- The 100th edition of the show - currently we have 98 of these on youtube - anyone with February or December 1992 (we only have the update for December) - please help.
Sue Cook and Nick Ross present. Cases include the murders of Larry Burt in London, although he lived in Margate and Wendy Speakes in Wakefield.
Plus a look back at the previous 10 years - most of which is now on youtube!!
Poor Larry. Sounded like a really decent guy. Sadly this happens every day somewhere. Society is an awful place.
My mum worked with Larry at Hilger in Margate he was there a long time. He was such a lovely guy and it was such a shock when he died. Mum just saw me watching these old Crimewatch episodes and told me about Larry so I searched it and here I am.
She doesn't do TH-cam but wanted to rewatch it as she remembered how upset she was about it.
I was only 7 at the time so had no clue. It's mad seeing Ramsgate, Margate towns in the early to mid 90s.
It's amazing to think that 25 years ago you coukd travel across London with no trail. Now you are tracked from leaving the train to reaching your destination. London has the 2nd highest amount of cameras in the world
Your smartphone does a lot of criminals in. Tracking yourself even though some are too dumb to realise.
I find it comforting. What with CC TV and our phones it makes crime far easier to solve.
@@sophiejameson4064 Not always dude !!!!
@WhatHappenedToSociety Crime as happened then still can occur undetected, the digital age is NOT the panacea of all our woes dude !!!!
@@IanP1963 No one said it was Ian, but it is far more difficult to get away with murder now than it was back then.
The actress who plays wendy speakes was later one of the bar staff in phoenix nights
29:34 that efit of the killer Christopher Farrow is remarkably accurate to what he actually looked like.
This episode was on here a while before. The Wendy Speakes murder was solved in early 2000s.
You know what makes me angry? The BBC didn't even do a special send off episode (like this one with the 100th show) for when they cancelled it last year. They have no respect for their own history, but thanks to Redcard and Andy these are never going to be forgotten.
too busy ramming diversity down our throats and pandering to ethnics while trying to sweep all its paedophiles under the carpet in unison!
@@dazauto1400what's wrong with you
@@kartelosei6247 Nothing
@S W think u have...
You're correct - run by 16 year olds !!!!
Wish I could remember the year I saw a work colleague on incident desk. Shocked me to the core. He was arrested the next day for a completely different crime
what fascinates me about the reconstructions is that you can see how life in the UK was back then. For example, the streets, the exterior and interior of houses, the cars.
People say life was grim back then, but it isn't much better now in my opinion.
Places did look darker and dirtier then, there has been a lot of public realm improvements in our big cities that have helped
@@BossySwanNot quite everywhere. I live in Glasgow, and often find myself wondering when the nuclear holocaust occurred, and how the hell I managed to miss it.
@@Compleme_Cunm true
Every era certainly has its problems. Violent crime was actually substantially higher back then. It had gone through the roof in the 80s then took a further leap with the recession in the early 90s. I think the biggest problem with the mid 90s is that the country was really starting to creak under the John major government. It wasn't really until the Blair government a few years later that things started to pick up and the cities got a lot of investment. The sad thing about the era we live in now is that we've gone backwards.
The reconstructions are dire … acted for the most part by Woodentops. In the later ones, they were overlaid with inappropriate ‘music’ and dreadful, frenzied editing..
Thanks Redcard74, always reliable and consistent, good evening to you all crimewatchers, hope you're all keeping warm, in this cold weather......💧❄❄❄🌊🌊☔☔
This is my favourite program crimewatch
@@amandajanemclaughlin4133 have you checked out The crimewatch files. It's brilliant. Shows how all the pieces were put together to solve the puzzle/crime.
thanks and everyone this is a fab episode .
Keep up the good work redcard 74 you make my evening 👍
Larry sounds lovely. A man full of life and interests. A great loss.
A REAL TRUE ECCENTRIC THEY WERE FAR MORE AROUND IN MY DAY !!!!
He looked warm, friendly and creative. Someone I could be friends with. Tragic.
As nick ross ses don't have nightmare and don't sheep well
@@stanmarshthedarshnick ross dose ses do have nightmare and don't sheep well
@@Mark-th6hq You’re trying too hard Mark, just relax lad
5:11 That's one epically-long train!!!! Could have a travelling town's worth of people on there.
“Stuart Marshall was on his way to work at Harrogate Turkish Baths” - no comment
It’s full of dirty old scrotes try to get clean.
Cheers RedCard74! Evening everyone!
At least the Town of Ramsgate Pub is still around !!!!
The Landlord is a friend of mine.
Feb 26th 2022 is 28th anniversary of Lionel's sad case, he sounded a great guy - may he RIP!!!!
Same days as in 26th/27th Feb 1994 !!!!
