On the run at Christmas

Great spot here in Antigua by Sam: Christmas in paradise, and who's to say he hasn't earned it. Notably he's the only one not wearing dark glasses.

Wearing a toupee

He looks a proper ladykiller in that toupee and tie. Which is more than you can say about Mr Jefferies (second from right).

At the Leveson Enquiry

Consistent with his views on the medical sector, he is understood to favour a 'light touch' approach to regulation.

Debating God on the BBC

Here he is, and posing as a man of God. Who next for the BBC? Jimmy Savile?

At the cashpoint

Enjoying a crafty withdrawal from someone's post office account there

On the Circle Line

Tremendous spot this - and showing great bravery on the part of the taker. We're pretty sure it's him

Meeting D:Ream

Here's Harold with members of D:Ream in both their 90s heyday. 

Two doctors on call here: a Doctor of Physics (right) and a Doctor of Death (centre).

At the British Museum

In this grainy snap, he looks to be checking the film of a confiscated camera.

 Luckily, our quick-thinking contributor was able to bag him on his mobile - before spotting him again the next day in the Royal College of Surgeons.

Dr Death, meet Mr Death.

A relaxing punt

Spotter Anna in Cambridge takes credit here. And she can confirm that he's in no hurry to lose those pounds - not the way he did patients.

Piling on the pounds

Only the British Carvery or a British Burger will do for Great Britain's gold medallist of death

With the Olympic flame

A well-deserved lap of honour for the former GP

At dinner with friends

No wonder the lady looks uncomfortable. She's been on edge ever since she saw the seating plan.

Directing traffic in Leeds

Doing some well-earned community service on the Dewsbury Road outside the Junction Pub, Leeds. Note that, yet again, the police leave it late before acting.

At Baron's Court tube

Excellent sighting here, despite those dark glasses. In fact they just give it away.

On a corporate video

Good to see the doctor letting his hair down, and belting out 'Oh Happy Day'

In the Royal Box

Heads are going to roll about this one. He's moved straight in on that old lady.

Out for a stroll

Britain's greatest serial killer enjoying the great British summer

Discovering the Higgs boson

A sense of joy and fulfillment he hasn't felt since the hospital governors took him off night duty.

At Buckingham Palace

The grinning killer collects his OBE. How quickly people forget.

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.

Looking shifty

Spotter Ian admits this is less than compelling evidence, but assures us this was a reliable identification - despite the hat and the hidden face.

"He turned away after spotting a middle-aged lady across the road," he sighs.

Hipster Shipman

Scampering off to some media event in Soho, putting an old bird to flight as he does so. For old times' sake.

Bowling with the boys

A rare carefree moment, caught on camera

Lookalike competition

The height of cunning - turning up to a Harold Shipman Lookalike Competition in Australia. He finished third.

"I did not kill your wife"

The good doctor considers a lifetime behind bars for a crime he did commit.
