Crimewatch UK December 1990 

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!

In Penny Lane there are some robbers with a firearm.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.......

Sue's looking well this month

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

Time for another Crimewatch weekend binge.

Yet again Sue looks luscious and that hairstyle really suited her best.

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

Thank you redcard! Hope you enjoy your well-deserved holiday!

I seriously need that theme as a ringtone!

Thanks for the upload Redcard. Hope you have a great break x

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).

Good evening All fellow Crimewatchers.Thanks for the latest upload Redcard74.I hope you have a great holiday - you really deserve it.Thanks for letting us know of your absence

Graphic Equalizer..... that certainly is a blast from the past !

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

35:08 a police legend - Bryan Saunders. Nails John Cannan for the Shirley Banks murder in clever fashion in 89.

Hello CW family hope you are all good and well😄

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'm gay but I have to say Sue Cook really did have it. That soft hair, that voice...well spoken but not snooty.

Thanks so much as always and have a lovely holiday redcard74

Have a fantastic holiday Redcard! I suppose I’m gonna have to sit and talk to the other half for the next week now 😏😆

So sad to hear of the man that was killed by his own family (his wife was involved I believe). Great to get the updates on old cases

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.

I just read your post above. Have a great holiday. Looking forward to the 1991 posts!!

Red card You can’t go on holiday mate, that’s a crime in itself 😆 Enjoy it 👍🏻

Enjoy your holiday Redcard74 you deserve it! Have a good one mate 😃

"Trost me, oim Oirish....!"

Fair play to the first copper, he did the best he could

I only lived a few streets away from Allerton Road in Liverpool as a kid!!!!!!

Have a nice holiday redcard74 & good evening, fellow Crimewatcher's.

Looking through my recommended and see a man standing in front of some vhs and think... òoo that looks a good one.... Really? Im not right what excited me about that? Fyck it... im here!!

Going through the motions here need more dark disturbing reconstructions to get freaked out over...

Nice to see Helen Phelps in the back to old shows part. I miss her and her lovely voice.

Didn't Edward Woodward play the *Graphic Equalizer...?*

Polaroid man look’s like a young George Ropa out of George and Mildred 😂💯

Sue Cook is georgeous.

13:10 always remember the way David Hatcher said "suit". SYOOT! 😂

Loving Sue’s hair.

important news! March 1985 ,March 1990 and January 1996 have been downloaded in the last few days.Happy viewing

The Fashion Police should arrest anyone wearing that tie

Seems odd the lollipop woman was going out for the evening when crimewatch was on . That was the last reconstruction that night too so she was going at 10pm on a Thursday ??

have a great holiday :)

41:35 - it's quite sad that he mentions his 5 day old son because that same son died in a car crash a few years ago. Tragic.

We finish tonight with one of our most popular features Aladdin's cave-popular with whom exactly?

have a nice holiday redcard74 see you in a week

"I saw my lollipop on the tellyh" :)))

Thank u Redcard for this episode of crimewatch uk and that guy who ripped off British Rail u could say that he took them.for a ride

FANTASTIC DRUMMER IN THE THEME SONG ! JS

Do you have December 1996?

A good show bring it back now

Discoteque. Wow.😉

The murderer from port talbot Clive Richards looks like Harry Cross from Brookside the late Bill Dean.

Enjoy your holiday Redcard! Looking forward to 1991 and 1992 which apart from one or two is pretty much a missing couple of years on RU-vid. Do you have all of them from those years? It's around the time I first started watching....

Michael benson at 10:42 was named as a possible suspect for the ann heron murder

Keep em peeled 😉

Scousers could nae plan a party well planed my arse

I wonder why they don’t name the convicted criminals in the updates.

Awesome first robbery well done guys

Graphic Equalizer you wot?

Looking forward to the 1991 eps !!

0:34-Sorry Nick, but leave that catchphrase to Robert Stack

One of those efits look's like Freddy mercury. No disrespect intended!

Are there any editions of Crimewatch not available so far? I might be able to get hold of them.

The Irish actor looks familar

Have a great time on holliday redcard m8😆

3:29 Clint Eastwood cop there!!!!!!

Does anyone know when the Barbara Mayo murder was featured in crimewatch

Wonder if the scousers ever got caught

Saint Nick: I gather that the man you are looking for has a beer belly, I gather that he has mousy hair, I gather that he comes from Liverpool and I gather that he has a distinct Irish accent? Detective Gormless: Yes, Nick, you gather correctly …

Thanks redcard have a great crime free holiday

Great scouse armed robbery.

Hi Redcard, Please could you upload the first four episodes of 1991, (Jan-April) sorry to be cheeky its just this past week we have all be having withdrawal symptoms. Have a great holiday.

Funny how Nick comments on Sue's changing hair styles..if he had any style he would try and brush his mop the different direction every now and then..

Magic

Hi Red card.. I’m new to the page and particularly interested in getting the episode in Feb March 2012. Just wondered if you will be uploading that one in time.. thanks!

'My Lollipop'

Love to know if they caught Polaroid Man.

3:20 isn't it easier to take the key out the motorbike rather then trying to blow out the tyre??? Come on lads, letting the side down
