Rip Off Britain

2017 Live

Episode 6

Duration: 44 minutes

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

Angela Rippon, Gloria Hunniford and Julia Somerville launch a special week of the popular consumer series, live from Glasgow, with reports and updates on big stories making news, and viewers' questions and problems tackled on the spot.

Among today's investigations, the team exposes how one of the world's fastest-growing scams has bagged the people behind it an estimated £25 million in the last year alone - thanks in part to false claims that it is backed by financial guru Martin Lewis. Plus, are the latest ways of paying to park your car too clever for their own good? After complaints of mistakes and unfair charges, hi-tech payment systems are put to the test. Debbie McGee reveals her consumer secrets, and there is instant advice from the experts at the Rip Off Britain pop-up shop.
