Not fiction - but fact:
The programme which asks you, the viewer, to turn crimefighter. Serious recent crimes are dramatically reconstructed -the police provide the evidence to date, you could provide the leads they need.
This month, the discovery of the body of a young mother that has turned a missing person inquiry into a major murder investigation; a half-million pound robbery with the help of a child's mask; and a shotgun execution on Guy Fawkes night under the cover of fireworks celebrations.
Sue Cook and Nick Ross will be waiting for your call. Police officers
David Hatcher and Helen Phelps report on the latest crime news from the Incident Desk. Backing them up, investigating officers man banks of telephone lines, and local police forces round the country will be standing by to act on information received.
If you can help, call the Crimewatch number, [number removed]from 9.25 onwards.

Will Ronald Reagan , at the age of 73, become the third United States President since the War to win a second term? Or will Walter Mondale achieve a historic reversal in fortunes?
