The geezer playing the robber played the the homeless man who makes victor and the vicar strip down to their pants in a christmas episode of One Foot In The Grave in the early 90's. He had a shooter then as well! Actually a very accomplished actor as well who has been in many things. Lots of un heard of actors done these sort of re construction shows before they moved on to bigger things. I hope david is living well now and is free of trauma.
Did you not watch the whole thing? The crime was solved. A man was caught and pleaded guilty and got 22 years. Either he's still in jail or he's been released and not re-offended.
Very strange how there is no information or old articles about this online; has a D-Notice been put on it? Be interesting to see a picture of Michael Harrold. Anyone finds anything please post a link.
I have just read a small article about a man with the same name who was in lifetime care and wad murdered by some woman who said it was to basically put him out of his misery she got nine years,,,just going back to see if I can see more on it
"Abusive vagrants", "dosser", "these cardboard city people". So much prejudice towards people who'd just seen their friend shot and must have thought he'd been killed.
Considering that he'd shot someone in the head, condemning his politically incorrect language seems quite the moral confusion (albeit a fashionably modern one).
homeless people are still part of the comunity...... and are just you and me after a turn of bad luck etc. they count , and are also soneones family member
you misheard this; the term they used to describe homeless vagrants sleeping rough is 'dosser'. Tosser means something completely different in England....

The murder rate in London peaked in about 2002/2003, which ironically was just when nobody was talking about crime in London because Tony Blair was PM and everyone was in an optimistic mood. The mood of the country and the reality of crime often don't match up. Everyone's very pessimistic about crime at the moment, but the London murder rate is actually pretty low at the moment. Less than 100 a year, whereas in 2003 it was 200.

When I was 18 working at a Target store in Minnesota, some 16-17 year old, bushy haired shoplifter evaded the plainclothes security guard when he tried to leave and he ran off through the parking lot. The corner of the parking lot he was heading to basically had a perimeter of very busy roads acting to trap him. I’d been there with the security guard as a witness and just got caught up in the moment and started off after him but the guard yelled for me to stop so I just watched as that dope risked his life zig zagging through 6 lanes of traffic on highway 394 to get away with his stolen CD’s. Probably best I didn’t risk my life for $40 worth of Vanilla Ice, Warrant and Skid Row rubbish…
" Their will be a nice little drink in it for you " , yeah right after the Flying Squad have taken their ' little drink ' ie ( 80 % ) out of the reward money !
David David why tho? I agree it wasn't heroic since the robber had already done the deed, fled still having the shotgun, shot several warning shots at the persuants, what would have been the purpose of apprehending him, such a tragic case.
To steal the bag. Stealing from a criminal is a different morality than stealing from someone innocent. It may not make sense but it is like an ethical code. I don't know him and don't know what he's like but I do know that this is a thing. Even when desperate there are ppl who won't steal, but they will rob a crook. It's different money like that
How amazing crime watch was then and not to mention Scotland Yard who were proactive because they didn't have one hand tied behind their backs as they do now. No to mention the off duty scotts guard who saved his life (real men)
hahah, you're joking? You've clearly never heard about the Daniel Morgan murder in 1987, or the subsequent enquiry which said the police in those days (and until now) were absolutely riddled with corruption, and the 1987 investigation into his murder had been deliberately scuppered by corrupt police. Let's not whitewash the past, eh?

Its a crime not to do first aid.
