This is the correct address.

Let's hope that this and all the other letters from concerned people are actually read, rather than being assigned immediately to the bin.

Indeed.
First of all I must state that it's a very well written piece, which is why I hate to quibble over anything.
But as you say, the length ......

The Crimewatch team will be getting huge amounts of mail over this, and also on other projects they're working on. I doubt if anyone there would have the will or the concentration span to go through such a comprehensive piece. It's a crying shame, but it's the way of the modern world.
And given that the prog is to be broadcast on Monday, I doubt whether they would be in any position to change any of it, save for the 'live in the studio' elements.

I think Cadaver cat has served his purpose, but no doubt the good quality wristbands will be on full view!
