John Waite returns with a new series of six programmes in which he and his team of investigators peer under official carpets, behind company smoke-screens and through bureaucratic red tape on the trail of your complaints. The programme sets out to pursue not only individual allegations of injustice, sharp practice or the abuse of authority, but also wider issues as a result of which the lives of ordinary people may be damaged by the actions - or complacency - of others. Producer GRAHAM ELLIS Editor KEN VASS
