Consumer journalism is a staple of the UK media and its development over time provides an illuminating device for exploring the changing attitudes of UK shoppers.
Presented by John Waite , this programme examines how consumer journalism has changed over the years and includes archive material on the American consumer champion Ralph Nader in the 1960s, and on more recent campaigners such as Anne Robinson and Esther Rantzen. There are also fresh interviews with people recalling the early days of Which? magazine and Good Housekeeping. Producer Bernadette McConnell
