I was in yorkshire the other day and i thought Crime stoppers was only HTV! But i was doing some northen searching at my uncles and found another one without any ITV logos on... will be up hopefully soon!

Oh god I can rememebr when I lived in the West Country region... this used to scare the shite out of me! hearing the theme tune and looking at all those mouths was enough for me.

Like this if you left the room scared for your life when you heard the theme tune...

Well because times have changed I suppose, TV has changed

I used to run out of the room whenever Crimestoppers came on. The music scared me so much and the e-fits of the suspects even scarier. The music would be a good horror film soundtrack.

This used to scare the hell out of me as a kid too. Even worse was that it often came on just before the childrens programs on itv. As a 6 year old waiting to watch Knightmare or whatever this was pretty grim stuff. People getting assualted, raped and mugged under bridges and in alleyways and the music is still enough to make me shiver..

It's funny how they never seem to advertise on telly anymore, considering how crime we have suicide bombers and threats of global terrorism

@blkslondon Ugh, and me, I couldn't stand them. Eventually I got wise to when they came on and tried to get out and make sure I couldn't hear the sound from the TV!!

The opening theme used to scare the shit out me to.

I think I know who this lady is, is there still a reward??

Agreeing wholeheartedly with the posters below.

Crimestoppers came on commonly during my younge age from about 4 years old to about 7 or 8 (before cable tv). These adverts still bring a chill down my spine based on my memory. The pics of the criminal were always depicted in a way that made them scarier looking and the bloody music played at the beginning terrorised my childhood.

Theres a crime stoppers episode on one of my old tapes and the photo fit is a spit of Owen Wilson! he,he. He was probably 12 years old or something then though.
