39:46 has replaced the Highgate Woods trance guy as my favourite Crimewatch moment. The two dogs definitely saved that lady from a horrible fate. I love the way the guy decided even with a knife and the dogs perhaps not fully grown that it was a battle he couldn't win. The dogs ironically were going for obedience lessons. Well, they didn't need to be taught how to protect their owner and maybe obedience lessons would be counter-productive in a situation like the lady was in.
Crazy watching these back now, seeing the Rachel Nickell appeal, and then in this episode seeing the 'Green Chain' appeal and knowing that Robert Napper was responsible for both.
That first case where the bloke had a grudge and just randomly steamed into the Old couples house after speaking to them....weirdest case on crimewatch ?
Yes i know mate that was one of the bizarre crinewtch reconstructions ever . Due to broken marriage he commits aggravated burglary he'll get 8 years for that cos of the shot gun aimed at the old couple.. Someone broke my marriage too taking revenge was very tempting but prison is not for me so eventually took me years to get over it and I didn't end up taking revenge
Keep on hoping! The solicitor has apparently been dead for the last 26 years, so that's one witness who can't confirm anything! Whole thing sounds like a terrible waste. 😔 And yes, I love that doggie 🐕
John taylor commited rapes in the 1980s and abducted and killed 16 year old leanne tiernan in November 2000 as she walked home from Christmas shopping.
@@kdwskdws yeah if they had kept the format the same as the earlier Crimewatch it would still be fantastic. Terrible shame they cancelled it, esp the crap they put on now.
Imagine if they filmed old school crimewatch reconstructions now. People would have their smartphones out like bees to honey and it will be uploaded within minutes. Remembering a few reconstructions it seems like they filmed them by closing off roads so they could film. That wouldn't be possible now due to the growth of the population since then
Man: "I've killed your dog." Grandad: "No, no, no - I said *FILL* my dog! Fill. Fill him with food. 🤦" And he sounded like he took the instruction as so matter of fact as well.
@@Starlord80s Yeah On the face of it it looks like poor wheelers went through an ordeal , Some of these lawyers are ruthless and whatever happened all.they years ago obviously had a baring on the attackers family
@@soulbrother61 Seems incredible if they couldn't work out who did it-how many cases would the firm have been involved with where they 'ruined a life'? No doubt it would have been a lengthy litigation process & likely threats of violence etc from the guy & daddy dearest that would be on record.
Crimewatch - Nov 1992 15:10 "I was in the woods looking for wild fungi that my family & I like to eat......" Crimewatch - Dec 1992 "Can you help police trace this man? All his family died after he fed them poisonous mushrooms". :(
Another securicor/group 4/security express raid. This is on just about every crimewatch in the late 80`s/early 90`s. Didn't the van have a panic button inside in case of a gun man attacking ?
Yes they press an alarm on many of the reconstructions but I doubt the alarms were linked to anything back then (eg. The police/their control room/an alarm control room) I get the impression they just made that pathetic noise to attract attention , probably the intention was that their customer (banks/shops) would phone Police/hit their own silent alarms/ immediately. There is a very scary 1991 reconstruction where a Hertfordshire Securicor van that is hijacked, has a GPS tracker linked to it's control room and a silent alarm , and it worked , the hijackers had to leave the van and run away empty handed. It's called South Mimms Services Securicor Raid .
It returned after the programme received an avalanche of letters (these were the days when emails were more-or-less unheard of) asking for its reinstatement. Additionally, a regional ITV programme in the south east of England titled "Crime Monthly" (a sort-of tabloid Crimewatch) used it, and according to Nick Ross, "That really IS a crime."
@@treasurehunteruk9718 I wasn't quite happy with the original version so I deleted and reposted. There are a few minor differences. Sorry - I'm a pedant. :-(
@@treasurehunteruk9718 Here's a link (assuming it works) to a "Crime Monthly" video about the Rettendon killings in 1995. Please note that the title incorrectly alludes to the BBC's national "Crimewatch" programme - which it obviously isn't, as the report quite clearly begins following a commercial break. The poster is Bernard O'Mahoney, a former criminal turned know-all. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dOm4waNyvVA.html HTH. 🙂
@@MsVanorak yes but this was 1992. He could have worked on 100s of cases similar to this. But I do agree with you because I feel that they didn't tell us the full story
we are calling on all men who have used prostitutes....Steven takes his wife in for support...she's like....oh...it's ok...sometimes I have a headache and Steven needs to release...
this episode seems to be the build up to my enborne lodge boarding school travels in berkshire in 93, nick and the van in lamborne area on business just like the table tennis tournament that we played in there. Crime watch seems to be the driving force behind most of my journeys, the names of all the individuals in the boarding school that corospond with my sordid past. like the government opened this boarding to get even or some thing. vindictive government or what, chat to your supremist cousins, there saying your not pulling your weight in the graveyard, and BA from your supremist cousins.
If the rapist from the end of this episode, has collar length hair, then why are they showing him in the videofit with short hair?? In the remake, they showed the actor playing the rapist with longer, collar length hair, but the videofit picture showed a guy with a short haircut....I'm pretty sure the artist was stoned on that day. Lol
I wonder if that's the same man shown in the Rachel Nickell murder segment (September 1992) - not the more well known one with short hair, but the one shown just before with _longer_ hair (and a sort of side profile of his face)??? It's only just occurred to me, that it might be the same individual.
@@letsdiscussitoversometea8479 It's not the guy with the long hair in the Rachel Nickell case, but the main photofit. His name is Robert Napper, who went on to kill 3 people, one of them being Rachel Nickell.
@@STEJTHEGREATEST I wouldn't know about councils housing or the eviction procedure. You will have to tell us all about your experience so others don't end up a Jeremy Kyle reject. Give to back to society for once etc etc.
@@nathaniliescu4597 Jeremy Kyle isn't even on TV anymore. Seems like there's more proof that since being kicked out of your council house, you've been living/sleeping in skodas with your fellow loser friends, unable to catch any TV to be aware of such changed.
That's how people say shire when a suffix on a county name - what's he supposed to say. He does say transit weird though trar nsit. Sounds like he's a working class copper trying to make his accent posher to go with his top copper job and telly role and getting it all wrong.
Watched them all 84 till the last year month by month. Better than jez kyle. An who watched that shite like big bro an all them other daft set up shows.
