Rip Off Britain is a BBC One series which exposes Britain's rip-offs and helps consumers. It began on 30 November 2009, presented by former news journalists Angela Rippon, Gloria Hunniford and Jennie Bond. Newsreader Julia Somerville replaced Bond from series three. It has two spin-off series, Rip Off Britain Food and Rip Off Britain: Holidays. Rip Off Britain Live is shown for a week twice a year.

Format

The presenters investigate viewers' stories of being ripped-off, expose some of the rip-offs, and seek answers and, where appropriate, refunds or compensation. Numerous consumer experts advise consumers on their rights in short films within the programmes and at "Pop Ups" around the country. Experts include Simon Calder, David McClelland, Kate Hardcastle, Sylvia Rook, Helen Dewdney, Adam French, Gary Rycroft, Sarah Pennels, Paul Lewis and Martyn James.
