    I was 10 when this episode came out! But I loved our monthly family gatherings watching CW. Always never understood why the Antiques Roadshow came on halfway through, but now I get it as a bit of light relief after a scary reconstruction. Living near Bristol I always felt I could help as it seemed to feature heavily. Wish they would bring it back, as there's nothing which is similar & unfortunately it isn't as if crime has gone down over the years! If I could have my time again, I'd have got into forensic science as this features as a great help as time & crime goes on through the years. Thanks for these uploads 🤓

      It is back on TV - but crime has changed a lot as society and technology have changed massively. Firstly, Britain had the highest level of violent crime in Europe in the 80s - that kind of violent crime has actually gone way, way down. The kind of securicor van raids we saw in this episode just don't happen now - people aren't paid in cash anymore and most payments are electronic and card. Secondly, the technology has improved so much that any stolen cash like that would be pretty much unusable. CCTV and mobile phones have also meant that the police just aren't as dependent on witnesses coming forward like they were in the 80s. DNA has also meant that criminals are often caught much quicker. If you look at the recent case of Sarah Everard, her killer was caught within a day or two. If it had happened in the 80s, he might never have been caught or it may have taken years. If you watch the episodes of crimewatch now, they show the types of crime that happen now - most of which don't have witnesses. It's often about domestic abuse (something the 80s crimewatch would have been very wary of tackling) or it's about fraud.

    My Mum lives not far from where Violet Milsom resided in Bristol. The area has been a bit Hipsterfied in recent years, but the old style flats are still the same. Interesting how Bristol has changed in 35 years. £36 a week pension money is nothing. I bet that wasn't much Even in 1985. Even now, it's still low. Her case is still unsolved sadly, and I really don't think it will be as the murderer is probably dead. How anyone can do that to a pensioner is fucking sickening! She was just an innocent old lady just living her life and speaking to her friends. It wasn't the youths who disturbed her prior as they were probably petty thugs. Was Steve her murderer? Did they ever know who he was? I actually think it was that young man she was seeing walking down the road with. All the descriptions seem to fit him. He must have used Violet for friendship, and that not just stole the little pension money he had and did sickening and depraved things to her. So sad. May she RIP xxx

    One of the perpetrators of the Cromford robbery was finally caught in 2010 and jailed for 10 years after pleading guilty. I heard in 2010 the police had lost the original investigation file from 1985 and a prosecution was only possible because the BBC had archived the production notes for the Crimewatch reconstruction seen here and they contained sufficient detail to compensate for the lack of evidence from the police.

      Yes, I love checking up on old vehicles that have usually been sent to the scrapyard decades ago. However, every now and then I'll come across a survivor, a vehicle that defies all the odds. There's a van that is always parked in a car park not far from where I live. It's M registered in 1995 and it's still in use as a commercial vehicle!
      It used to be the case that you had to specify the registration, make and model to get a vehicle's details. Now all you have to do is enter the reg. It's really quite impressive.

      Hi Duncan,
      There's two websites that are particularly helpful for finding out data about vehicles. The first is vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/ just enter your desired reg and away you go. The other is hpicheck.com. The latter you have to pay to access but it provides more information than the former website. For example, HPI Check tells you whether a vehicle has been scrapped, written off etc. The former tells you when a vehicle was last taxed and MOT'ed but not what the current status is i.e. scrapped, written off, imported etc. There is also www.instantcarcheck.co.uk which is cheaper to access than HPI Check.
      Hope this is helpful.

    Britain had the highest level of violent crime in Europe in the 80s - easy to see it reflected in some of these cases. Interesting when you think that the criminals are now today's elderly. Back then, Britain had real problems because of mass unemployment, much greater alcohol consumption than there is now (which caused a lot of problems in itself), and a real undercurrent of violence throughout society. It was the era of football hooliganism and skinheads.

The BBC has a strong presence there, or maybe Avon & Somerset constabulary were keener to use Crimewatch. Alas all but 1 of the 5 cases remain unsolved.

With all due respect to the deceased I personally prefer Sue Cook over Jill Dando as the Crimewatch Presentator . R.I.P Jill taken before her time in a most horrible manner . Was it due to the nail bombing episode ???????????????????????????????????????????????

    The first one was mainly attempted armed robberies. They obviously weren’t doing it right then!!! 🤣🤣 joking aside it must have been very traumatic for the employees who were held at gunpoint. Luckily they didn’t kill anyone.

      Thankfully, those kinds of armed robberies are pretty rare now. CCTV, mobile phones, DNA, cash not being used anywhere as much, plus other technologies have made it a bit of a mugs game.

      You might be able to get in touch with your local police station (or perhaps a representative if you don't wish to speak with them yourself), and refer them to this particular episode of Crimewatch.
      You might be asked to offer particulars with regard to where you were living at the time you lost it, when you last remember seeing it, what you were doing whenever it was (knowingly) around anyone who might've in some way had opportunity to take interest in it.
      If you'd previously reported it at the time you lost it, then that should be included as well.
      Any possible witnesses should be mentioned too.
      There's always the possibility that forensic evidence may be obtained from you to "test" if it matches anything on the item itself, so if there's anything you think you don't want police collaring you for, maybe think twice!