The programme on ITV that Nick Ross mentions was called Crime Monthly. It started around 1988 and lasted until roughly 1990 and was on the third Thursday of the month, and in its early days was hosted by Paul Ross (no relation). They used to use a lot of the cases already featured on Crimewatch as their format, it was a clear copycat show in my opinion. It was Paul Ross who said "don't have nightmares" in that one episode, I remember watching it - and oh the outcry in the papers the next day LOL
It lasted a good few years after that, I think 96 actually. There are around 80 episodes, I was in talks with ITN archives to purchase them but they wanted £95 per episode. This was a good few years ago so maybe they have dropped the amount. I think there are a few episodes floating around on youtube.
@@MJ-bb8op I wonder if ESSEX BOYS murders are on one of them, can't see them on CW !!!!
@@IanP1963 yes they are. You'll find a couple of clips on TH-cam of CM and Essex boys
@@MJ-bb8op CM ?
@@IanP1963 Crime Monthly mate
you would think Wendy's killer had played himself in the reconstruction. uncanny accuracy.
Love these reconstruction 👍👍
I do know this is completely off point but I just had to say...
D.C Jackie Holmes haircut would fit in 2023. Hard to believe considering this footage is 29 years old.
Love these old episodes
Poor Larry continue to rest in peace sir
4:33 - the first crime committed against Larry, daylight robbery. Even in 1994!
Does seem expensive for a " cheap" return. Although wages are not that much better now 25 years later. Wouldn't surprise me if wages have barely out paced inflation since.. you can bet the train fares have though. Maybe £40 fare now
Yep 15 pounds then for a 'cheap' day return was very expensive !!!!
Good work
I wonder if there is a memorial for Larry of any sort, on a bench etc, in Ramsgate ?
Why would they do that 😮
What a wrong decision by the BBC to axe this great show.
The breakfast time show is good but different. It should be a peak time show.
Low Viewing figures and social media makes a lot of appeals easier and quicker for the police.
Also, it's technically not axed as it got changed to Crime Watch road show/Live and that's still on air but not as often anymore.
Donks at Beeb these days - couldn't run a bric-a-brac stall in a cow field Lol !!!!!
@PO Boxx The world has completely changed and so has crime. 99.9% of the crimes featured in the 1980s episodes would have been solved by the police in a matter of days these days without the need for appeals to the public like this. You need only look at how quickly they caught the killer of Sarah Everard recently. A show on the 1980s format just wouldn't work these days, because crime and crime detection just isn't like that now. CCTV is everywhere. Mobile phone data gives location and message history. DNA technology is light years ahead. We can't live in the past.

Do you have the full episode of May 1996 available?
Poor Wendy was planning on leaving the area too. Never got the chance. Tragic 😔
Amendment to description the second reconstruction was for Wendy Speakes in Wakefield , not Wendy Knell.
Thanks, changes made.
So only 2 missing in 100 shows, amazing.
glad someone knows as i was lost what episodes u think ?
Which 2 are missing?
February and December 1992?
@@CatLowe50 I'll have another search for those two. Did I upload any of the Updates from those two months? I can't remember now.
@@ajs41 yes, you uploaded the December update I think
That Larry Burt murder was bizarre having seen the reconstruction before. Mad area that Wapping.
@trafficlight9199 on a random note I need to go The Town of Ramsgate pub
Homophobic murder for sure
@@oliprj8676 not so sure I think Larry met another bloke who murdered him in a sexual liaison
Very odd they never got the killer given his all the things that were stolen and the killer left his scarf behind.
@@paulmannion1852 Surely there's DNA on the scarf even now ?????
23:53 In a strange coincidence,shoe fetishist Christopher farrow who murdered wendy was a printer as well
That thought crossed my mind too.
At 16:07 that poor jag owner has some work to do prior to motoring away .
David miles is your announcer for the 100th edition
I don’t care.
Scot Arms Wapping is apparently demolished now - sad another great British Pub gone !!!
Old China Ship also gone
@@damoclark9874 Sad - a little bit of England goes each time but as long as they can build posh flats for the new elite all is well - Lol !!!!
@@IanP1963 Everyone of every generation has to eventually face up to the fact that the people and world of our youths disappears. Everyone dies off eventually and is replaced by new generations who want something different. New technologies come along and change everything. It's amazing how few people grasp that. You can't live in the past - everything goes eventually.
@@damoclark9874I know the Old China Ship … the landlord was a friend of mine.
Wendy Speakes...same policeman as on Julie Dart in 1991.
Watching this whilst enjoying a few cans of lager & changing strings on a guitar....the way to relax😏
How lovely 😊
What type of guitar please I play a good air 1.🎸🎸🎸🎸
Relax mode means not too highly strung eh?
@@nicolar6461 Nicolas u r beautiful 🌹
Two door mini getaway car ?
15:04 it's Bob Carolgees
He obviously couldn’t take Spit the dog with him on the robbery that day as that would have given the police a clue 😂
@@09weenic 🐕😂😂😂
@@09weenicIt’s often him. He could have taken the lesser known, but equally relevant Cough the Cat instead.
