[@zeddeka]

It's back on tv during the day but it's very different because society is very different and crime is very different. Even since 2009 when this was made, advances have been huge. Now for example, the man who raped the woman in her home would have been caught on the CCTV many people have on their doorbells like Google Nest etc. as he walked down the street

David Gillen was the monster that raped the elderly lady in Carlisle and was jailed for 12 years. Unfortunately, the murder of Melanie Hall is sadly unsolved.

[@TheOne-fe8wk]

Incredible. Only 12 years? People get more for selling drugs. I can’t stand the Uk legal system. I don’t know about you but I think a monster like that is far more dangerous than some coke dealer

That's mainly because of the quality of the recording, not the actual broadcast. There are videos from the 1970s that have a clearer picture than this.

2009 TV quality was reasonably good, the aspect ratio was 16:9 by then and HD was becoming more normal.

[@simonpitt8145]

@@racheldoesacrylic4089 Not as simple as that i'm afraid. The original reconstruction didn't show Melanie behaving entirely, shall we say, as a paragon of virtue. Of course this in no way gives anyone the right to murder her, but her boyfriend ( who was German if memory serves me correctly ) came across as being the more decent person. This episode chose to change both character portrayals presumably for the sake of Melanie's relatives.

[@simonpitt8145]

[@sell3100]

@@racheldoesacrylic4089 Melanie's boyfriend apparently saw her dancing with another guy at the club which she shouldn't have been doing when she had already had a boyfriend. He apparently decided to leave most likely because he was bothered by what he saw. I'm sure the boyfriend has spent time wishing that he could have differently that night, he probably had some sleepless nights over it but he's not responsible for what happened. Still, what happened to Melanie was sad and tragic and the creep who did this needs to be caught and dealt with accordingly..

The programme goes behind the scenes with detectives hunting the killer of Melanie Hall, whose remains were recently found by the M5. Plus appeals on the sexual assault of an elderly woman, and the gang of robbers who held up a mother and her four-year-old child in their own home. 9pm Wednesday 28th October 2009.

Fit an eye viewer to the front door of elderly relatives , a porch with a locking door is an advantage, an auto dialler alarm only £12 +p&p that rings a few numbers with recorded message when the PIR detects movement in that room. Live streaming hidden camera or two is easily affordable nowadays.

[@LANCSKID]

Crimewatch gradually ‘transitioned’ from being an honest and albeit earnest attempt to help police fight crime (with mixed results) to being a sensationalised ‘show’. The BBC described it as ‘a revamp’. The reconstructions were awful, made worse by the wholly inappropriate and unnecessary music overdubs. Kirsty Young referring on occasion to a studio full of ‘coppers’, constantly stating the obvious, her angry and accusatory stance was, at the very least, irritating. The cocky, arrogant Rav ‘the Chav’ Wilding further detracted from the programme’s original, serious remit with his commentaries full of stupid puns and lame attempts at ‘humour’. His post CCTV footage demand, “names, please,” was both tedious and predictable. Matthew Amroliwala brought nothing significant to CW. He often seemed unsure of what he was saying, with occasional pausing and grinning while staring dreamily at Kirsty Young or indeed, any female. Alternatively, he almost seemed at times to positively relish the often horrific cases he ‘dealt with’. The overall tone became ever more patronising especially with the over-emphasised ‘pleas’ to “do the right thing,” “pick up the phone,” etc.
