Angela Rippon, Gloria Hunniford and Julia Somerville unpick the door-to-door mattress scams conning households right across the country and investigate other purchases that viewers aren't convinced offer value for money. Lab tests reveal whether it's worth paying extra for a flashier brand of toothpaste - or whether the cheapest varieties will do the job just as well. Plus a bride unhappy at how quickly at her big name designer shoes lost their sparkle gets help to take her complaint further, and there's plenty of advice to make sure you end up with what you expected from every purchase.
