Watchdog: Face Value
7.30pm BBC1
Alice Beer emerges from the shadow of Anne Robinson and the Watchdog programme to present a consumer series of her own. For the next few weeks she reports on all aspects of fashion and beauty including laser lift treatment, anti-cellulite tights and whether you can tell the difference between a £99, £195 and £995 man's suit.
One of the items in this first programme is definitely not for the squeamish as it features film of a 50-year-old man before, during and after a face lift operation, something men are increasingly doing in order to improve their appearance. The rest of the programme is quite safe to watch though, with model Mandy Smith getting advice on insuring her clothes, and a wrinkle- removing cream being put through its paces.
