I have I think, used it to map my own maturity; seeing in each monthly episode my levels of paranoia and courage quite clearly. I often think of the show when I see vaguely odd things happening, noting a face or an outfit in case I am asked to remember it.
On my first day living in Charminster, I went out to buy a can of beer after unloading all my possesions, and on the way I couldn't miss what seemed to be a large scale police/ambulance operation, in between me and the closest shop - it turned out it was the filming of a reconstruction of a rather twisted murder that happened here a few years ago. The guy is still at large, and apparently drinks at the Richmond pub. Police can't pin it on him they say.
I have started a series of images that I have created with Crimewatch in mind - it is a sort of photo-essay on my enthusiasm for the show. I am hosting it on Facebook. (Click the image below to see the album)
