Superb first programme in this stellar series! So much intricate detail to fllow, and excellent police work. In the days when they didn't insult the intelligence of viewers as in today's repetitive and infantile scripts.
Thanks for the uploads. I didn't know about Crimewatch File until this week. I enjoy its low-key, slow pace, without dramatic music and fancy graphics.
I like the show too but everyone cracks me up when comparing these types of shows with the same of today. I read your comment and the “No dramatic music” part right at :13 seconds. 😂
After serving his sentence, David Croke went straight back to a life of crime. In 2002 he was employed by a businessman to put the frighteners on a man who was suing him. Something went wrong and Croke ended up murdering the man. he was jailed in 2002 for this and hanged himself in his cell in 2010.
@Edward Burgess I worked on hoogs place in Uckfield. He owns half of Brighton. Proper dodgy geezer. But he's a muppet. No morals whatsoever. The skinny old runt couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag. I really wouldn't be surprised if he disappeared without a trace, or was found with his nut blown clean off his scrawny shoulders one day.
@@jimmy66603 He is living in Zimbabwe currently as he invested a lot of money over there and in with all the right people so has his ass covered. Plus a set of armed bodyguards around the clock.
@23:53 He was seen in 1986 then parked his car in 1987 then was seen walking in 1986. Something's not right here. Hey, where's my time machine gone?? Peace Crimewatch viewers, stay at home, keep safe and watch Crimewatch Uk during this Corona Virus epidemic. You know you love it.. I know I do
Peter Gwynn (21 min approx) was also in charge of Operation Turkey, which took place in Woolwich in 1987 and was the subject of one of the "Flying Squad" documentaries (which is also available on RUclips, uploaded by TMEYEUK).
Those "gangster's girls", like Dolly, who go from one crim to another like that, actually live off the proceeds of the crimes, yet face no prosecution whatsoever when the lads go down for it. In those days, they continued on on the outside, not charged with anything at all, and with all of the profit and proceeds from the crime(s) still at their own disposal.
how any criminal could work with barret knowing he was grass in the past ,is beyond me.grassing is a life long habit once bitten means it can occur again at any time
jp79 jp I’m glad he’s a grass don’t care if he’s a peace of shit if you lie with rabid dogs hopefully they will turn on each other and rip you to peace’s . Serve them right they are all wankers
Thanks to darren nichols... the supergrass in the essex boys murder case where three men were shot in a range rover, two men have been locked up for over 20 years on the words of darren, there is no evidence to say they did it, they still protest they're not guilty to this day if they would have admitted their guilt they would have been free by now ! If you ask me there is nothing worse than a person who lives a life of crime and then turns on everyone he called a friend by grassing on them, not only that he has ruined his childrens life by basically putting a price on his name.
@@Aaron-um6jj same here. Cars all look the same now. Back then, you could tell what make and model of car it was, just by looking at it. You could tell a Ford Escort, Sierra, Fiesta or a Vauxhall Cavalier, Astra, Nova etc just by the shape of it.
There used to be a super grass wing at HMP Bedford , it was certainly there un 1982 . Apparently it was only big enough for about 4 prisoners , though normal prisoners didn't get anywhere near the Wing which was located behind the gymnasium . It was closed down due to fears that the grasses were vulnerable to possible sniper attack from the multi storey carpark about 200 -250 metres away across Tavistock street .
My guess is it's probably like a wing of travel lodge a supercat D wing, Or perhaps like the zero drug wings In prisons today you know tested every day for drugs and have your own key to cell well they did in strange ways
I read his wife was married to Charlie Kray and whilst married to Charlie Kray she was having a long-term affair with George Ince and that Charlie Kray's daughter was really George Ince's daughter.
thanks for uploading I can't get enough of these reconstructions I think in this one the police are too sentimental with Barrett this is a guy who is described as looking the business in endearing terms when there's an innocent guy face down handcuffed in the back of a van and orchestrating having a family handcuffed and tied up overnight it must have been terrifying and they hoped he would get a lighter sentence a lot of his information wasn't admissible in court anyways
@@crystallineblue4344 hello sorry i did learn punctuation i studied English language at a level in the UK and got an A it's just how I type on the internet I am sorry if I offended your grammatical sensibilities not an intended outcome of this post Martin
These lads were crazy to include a supergrass in their team. Even had they been successful in the armed robbery attempt, at any and every moment, from that time onwards, the grass might well inform on them all. (!) .....add to that their likelihood to inform on any other crimes, people, and things that they know about once in their inner circle. I'm certainly not encouraging, nor do I condone, armed robbery (especially as a career choice), but, surely the lads knew better than, with full awareness, include a known supergrass among their ranks. That, to me, eludes all understanding.
That’s not a West of Scotland accent and neither is Galloway.s - Gorgeous catty George’s accent is some made up pretentious crap no idea what this guys is here they do sound similar but West of Scotland maybe this guys is genuine - George is just a cat 🐈
@Redcard74 I have just binge watched every CW File uploaded by yourself and MR James over the last 24 hours , thank you for many episodes that I never viewed previously , do you know how many CW File episodes were actually produced as they were much better than the later CW solved shows, From a prior CW uploader whose channel got blocked few years back, Many Tnx!
Croke killed himself in prison in 2007. He was convicted of a murder which he committed in 2002 in collaboration with Robert Knapp, a cellmate during his time inside for this job, on the instigation of the property tycoon Nicholas van Hoogstraten, of a rival to Hoogstraten's property empire.
Sue Cook was H. O. T! With a capital ‘H!’ Just like Jill Dando (RIP), Fiona Bruce and Kirsty Young. Why did they ever need Nick Ross, Rav Wilding etc when CW had those 4 lovelies?! ☺️☺️
Eh somebody tell me why there’s a year difference between 2 cctv videos Kees jumping between 1986 & 1987 but it’s supposed to be all in real time? Wtf?
Why has red card only have 14k subscribers…where are the millions of British ppl that grew up watching crime watch from the 80”s onwards etc…?? You can’t beat this sort of telly,..

