http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04j5j8g

DURATION: 1 HOUR
A special edition of Crimewatch marking 30 years of crime solving.

Since its first broadcast in 1984, Crimewatch has appealed for help with thousands of cases, including most of the major crimes of the past three decades; from the bombing of the Grand Hotel in Brighton in 1984, the kidnap of Stephanie Slater in 1992, the murder of James Bulger in 1993, the murders of Lin and Megan Russell in 1996, the shooting of 11-year-old Rhys Jones in 2007, the disappearance of Madeleine McCann in 2007, the disappearance of Claudia Lawrence in 2009 and the murder of Joanna Yeates in 2010.

To date, Crimewatch has featured over 4,500 appeals including 758 murders, 339 rapes and 926 robberies. Every UK police force has appeared on the programme. The types of crime featured have been incredibly diverse, ranging from money laundering, kidnapping, hijacking, paedophilia, people trafficking, drug dealing, rioting, terrorism and drug dealing.

Crimewatch's impressive track record shows that around 1 in 3 cases featured lead to an arrest with 1 in 5 leading to a conviction. Given the appeals usually relate to harder-to-solve crimes this demonstrates the remarkable impact of Britain's armchair detectives.

Alongside new appeals, reconstructions, wanted faces and CCTV this special programme looks back at many of Crimewatch's biggest cases and hear from former presenters Nick Ross and Sue Cook about their years at the helm of Britain's biggest crime show.

The programme also returns to meet some of the relatives and survivors of Crimewatch appeals past to see how their lives have moved on. Amongst those featured are Kate and Gerry McCann, Shaun and Josie Russell and Sally Anne Bowman's father Paul.

Well appearing on it in the past has shown the McCs in a bad light.  wonder why theyre appearing,  ill answer it myself of course its for the "search".  wonder if theres any more e fits hanging around private investigators desks. eta spelling

Shaun Russell's wife and child were murdered....Paul Bowmans daughter was murdered....the mccanns ....what...



Moved on....the mccanns say their daughter was abducted and is alive ..how can they move on...how can anyone who has has their child abducted...move on.

Maybe they're going to have arrests live on air as a program highlight, seeing as it's a special edition?

We can hope, anyway.

As soon as Gerry McCann made that phone call to the British Government, which was more important than looking for the daughter he and his wife said had been abducted, he and his wife moved on. Safe in the knowledge that now the British Government were involved and had begun colluding with at least one person from the Portuguese Government, no one would ever touch them.

Anyone who disbelieves me, only needs to look at the facts, they speak for themselves. The McCanns are walking about free as birds, while poor Madeleine, is wherever she was placed by one or both of her parents, or someone known to her parents and with her parents blessing.

Now that would be worth watching!!!!

I notice the programme is billed as "marking 30 years of crime SOLVING".  Let's hope they have solved the mystery of Madeleine's "disappearance",  handcuff the "guests" and drag them away kicking and screaming.