Weird they always ask people to get in touch with them. Even with CCTV images they've no clue who it is or their address. Very odd.
I assume they hope that anyone who recognises someone will know their name and perhaps their address.
sadly seen this one would like to know what happened to the first guy thoe if any one knows :-)
Larry burts murder still unsolved after nearly 25 years
17:56 One of the robbers was last seen in an underground bunker in Germany…😅😅
Don't have nightmares
An utterly crass and meaningless hackneyed catchphrase. He also wears a wig.
The Barry Stubbings murder at 10:46 still seems to be unsolved. The man he's with in the CCTV is dressed very much like rent boys used to dress back then. Spitalfields is of course very close to Liverpool Street Station, and all of London's major stations had a lot of rent boys hanging round. Police later said that they believed the man in the video was indeed a male sex worker that Barry had picked up. Barry apoears to have been very well off, and it was reported that he was earning £150,000 a year in his city job - a very substantial amount of money in 1994.
Any chance of a 2nd tonight Redcard? :-)
Hes uploading almost 6 months of Crimewatch a week as it is.
evening all
It’s four in the morning.
5:56 TH-cam Vlogs before the internet!
Poirot at 18.18
If it was Poirot every murder on CW would be solved !!!!
5:59-6:08 Larry's pants change color. From black to blue and back to black.
Look again his blue sock is over his trouser
Jacqui Haynes what a stunner
She gave me a stauner 😂
I wouldn’t kick her out. But then again, she probably wouldn’t let me in!
@@09weenicGet in the queue, please.
@@YJB8CCFCYou have absolutely no chance, chummy …
Her name is Jacqui Hames.
10:34-10:40. Talk about awkward! 😂
7:03 does anyone else think this is creepy, the camera angle from ferry filming victim as it sails past?
No - because it's the reconstruction of the case dude !!!!!
@IanP1963 😅 👏🏻🙌🏻
I think it's Charlie Chaplin. 😁😁😁@ 18.30
15:10 it's a shame the useless driver didn't hit the Mondeo in front....she nearly did in the reconstruction. It may have drawn a bit more attention to the area lol
Larry Burt in London, few miles up the road, Paul Ince got a late equaliser as Manchester United drew 2-2 at West Ham. Few miles south, Charlton beat Watford 2-1 in the old First Division.
So there should have been shit loads of people around the east end that day.
@@oliprj8676 Depends which part though !!!!
It doesn't show Larry boarding train with his bike🤔
Good point, strange to take his bike after what happened. Unless is wasn’t the killer who took it
@@Peter-ix1ym I meant it showed him going on train without a bike at start of reconstruction! Why was it strange - he didn't know what was going to happen Chris.
I’m referring to the murderer or someone else taking his bike. I know what you meant about the bike on the train.
@@Peter-ix1ym Oh l see - sorry. What's your take on this case?
I’m not sure Ian, very strange. Seemed like a good bloke who probably wouldn’t be up to anything illegal. Maybe he witnessed something and they killed him so he couldn’t report it.
I want the top 10 best armed robberies.
They are all the same, gets boring after a while.
Is that because you are in some or all of them?
Been to the Town Of Ramsgate a few times.
...........and ?
@@IanP1963 just saying mate, I didn’t post it so a twat like you would comment.
I’m sorry to hear that.
showing all the great results ..so why not bring it back ?
Yes, with hosts, Rylan Clark and Katie Price. Big cash prizes too!
16:04 stock sound effect 😂
21.15 mrs hardman off mpaa
No April 1994?
Yep just watched it !!!!
Im Brilliant.
And so modest.
Poor Larry 😢 how horrible. Was anyone convicted? (I'll google in a minute!).
That poor man touched & enriched so many lives whilst making the most of his own. May He Rest in Peace 🙏🏻🌹
Update: still unsolved but his murder has been linked to his gay lifestyle 😞
wendys killer soon to be a free man
11:58 Geoffrey Strike (75) was convicted of the crime in 2021.
Thanks for the update. Just googled the killers name and found the BBC article.
Pete carrott
My brother Dean went on a date last night , he still isn't back it's the following morning I hope he hasn't killed her
Girl what?
I think Larry went meet another man maybe dating site met wrong man
Doubt a dating site, its in 1994, bloody hell, people were just about getting used to Microsoft word! 😄 🤣
@@souldiscovery1238 Could have been via contact mags or video dating. I reckon the police would probably have discovered that, if it was the case.
He must have met someone or had seen them in the past and they killed him for reasons unknown. Can't help thinking that they can get dna off the scarf if they looked
@@souldiscovery1238😅 👏🏻🙌🏻maybe he was also appearing in a Back To The Future Film! 😉
Another jewellery robbery? This is getting boring. It is one of many in the last few episodes. So boring and predictable.
Much like nearly every CW shows yet another Securicor van being held up.
The way the guy ran out of the shop, bumped into the guy and sped off. Talk about making yourself obvious. 🥸
