The Watchdog  is being  put down

The BBC has announced that consumer rights show Watchdog will cease to be a programme in it's own right and will become a segment on The One Show. This means that it is going to back to how it started only it was another light weight news show Nationwide. Presenters included Anne Robinson, Nickey Campbell and husband and wife duo John Stapleton and Lynn Faulds Woods who became known for her abrasive door stepping and demostrations of harmful products. How long Watchdog surrives in it's new guise is anyone's guess.
