On a budget day too.

Why leave it to Crimewatch? Just get the important info out now!

Expect to see crecheman live in the studio explaining why he was walking backwards to Christmas while holding a child in an uncomfortable position and looking for a lost blanket. On the table: a pair of child's pyjamas which Kirsty Young will hold up for the nation to see.

Old Andy will be hunkered down at HQ and Kirsty will be shooting the crap via video link about how there's always "hoop". She will then blather on about Gerry telling her off-camera that statistics show the younger the child when taken, the more chance of it turning up one day.

Meanwhile, behind old Andy's head, the inky backdrop begins to ribbon and form an image of hell freezing over.

His face will still be pixilated. Crecheman has to be a man of mystery. So mysterious that he does not exist.

Nay, a man of International Mystery.

Funny how this is all cranked up a gear since Goncalo's interview.

What I really want to know is: why the close up of the duck on the swimming pool in the CW recon? I want Andy to reveal why, in the German version, the camera lingered a bit longer than the UK version and the duck was lying dead on its side.

I want answers.

This is the blurb for tonight's Crimewatch. No mention of Madeleine - must be a reason for the last minute inclusion.

BBC Crimewatch
19/03/2014

Duration: 1 hour

The Crimewatch team present the latest crime news and appeals.

Five years on from the disappearance of Claudia Lawrence, police reveal new information about her movements before she went missing and appeal to find two vehicles seen in the area at the time.

Also, after January's programme aired footage of English Defence League protestors rioting in Birmingham, dozens of viewers got in touch. This programme shows what happened when Crimewatch cameras accompanied the police to track down the suspects.

Plus new crimes caught on camera and a fresh collection of wanted faces

IMO they are giving Goncalo Amaral the finger.

A phone call to the papers could have saved a lot of time because that's where those stories originated from.

Scotland Yard have had three years to appeal for info on previous abduction attempts. Why are they suddenly shoving this on tonight's Crimewatch at the last minute? Amaral or the libel trial? It has to be one or the other.

Apparently police are hunting an attacker that attacked 12 British children between 2004-10.

by SixMillionQuid 19.03.14 12:28

It's happening on Twitter. This attacker has broken into apartments in the Algarve and only attacked British children.

So, does this predator only attack British children?

by SixMillionQuid 19.03.14 12:30

Assaulted 5 British girls. Obviously the Portuguese police are covering things up or we're dealing with a Nationlist paedophile.

When did Hewlett die again?

Yes by the looks of it. He's probably racist too.

Well Mr Redwood could direct himself to back issues of The Sun and other similar publications. All of the creepy men stories have been well documented over the years.

Alternatively he could give Kate a call. Didn't she tell us she had letters from sympathetic almost victims of the burglar/abductor/creepy man and she had come across relevant information during the course of her translation work / investigation ?

I do hope he is not too shocked when he learns the statistics for child abduction in that area are probably shockingly close to zero. That should sink in circa Christmas 2024, in time for a new message from Kate.

Yes Hewlett died in 2010

South Australia time is 10.5 hours ahead of the UK; Crimewatch airs at 9pm UK time which is 7.30am for you. Sweet dreams...

Halfway through this rampage he managed to dispose of the world's most famous child without leaving a trace, but he continued to attack British children until 2010.

I sincerely hope that all those of you on this forum who still truly believe that this £7 million-plus Scotland Yard review-cum-investigation has not been a blatant, deliberate and sinister cover-up and sham from the word 'Go' on 12 May 2011 - nearly 3 years ago - are encouraged by tonight's appeal for information on claimed abduction attempts that took place up to 10 years ago.

Or whatever new dramatic 'lines of enquiry' or 'revelation moments' they come up with.

Please don't blame me if your hopes are dashed once again.

Police probing Madeleine McCann's disappearance are seeking an intruder who sexually abused five girls in Portugal between 2004 and 2006.

Detectives say the attacks happened in holiday villas occupied by UK families in the western Algarve.

Madeleine was three when she disappeared in May 2007 from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Algarve.

We are lead to believe by Mr Redwood that the Portugese police covered this up? I cannot read these tweets any other way.
12 attacks on British children and nobody said a word...until now.

by jeanmonroe 19.03.14 12:49

NO FORCED ENTRY

'VALUABLES' TAKEN (MONEY, PHONES ettc)

ALL PARENTS WERE AT HOME (UNLIKE MCCANNS)

SIMPLY GOT UP AND LEFT

IAN WOODS POINTS OUT, SEEM SIMILAR 'TO' BUT VERY DIFFERENT 'NO ATTEMPT TO ABDUCT'!

BREAKING MADELEINE MCCANN NEWS:

Evening Standard, a few minutes ago:

Hunt for sex fiend who assaulted five young British girls on holiday in the Algarve

Detectives probing the disappearance of Madeleine McCann revealed today they are hunting a sex fiend who assaulted five other young British girls on holiday on the Algarve.

In a sensational development, Scotland Yard announced officers are investigating 12 potentially linked crimes in holiday resorts near to where Madeleine vanished in 2007.

In every case a man broke into mainly holiday villas occupied by British families -—and in four of them he assaulted five young white girls aged seven to 10 as they lay in bed. On one occasion he assaulted two girls in the same villa.

Many of the attacks were between 2004 and 2006, which was the year before Madeleine went missing from her bed in a holiday apartment in Praia de Luz. The most recent break-in was reported in 2010.

Police say that while the crimes are not identical, most are similar. There were no signs of forced entry, nothing was taken and the intruder appeared between 2am and 5am.

Most of the offences took place in the low season and on two occasions people reported hearing the noise of a bin collection lorry nearby.

Detectives believe that the suspect may have been in a villa looking around “for some time” before committing the offences.

In some cases the parent or the child woke up and disturbed the intruder but police say the man stayed calm even when confronted.

Of the 12 cases, two occurred in Praia de Luz — where Madeleine was staying when she disappeared — four in the holiday resort of Carvoeiro and six in the Vale da Parra and Praia da Gale districts west of Albufeira.

Detectives believe there could be more cases of similar crimes where victims’ families did not bother to report them to police. They urged those people to come forward and released an image of a distinctive red T-shirt linked to the hunt.

Madeleine was three when she vanished from her holiday apartment as her parents Kate and Gerry dined at a nearby tapas restaurant with friends in May 2007.
