Dirty Tricks of the Tradesmen

Episode 3

Duration: 45 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One HDLatest broadcast: on BBC One Wales

An audacious hidden camera series with Chris Hollins. An acting rogue tradesman tries to rip people off in their own homes using well-known con tricks to show us all how easy it can be to be taken in.

Roger turns up the heat about a pretend carbon monoxide leak, in the home of Lancashire business-woman Joy. Will she pay him a fortune to remove the spiders' nest that he claims is blocking her boiler flue? He has more hot air in store for Berkshire social worker Stephanie - but she subjects him to tough questions when he tries to fumigate her bathroom as a cure for her mouldy ceiling.

Plus, our cameras are present to catch the conviction of a Bristol driveway rogue, whose tradesmen ploughed up people's driveways when they'd gone out shopping for the day. Show less
