Crimewatch U.K - May 1994 (12.05.94) - 100th Episode

With: Nick Ross and Sue Cook
The programme which enables the viewer to solve and prevent crime.
Synopsis:
When Crimewatch first started in 1984 only three programmes were planned. But tonight it celebrates its 100th edition.
Originally the police were sceptical about the idea but, as Superintendent David Hatcher explains, "The programme quickly gained credibility among the police service to a degree no other programme had done"
Producer Liz Mills adds that now the police often come to the programme with their biggest cases: "But the big cases create the most tension. Often vital facts are not given to us until the last minute"
Among the most famous cases the programme has publicised are the James Bulger murder and the Stephanie Slater kidnap.
In this programme Sue Cook and Nick Ross present some more real cases that they hope the public can help solve.
They include a robbery at a jewellers in Harrogate on 28 March, and the murder of a 56-year-old man who was found in East London on 26 February.
