BBC Watchdog : ウィキペディア英語版
Watchdog (TV series)

''Watchdog'' is a BBC television series that investigates viewers' reports of problematic experiences with traders, retailers, and other companies around the UK. It has had great success in changing the awareness consumers have of their purchasing rights and in changing policies of companies, closing down businesses, and pushing for law changes. It has the longstanding slogan "the programme you cannot afford to miss". The show has seen a variety of hosts and its new series is currently presented by Sophie Raworth, Chris Hollins, Matt Allwright and Michelle Ackerley.
It is shown on BBC One and is available for online viewing or download via BBC iPlayer.
==History==
''Watchdog'' was first shown on 8 September 1980〔(Nationwide - BBC One London - 8 September 1980 - BBC Genome )〕 as a weekly slot on BBC1's news magazine programme ''Nationwide''. Hugh Scully, best known for presenting the ''Antiques Roadshow'', was the original host. ''Nationwide'' ended in 1983, but ''Watchdog'' continued with its successor, ''Sixty Minutes''. ''Sixty Minutes'' lasted only nine months, and Scully left the programme at the end of the 1984 series.
''Watchdog'' returned on 14 July 1985 as a stand-alone weekly programme, presented by Nick Ross with Lynn Faulds Wood, on a Sunday evening.〔The Times (London, England), "Television and Radio" Saturday 15 July 1985〕 On 24 November 1986, ''Watchdog'' become part of the new BBC daytime schedules, broadcast daily at 8.40 on Mondays to Fridays. Ross was replaced by Faulds Wood's husband, John Stapleton, as co-presenter.〔The Times (London, England), Monday, 24 November 1986〕 The new husband and wife team was the first married team of presenters on UK television. BBC1 Programme Controller Michael Grade said the show defied the laws of television gravity boosting audiences for the launch of BBC Daytime.
On 15 November 1987, ''Watchdog'' became a weekly show once again, broadcasting on a Sunday teatime with a repeat the following day during the daytime. Lynn Faulds Wood won a Consumer Journalist of the Decade award.
On 4 January 1988, the series was moved to Monday, with a daytime and a peaktime broadcast,〔The Times (London, England), Monday, 4 January 1988; pg. 17〕 the show become even more forceful, investigating big businesses and conducting more investigative journalism. By January 1989 the daytime broadcast was dropped as the show was delivering audiences of up to 6 million in peaktime. The show achieved many multi-million pound recalls (cars, vans, ovens, puchairs, microwaves, computers etc.), recovered £19 million in overpaid fuel surchages on package holidays and regularly featured major name companies. As she was recovering from advanced bowel cancer, Lynn Faulds Wood left to make medical investigations for ITV's ''World in Action'' programme (e.g. "Doctor Knows Best" - 10.2 million & "Bobby Moore & Me" - 6.5 million)
When the 1993 series was taken over by Anne Robinson, ''Watchdog'' shifted focus slightly. Robinson was teamed with Simon Walton and Alice Beer, an assistant producer who was brought on as a link person between the consumers (on the phone in earlier years and e-mail in later years) and the main presenter. Beer left in 1999 and was replaced by Charlotte Hudson. Robinson followed in 2001 when she went on to front the British and American versions of ''The Weakest Link'', to be replaced by Nicky Campbell and Kate Sanderson. In 2005, the presenters were Campbell and Julia Bradbury, with assistance from Paul Heiney and Saima Mohsin. Nick Lawrence replaced Saima Mohsin as reporter in 2005.
Julia Bradbury briefly departed the programme on 16 February 2009, returning on 20 April 2009. During her absence, she was replaced by Anita Rani.〔("Asian journalist Anita Rani replaces Julia Bradbury as Watchdog host" ) ''Thaindian News'', 3 March 2009〕 Rani continued as a reporter with the programme in place of Saima Mohsin.
On 10 May 2009, a plan to relaunch ''Watchdog'' was announced.〔(Anne Robinson returns to Watchdog ) ''Digital Spy'', 10 May 2009〕 The new series began on 10 September 2009, with presenters Nicky Campbell and Julia Bradbury replaced by returning host Anne Robinson, Anita Rani, and Matt Allwright, whose show ''Rogue Traders'' is incorporated into the new programme. In 2010, Rani left the programme and was replaced by Chris Hollins.
On 30 October 2012, it was announced that a new daytime series would launch on Monday 12 November 2012 on BBC One.〔() Watchdog on Twitter〕 ''Watchdog Daily'' ran every weekday morning at 11:00am for 4 weeks.〔() Watchdog on Twitter〕
In March 2014, a daytime series called ''Watchdog Test House'' aired in a daytime slot. The show was presented by Sophie Raworth and former ''Watchdog'' host Lynn Faulds Wood as reporter.
On 10 September 2015, it was announced that Robinson would step down as host once again; this time in order to film a new series of ''Britain's Spending Secrets'' for the channel. Robinson presented ''Watchdog'' for a total of 15 years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Anne Robinson to step down from Watchdog )〕 Raworth was later announced as her replacement.
