Rip Off Britain(2009)

Rip Off Britain is a BBC One consumer investigation series that exposes scams and unfair practices affecting British shoppers. Launched in November 2009, the show is presented by former news journalists Angela Rippon and Gloria Hunniford, with newsreader Julia Somerville joining from series three. Each episode investigates real cases of consumer fraud and exploitation, offering practical advice to help viewers protect themselves. From series two onwards, the programme was restructured into tighter 30-minute editions, moving to a prime-time Friday evening slot. The series combines hard-hitting journalism with accessible consumer guidance, making it essential viewing for anyone concerned about dodgy deals and hidden charges in everyday transactions.
