …
4:05
Brown ssssstring.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ssssstring
Is it me, or does Keith Hunt, from photofit, look like a young Richard Whiteley from Countdown, back in the early 80s?.......🤔🤔🤔
From his description I'd say he looks more like two Richard Whiteleys...
Howling at those fake nuns
I did darkly laugh at that myself. Same as another episode where Supt. Hatcher reported that "The 'Vicar' then produced a shotgun"
Despicable scumbags.
Det supt malcolm hughes looks like donald trump

Very unfortunate.