True
Ýep , SPOT ON !
From a time when we did not apparently need constant reminders of what has happened and what is to come in a television programme.
Dead right. (I'm looking for a gift for my aunt!) 😣
hate that shit

taken too soon...
Wooooooow
Croke was apparently sleeping on his sisters sofa after he came out of prison, penniless and friendless.
This particular crimewatch file is superb.😉
Yep seems all the women do

Definitely. One of the best episodes they made of Crimewatch file.

He had cracking taste in cars... Audi GT Coupe and Mk2 Golf GTi - they were cars back in the day.
makes a change to herts/essex boys and the usual rusty dagenham bins lol
Hell yes and Sierra sapphire cosworths.
Haha yeah!
I prefer the Mk 1 Golf GTI myself. With the Pirelli alloys of course!!
This was very exciting! Thanks for uploading these.
Peter Kay was spot on. Crimewatch was better years ago.
Much appreciated RC74. I love these CW special's.
Only issue I have with these CW's is that the people are all so civilised and controlled, nobody looses their cool.
They're English
Thats just our temperament.@@mirriulahwaterdog
For sure, but after watching many crime shows on youtube one thing stands out - humanity is the same worldwide. The Good, BAD and Ugly@@CARLIN4737

He was especially when they used to meet for drinks in Soho
Ive waited so long to watch this again. I knew both Alan turner and Dave croke. We couldnt believe it when it all came out
I assume that they have been released now?
@@redcard7475 dave croke killed himself in prison for another offence.

How many times do you need to comment.

Me too.
Same here.
Thanks
43:33 As well as being a double supergrass, Barratt appears to be wearing ladies tights
futureisgosub the coppers seem a bit in love with him!
yes over his head?
A real look back in time
In America Super grassing is known as Plea bargaining .
Not sure if you're joking but not remotely the Same. Ones ratting your associates out the others pleading down your charges for a softer sentence
In England we don’t care.
If you think crime doesn't pay go to Costa Del Sol and Algarve and see how criminals live over there..!
I not very well since the European criminals have moved in they don't stick to the rules

Hilariously similar! Wonder what his cat impression is like
It’s called having a West of Scotland accent mate 😃
That’s not a West of Scotland accent and neither is Galloway.s - Gorgeous catty George’s accent is some made up pretentious crap no idea what this guys is here they do sound similar but West of Scotland maybe this guys is genuine - George is just a cat 🐈
One of the Detectives reminds me of Edward Woodward in Callum
Presented by the legendary Sue Cook. Slight error in the description there.
Thanks have just changed it
redcard74 happy new year!
Thanks!!!
All that's missing from Donnie is a uniform.
All those gangsters Grass on each other their is no loyalty among thieves
Not all of them
Croke never said a word even when he knew Barrett was telling all.
Anyone have the link to the Crimewatch Facebook page? I’ve tried searching for it a couple of times with no success.

Does anybody notice the police footage of the cars and people meeting for the robbery .the dates change on the footage by a year !
Utterly compelling tv

were they not gathering evidence from different-but-linked crimes over a period of time ?
What is a super grass.
An informant with credible criminal connections and knowledge of crimes. A "grass" is English for rat/snitch hence the term supergrass.
Where are you redcard
Phew that was close 🤦😬🙄😁
Why is everyone in this doing a weird accent? It's like watching Iranian Trumpton voiced by Swedish actors.
Proper grass 👊🏻
Why has red card only have 14k subscribers…where are the millions of British ppl that grew up watching crime watch from the 80”s onwards etc…??
