I
first took interest in this show when I saw a few clips on Facebook when Lycett
replied to spam e-mailers to see how far he could take them. It’s a shame that
this wasn’t made the bulk of the show; he could have even made the public join
in with his campaigns if they’ve received similar stuff. Instead it’s a
self-styled consumer show where they respond with dark humour to issues
that Watchdog don’t. Although their response campaigns are very amusing;
they seem more like time wasting exercises in my eye and very rarely achieve an
actual result. There are also unnecessary guest campaigners on the show; merely
big names who read pre-researched facts and do very little to have their own
uptake on the show. There’s also Mark S who’s treated as a god but does very
little other than press a few buttons and reads a few deadpan lines. His Halifax
and Burger King sketches are great to watch, but there needs to be
one of these in every episode. I would watch a second series but the format
needs to be adjusted somewhat.
