As long as there is crime and bacchanal in this country, Ian Alleyne will be here to stay. I think Trinis love the Crime Watch show mainly for the bacchanal element Ian Alleyne brings wherever he goes! I have watched the show once (Because I had nothing better to do with my time) and I think Ian Alleyne focuses too much on himself rather than the crime in this country. Trinis have given him too much power and we need to focus on reducing crime rather than making it as entertainment and giving jobs to people, who desperately need attention like Ian Alleyne!
I cannot stand the behaviour of this man. It is so disgusting and the people who put him in a pedestal as well. He seems to believe he is above anyone just because he has a TV show and a few fools recognize him in the street.
Yesterday, I was watching Crime Watch only because I could not see TV6 online. During the show, Ian Alleyne broadcasted a kidnapping of two children in the Sange Grande area was later determined as a fake kidnapping on the TV6 Beyond the Tape show. One must wonder if anything is being employed for ratings on Crime Watch since more people are watching Beyond the Tape.
I was watching this program today only because I could not get access to Beyond the Tape, which I prefer. In the space of 3 minutes they showed the very graphic image of a decapitated body around 5 times - is that really necessary? Is it for shock value?

Title: The crime TV show
Comments: We actually need more local crime reporting shows on our TV. It would be interesting to have a weekly show covering crime within districts as they are reported. This could be of great value to communities and may help in the general fight against crime on this island.
If Ian Alleyne had the popularity he once had before Beyond the Tape then I would have said for sure he could secure a win but now I don't think so. The Sheriff get replaced by the inspector.
