Watchdog

Series 1 came from the studio - https://youtu.be/3wg-6oic8KI

But series 2 came from the production office. When Anthea had her accident on the first show of that series, it must have been a very fraught production, not least because the production team had to be in shot.

The new series is coming from Salford. Looks like Sophie Raworth is no longer a presenter.

Also lost Michelle Ackerley by the look of it as a presenter.

Salford's got to be better than the makeshift thing outside Broadcasting House. Rip Off Britain is a Salford production so there's already a team working on consumer affairs there

Steph and Matt are a good presenting combo if they can strike up a charisma together.

Let's hope its coming from a proper studio and not those stupid plastic domes outdoors like the last series.

Looks to me like the show has lost its way in recent years and is no longer made with care, every series seems to be a complete relaunch of either look, style, half the presenting team, each time trying to be more modern or current with daft stunts such as the broadcasting house tent.

Rip Off Britaln, Watchdog / Rogue Traders and The One Show are all made by BBC Studios Topical and Live department, based in both London and Salford.

It's too watered down now, especially now there are other shows like Rip Off Britain. Do one show like Watchdog and cover more subjects and you don't then need the other shows. Spreading it all over several different shows does it no favour.

And it should be on all year round, same goes for Points of View. If a problem comes up at the wrong time of year, it doesn't get coverage!

And Crimewatch.

And Crimewatch was year round till recently.

Though monthly not weekly, and scheduled slightly sporadically. Think it was around 10 shows a year? Not sure the number of shows per year has changed - though by producing them in blocks there is presumably a cost saving in production team terms?
