Back in the 80s was essential viewing when it was on, on Thursdays nights.

I don’t watch crime watch often, but I do enjoy it when I do.

It’s not as good as it used to be

Was gonna say the same about Burnley, but decided against.

Somebody nicked the camera

Police haven't got the resources to follow the leads up.

In most cases they are civilian camera operators, not police officers.

Are they not Civvies like the rest behind the cameras?

Must have been like when Shaw Taylor presented Police 5.

You knew where all the criminals were at the time, watching the TV to see if they were on.

Crimewatch used to be a vital resource to the police helping them solve some high profile cases

Now in a day of cctv & social media, the “appeals” are done instantly via Facebook & twitter and the need for photofits & reconstructions isn’t needed.

Also, Nick Ross was a much better detective than Jeremy Vine.

Theyre still looking for jill dandos killer i heard.

No irony there in the title, hahahahahahaha...
