Interestingly it seems ITV have decided to carry on with the 'Manhunt' show after the pilot in December 2006.

And I have to admit I find it more 'interesting' than Crimewatch! Less action and more in depth explanation, plus out of the ordinary crime coverage (i.e. the wireless network hacking)

I dunno, I think I prefer Crimewatch. They seem to have more experience in the issues they talk about I think, considering they have been around for substantially longer and one of their own presenters was unfortunately shot.

Great to see this show back for a secound run. Good to see the same presenters on the programme and same presentation style. Interesting features e.g. Wireless networks. Different approach to crimes than Crimewatch. Glad ITV brought it back for another episode!

Great to see former Scotland Today newsreader Sarah Heaney back on-air again, she seemd to be the most pleasant thing about the show though.Looking great as always but in a sense you can't beat Crimewatch no matter how hard ITV tries.

I've not seen this programme before, but people seem to speak highly of it.

What does worry me is the general inference from the title that only the male part of the populace are capable of serious crime.

Oh dear. Only 2.8m viewers though.

Beaten by BBC2 and Channel 4 and only 0.2 ahead of Five.

Compared to the last Crimewatch's overnight ratings, which were 3.7 million, so nearly a million less. I watched Manhunt, but got bored and ended up watching the F-Word, which I can't stand.
