Crimewatch UK December 1990

Nick Ross and Sue Cook present. Cases include a robbery on a bike in Liverpool, the rape of a girl in Ealing, London. Plus updates on a number of cases in previous episodes.
Sorry to report that I am on holiday from tomorrow so this will be the last post for a week. 1991 will start the week after!!

[@Keeleysound]

Good evening to all fellow CWUK devotees. What a treat, thank you Redcard74 you legend. Have a fantastic holiday, you have most definitely earned it!

[@CatLowe50]

Aw thanks for letting us know you're going on holiday, you obviously know how much we worry! 😆 Enjoy your break, looking forward to 1991 when you return!

[@fintytin5771]

Good evening fellow Cromewatchers !! Many thanks RC74 for another upload-and a bit earlier tonight which is rather the bonus !!!!!

[@katemissfilanpurrmcdevitt]

Goood evening CrimeWatchers hope you all had a great day and are well thank you again RedCard74 and hope you’re all having a wonderful evening I love you Xx

[@Muttey2024]

Thanks we all love you too. Remember don’t have nightmares and do sleep tight

[@eddieedwards5668]

Cheers buddy, thank you for the uploads, such a shame they had to scrap the program, after so 30 odd years, it used to scare the life out of me, as a young teen, but was great, so many cases are still unsolved after all these years.......

[@thomastaylor1575]

So, I have been trying to watch these in order from the first one in 1984. This is the first time I have made a comment. I think it's cool that they admit to the frustration of not really finding out what happens after. Even when an arrest is made the information is not given that much of who got arrested and any following information. Also I love how Nick mentioned Sue's changing hairstyles which seem different every month and a personal view of mine that Sue looks at her hottest in this hairstyle in this ep in 1990. But the earlier episodes from the 80s are my favourite ones. The theme tune is superb and Nick Ross is such a great presenter. And don't work for Securicor in the late 80s early 90s.

[@gujh03]

Sue is just as good, her clarity and pace is excellent.

[@Lushgirl81]

When Sue left they did a montage of her over the years. She said afterwards she didn’t realise she’d had so many different hair styles!

[@54spatula]

@@Lushgirl81 I heard Sue was the one that played the drums on the Crimewatch theme-tune.

[@ryanhall9049]

i remember watching these episodes and loved it until the end when he said dont have nightmares then at that point i thought of all the nutcases on the loose and crapped my pants lol

[@vanillasnow4084]

Enjoy your holiday!! in a way i’m glad we have a break so we don’t burn through them too quick

[@SKisatourist2010]

Slight but of car geek pedantry, the Cortina is a Mark V (1979-82) not mark IV (1976-79) as police and Sue Cook said. The two marks were essentially the same car with the MkV being a facelift of the MkIV also known as the Cortina80. Both the MkIV and MkV were still incredibly common cars in 1990 despite the passage of 8 years since production ceased. It was perhaps unsurprising as during the MkV’s production run, 20% of all new cars sold in Britain was a Cortina and they had become a byword for an ordinary car driven by people of modest means. They were incredibly cheap to buy second hand for decades afterwards but recently with cars of the 70s and 80s becoming regarded as classics, a good condition MkIV or MkV Cortina will change hands for £5000-£7000 nowadays.

[@RgP1238]

Michael Benson was never re-captured and died in 2011. In 2020, he was put forward as a possible suspect in the unsolved murder of Ann Heron (that featured in the October 1990 edition).

[@zebbedi]

That's not true. He was captured in 1999, after 10 years on the run.

[@BlytheWorld1972]

Superb uploads love the reconstructions thanks once again Redcard 74 can i ask do you have most of the 90s episodes ?

[@jennynott3841]

Which year was it? I’m watching a episode from December 1990

[@ajs41]

Hardly anyone has a moustache these days in Britain do they. It's either clean shaven, beard or stubble. It'll probably come back into fashion eventually. When I went to America a couple of years ago there were still plenty of middle-aged men with moustaches, so it's only in Britain that it's fallen out of fashion.

[@dissonantdreams]

Andy JS taches certainly were “de rigeur” in the 80s! Particularly in Liverpool, if pop cultural references are accurate... #calmdown 😂

[@Kamikazegirl80]

I see loads of people with ludicrous moustaches. It's the popular way of the hipster. So many 'gentlemen's grooming parlours' for hipsters with handlebar moustaches and designer beards.

Muslim men often have them.

[@LANCSKID]

Cookie and Saint Nick need to differentiate between arrests, custody, actual guilty convictions and subsequent sentences. They try desperately to convince us that Crimewatch is an amazing force for good by announcing the number of arrests ‘as a direct result of the programme’.

I think it was actually his other son. His late son died aged 26 in 2015, meaning he was born in '88 or '89.

Stephen Roche They are not allowed to until after the trial as it may prejudice the jury IIRC.
