This programme really does seem to have become more like an episode of Hollyoaks than a serious attempt at catching criminals.
Everything is backed with incidental music, a rape scene on tonight's show was backed by a Latin influenced beat, making it seem like the Countdown music, like it's challenging the rapist to ejaculate before the da-dun, da-dun, da-da-da dun, beewww!!!
A rozzer stressing how important it was to catch these sex-pests was backed by an 'Our Tune' piano piece as he looked solemnly into the lens.
Almost every suspect on the programme is black or Asian, it's almost as if white people don't commit crimes worthy of being mentioned on TV, and they really do. Half the features are about crimes that have already been solved. Point of?
As far as I can see, it has two key messages:
1, Crime is cool. You get drum'n'bass playing from nowhere when you steal a car. If you rob a bank some cod-Nine Inch Nails track will spur you on as you do a runner. If you want to rape a girl, some Latin rhythms will help you get all sexy.
2, BE TERRIBLY, TERRIBLY AFRAID. ESPECIALLY OF THE BLACKS!!!
Very silly.
