Thank you very much for helping us true Crimewaters out with these uploads.

This one was uploaded before, but it has mysteriously disappered

Sir Redcard74, thee LEGENDARY KZbin crimewatch video uploader, and AndyJS, between them both, we had the majority of crimewatch uk, from 1984 to when its format changed, and was never the same again....

[@725k9]

Thanks for uploading the full episode!

[@jayneboucher7974]

I’ve been looking for this episode for so long. I lived not far from Claire and her family in st Mellons at the time, I was 14 at the time and her death affected so many of us. We would pass or cut through cath cobb woods daily going to and from school but after this we no longer felt safe doing so. I remember writing a poem for Claire and putting it with all the other tributes left at the entrance to the woods. ❤I moved from st mellons many years ago but I often think about Claire, I will never forget her❤❤❤

[@acotbc]

I remember People Magazine had an article about the Claire Hood murder in 1995. I think it was the same issue that had the gallery of the daycare kids killed in the Oklahoma City bombing on the cover.

[@Ligerpride]

Margaret Wilson and Claire Hood were on the same episode? Both notably hideous crimes.

[@apuk79]

The murderer of Claire Hood is already out - ridiculous justice

[@SB-qc4qg]

Been out nearly 10 years. Disgusting

[@halfbakedproductions7887]

He was very young at the time (born 1977) and would now be 47 years old. That's still young enough to have a life, something Claire never got to do.

[@jimsullivan6973]

Welcome back redcard74 you legend

[@LANCSKID]

Yeah … you leg-end.

[@wrghty]

Ah, back when you could buy cigs in shop at 16 and never really had to show ID. Also, when you used to be able to smoke indoors and not freeze ya tits off outside

[@halfbakedproductions7887]

And in those days smoking was so bloody cheap. What she buys in this reconstruction would have been less than £2, these days you can barely even get a bus ticket or a small coffee for £2. Even in 2007 when I first started smoking you could get 20 B&H Gold from a vending machine and it was around £6.50. These days the machines are banned and those same 20 B&H would be pretty much double the price.

[@lukewilly]

And now you can sit in a bar or restaurant and not have to sit in smoke and go home stinking

[@EBIKETYSON25]

@@lukewilly I started smoking in around 99/2000 even by then most decent places that served food had a small smoking area. Luckily i had stopped by the time they outlawed it fully. So you must be really old, do you remember when you could smoke on an airplane to.?

[@Made1984.]

The hooded man watching the kids in the woods and the attack on Margaret Wilson were both disturbing scenes to watch in this episode. I read that the heartless b@stard who killed Mrs Wilson worked at a potato processing facility, derek christian I think?

[@braxriverboys]

Absolutely disgusting , Claire hoods murderer was released in 2014 to a halfway house 5 miles away from where the mother lived

[@braxriverboys]

@@joep6665 sorry for your loss , is the scam bag that did it still alive ? x

[@halfbakedproductions7887]

@@braxriverboys As far as I know yes, he was only 19 at the time (born 1977) so is still young enough to have a full life, or as much as one can with a murder conviction. Claire would be 45-46 years old at this point had she lived.

Hi Redcard any idea why fanedit has taken on the cw gems he uploaded down or do you think they have been taken down ?

[@rs-qt1qg]

I doubt they were taken down by YT, more likely he decided on taking them down. Must say it's rather odd that they have disappeared. I think Redcard downloaded them and has re-uploaded them. Thank god he did though.

[@ianbousfield1962]

Fanedit deleted them because he wanted to charge to watch them but got told he couldn't

[@privatelyprivate3285]

Is it me, or had the show started to take on a more sensationalistic tone by the mid-90s?

[@LANCSKID]

I’ve said it many times.

[@cliftonian10]

I think it started when they added those unnecessary bontempi drums to the opening theme music. It’s probably why Sue Cook left. She would have found the acid rave version they adopted in the Rav Wilding years unbearable.

[@LANCSKID]

@@cliftonian10 Unbearable is certainly an accurate description of Rav ‘the Chav’ Wilding. As I recall, Susie was more of a waltz and foxtrot girl and still is …🤵‍♂️

[@EBIKETYSON25]

@@cliftonian10 This was the acid rave era, in fact it was pretty much done by 1995. Id say 88 to 94 were the best years, after that they made raves legal in massive venues with no alcohol licenses. Did they think the field raves they tried so hard to stop would also prevent the use of drugs once they started giving out permits. I even went to a few events with a couple thousand people in leisure centres all entirely legal.But it was never the same.

[@LANCSKID]

“Simon Black is white and his accomplice isn’t …“ well, that sorts that out, then.

Ether I’m getting old or crime seems much worse then thirty years ago and is not taken as seriously by the justice system as once was. But please don’t have nightmares 😆👊

[@LANCSKID]

Have you seen the episode where the old man is given a life sentence for stealing an out-of-date Mars bar and the serial killer is given a right good telling off by Junior PC Numpty and told to ‘give it a rest’? British justice, eh?

[@bruirn]

You are getting older but crime rates are better now than they were thirty years ago thankfully. Sleep well

“There’s a substantial reward on offer … “ (but we are not going to tell you how much it is). Such a tease.

Nick hates mentioning rewards. He doesn’t respect people who do kindnesses for money. He’s hilarious.

[@halfbakedproductions7887]

I remember teenagers in those days being hardier, more adventurous, and getting up to more 'stuff' with their mates. Probably because there was much less to do at home. These days teenagers don't just hang around quite as much, or roam the streets aimlessly at midnight. In the 1990s that was perfectly common. Today's teenagers are also smoking and drinking much less, there's much less sex and the average age of losing virginity has slightly crept up, etc.

Just coz they're gunsmiths and acting as vigilantes, doesn't mean they wanna commit a crime themself.
