Crimewatch UK - April 1996

[@Lushgirl81]

One thing I do like about programmes from this time is they don’t keep telling you what’s coming up, they just get on with it.

[@ajs41]

Yes, that is an annoying feature of a lot of modern programmes.

[@domniven]

Television was great viewing back then. Now its all reality TV

[@neilt4723]

Completely agree. Mad I’ve just seen this comment because I was thinking about this in programmes last night. A programme can be a 30 min programme, has adverts and has stupid repeated sections repeated every time the programme starts again after an advert break..... so annoying

[@Thenorthsace]

I only watch old crimetwatch on youtube modern tv is full of adverts and bad acting.

[@neilt4723]

@@Thenorthsace dead right. The Britain’s most evil killers stuff just repeats content every time there’s been an advert. They’ll get back to the crimewatch way of doing things one day because just looking at peoples comments on the videos, that’s what people want !

[@rayoflight6505]

That first reconstruction made my blood boil how anyone could viciously attack an elderly person.... vile piece of inhuman shit.

I don't know what it is, but they always had a certain way they used to film CW reconstructions 25:49 is a good example, almost like they film it from the witnesses' perspective. It's subtle but very effective.

[@robbo391]

It's to build a connection between the viewer and the victim, the idea being you're more inclined to call in if you feel connected to who has suffered the crime.

[@DeanBall75]

@@robbo391 Its a great idea. I'm not really up on filming/production but its a very distinctive and very unique to earlier CW reconstructions. Its a bit like when they film from a moving car or something, and the person is sees something and they film it from their perspective like with the car moving. Very effective.

As a new mum the fake social worker case TERRIFIES me. When my baby was first born we had so many health visitors/midwife visits to our house and I never dreamt of asking for ID or anything. I'm so glad these mums were on their toes, I dread to think what would have happened to the children if that woman had got their hands on them!

Jill Dando . 👼🏻 I hope one day her Murderer is caught and justice is done . Near a shady wall a rose once grew, Budded and blossomed in God's free light, Watered and fed by morning dew, Shedding its sweetness day and night. As it grew and blossomed fair and tall, Slowly rising to loftier height, It came to a crevice in the wall, Through which there shone a beam of light. Onward it crept with added strength, With never a thought of fear or pride. It followed the light through the crevice's length And unfolded itself on the other side. The light, the dew, the broadening view Were found the same as they were before; And it lost itself in beauties new, Breathing its fragrance more and more. Shall claim of death cause us to grieve, And make our courage faint or fail? Nay! Let us faith and hope receive: The rose still grows beyond the wall. Scattering fragrance far and wide, Just as it did in days of yore, Just as it did on the other side, Just as it will for evermore. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️🌹

An elderly neighbour from my childhood was a victim of a distraction burglary. The police came round to question me about it. I'd married & moved away from the street so was nowhere near there. I was horrified to find out that she had fallen victim to the people because with her failing eyesight she thought the female was me, so she asked her if it was "my name" & the girl/woman said yes. My poor neighbour allowed her in believing she was me. Breaks my heart. She was ok but what a horrid experience for her & to think, even for a short while, that the little girl from over the road that she had watched grow up, could do such a thing to her 💔😢

They should of given that extra time to the welsh officers investigating the attacks rather than trying to be diverse and adding such crap.
