At the tennis

On a date at Wimbledon with some unsuspecting old dear (and of course he's chosen to watch the ladies).

Dressed like Lecter

Sloping off round the corner, a straw hat pulled over his head. Not having an old friend for dinner perhaps, but certainly willing to offer a free consultation.

In Tesco's

A great place to pick up ladies of a certain age

On Songs of Praise

Lying low with the Truro Cathedral Choir. Does he realise he's been spotted? He doesn't like the look of that camera.

Narrow escape

This was a frustrating near-spot. But he's clearly there, pretending to read his newspaper.

On BBC food programme

Here he is, popping up on some food programme - but looking trim for it. Reader Mike, who got him to pose awkwardly for this snap, has this tip: don't try the salmon mousse.

The doctor will see you now

Excellent spot by this eagle-eyed reader from Scotland. Sadly it looks like his number's up - he's been clocked.

Attending a science conference

He wouldn't have missed this chance to mix with the other great scientific minds of his generation. Is that him on the right trying to cover his face?

Aha! A few decoys in the crowd, but those joke-shop glasses won't fool anyone. 

And then, like that... he was gone

Contributor James writes: "Moments earlier this was a picture of Shipman on a bicycle." No points.

On his bike

Spotted at Shadwell underground station, though the picture is a little blurry. The contributor, who wished to remain anonymous, notes: "I was trembling with nerves at having found him."

Happy Eater

Good attempt at misdirection here, but the wily old cove's seen through the cover-up. No point teaching him to suck eggs.

Thinning on top

If this sighting can be confirmed, then he's losing some of that handsome thatch that made him such a ladykiller.

Relaxing at home

Shipman posing as some kind of respectable weapons expert. He can't hide that distant, haunted look however.
