Sue Cook and Nick Ross present. Cases include the murder of Wayne Taylor in Brixton, London. The robbery of the Midland bank in Merseyside and a country lane attack in Norfolk.
This was a great series, and it gave many people, clearance. .... My dear late husband, Tony and i, used to watch it every month. .... Sue Cook @ Nick Ross were the perfect presenters and they always looked classy and immaculate. xx

It saddens me when I look up these cases and discover that they are still unsolved. No one has ever been charged in the murder of Murray Erskine. I hope Erskine gets justice, no matter how many years have gone by.
It's great to see these again. Now and again I actually remember certain reconstructions from 30+ years ago, watching on a Thursday night once a month. Gripping TV.
Yes. Very bizarre that was chosen for a reconstruction - doesn’t appear that there was the slightest shred of evidence that there was foul play there. It was mentioned that Michael liked to explore the countryside so a tragic accident was always the most likely explanation.
i was told that a lot of criminals used to hide out living on the inland waterways because they could move police territories from time to time and since there weren't national databases back then so different forces didn't communicate with each other. so perhaps they thought it was one of their peers handiwork - grass etc.
I'm always amazed that they have SECURICOR on the side of the vans. Why advertise to would be robbers? Far better to just have a shabby looking works van that goes round the back to make it's collection. Anyway, me and my wife, both expensive jewelry collectors, are going abroad for a month now. Yours sincerely, Mr J Swift. 27 Rogerson Street. Plymouth. Thank you.
Look forward to getting in bed and watching the latest episode every night, thank you again Redcard, seems everyone is else is really enjoying watching too.

From the number of them that were attacked during the day it seems that wasn't much help either. Perhaps they were trying to mix up delivery times to confuse criminals. Clearly, it didn't work.
Yeah, fair play to the "quiz master" for getting up and giving it a go, but the pub really needs to take her to one side and tell her to put a bit more "oomph" into it. People expect a bit of showmanship.
Did they ever mention Michael Boulton again? I can't see any mention of him in June's episode (1990), yet a body was apparently found in a cave near where he went missing. I'm guessing it was him, poor kid.
redcard - much as I appreciate your efforts, I think you've published the description of "Crimewatch UK June 1990" here - and vice-versa. June 1990 reads: "Nick Ross and Sue Cook present cases including the murder of Murray Erskine in London, an attack in Palmers Green and the murder of Dr David Birkett in Middlesbrough, Cleveland." Which is accurate for THIS episode (May 1990).. Everyone's allowed the occasional error, though. :-)
Murray Erskine lived at 5 Norland Square which is almost directly parallel in the adjacent street in Notting Hill, with the home of Janice Weston whose murder was featured in a 1984 crime watch episode. Janice lived on Addison Avenue.
Another day, another Securicor hold-up. Somehow they lasted until 2004 when they were taken over by the even more incompetent Group 4 & G4S now has double the ineptitude.
They're virtually unheard of now. Far fewer people use cash, technology has advanced so much that the notes become stained and unusable and the thief gets covered in dye. Also, heard some criminals from that era talk in other videos about how the technological advances made those kind of raids a real mugs game - criminals realised they could make much more money from drug dealing and supply.
Jacqui Hames is just so wonderfully wholesome isn’t she. Credit to the police force. To think she had to endure the maelstrom that was the Leveson enquiry
She's like something out of an Enid Blighton novel. You'd think she'd be disgusted and confused by the horrors of crime in 90's Britain. Yet, there she is, hunting baddies.

when you watch these old crimewatch episodes you realise how easy it was to obtain goods and money illegally by using stolen chequebooks and credit cards, it would take the banks a lot longer to realise there was a problem. Also driving licences didn't have photographs so you could use a stolen driving licence very easily, these types of crime appear again and again in 80s and early 90s episodes

Murray Erskine's dinner date at 4:13. That was the night of the first all-seater game at Wembley. England beat Yugoslavia 2-1. Bryan Robson's goal was also the fastest international goal scored. (38 seconds)

Just started watching a series from the 80s 90s Called The Flying Squad(Sweeney) on You Tube it has a lot of the Detectives that appear on Crimewatch Cameras follow live transmission not reconstructions.

Did you hear the police say CP and that is familiar with the gay community. We know what that is short for. Wonder if someone was disgusted with his perversions.
