A lot of these programmes though love to scaremonger and will manipulate scenes to suit themselves.

Got round to watching this last night and it contained nothing at all which surprised me, which in itself is a sad reflection on how low my expectations were of professional and ethical standards at some of these organisations. I expected to be shocked, but somehow I wasn't. I was outraged at some of it certainly, but shocked? No.

What I was surprised at was the female experts apparent lack of scathing condemnation of some of the tactics used, I personally would have been far more blunt, but I suppose when you are on the TV you have to mind your p's and q's a little, and of course some of her comments may have ended up on the cutting room floor.

David is away at the moment, but he has also commented upon it via his blog http://mondo69.blogs.iva.co.uk/

I watched it last night as well. I was disgusted at the tactics, but having been on the receiving end of some of them myself, I wasn't surprised.

They know that not a lot of people have any idea of their rights or the law and they prey on this.
