Joe Lycett, famed for his epic battles with petty officials and dodgy scammers, fights for the consumer rights of the Great British public in this series. With the help of his assistant Mark Silcox, a weekly celebrity guest, and some daring hidden camera investigations, Joe campaigns on behalf of viewers who've been wronged by big corporations, caught out by small print, and hoodwinked by fraudsters. From dishing the dirt on unhygienic takeaways and battling with big banks, to pulling back the covers on sub-par hotel rooms, and taking low budget airlines for a bumpy ride, Joe is determined in his quest for consumer justice.
Kieskeurig was een consumentenprogramma van de TROS, dat werd uitgezonden van medio jaren 70 tot medio 1993. Het was naast Koning Klant het tweede consumentenprogramma op de Nederlandse televisie. Het programma werd aanvankelijk gepresenteerd door Mireille Bekooij en Hein van Nievelt. Na de overstap van Wim Bosboom van de VARA naar de TROS nam deze de plaats in van Hein van Nievelt en werd de laatste invalpresentator. Het programma was behulpzaam bij consumenten met klachten of problemen op consumentengebied. Ook vonden er testen plaats. Een bekende rubriek was 'Het wrak van de weg' waarbij een consument centraal stond die een auto had gekocht die niet voldeed. Het item eindigde dan bijna altijd met het wrak dat door een snijbrander tot schroot werd verwerkt met daarbij de woorden 'Die zien we nooit meer terug'. In 1993 werd het programma voor het laatst uitgezonden en later opgevolgd door het nog steeds bestaande consumentenprogramma TROS Radar.

"Street Cents," a teen-centered newsmagazine aired on CBC Television from 1989 to 2006, stood out for its focus on consumer and media awareness for young viewers. Created by producer John Nowlan and inspired by Britain's "Pocket Money," the series garnered critical acclaim, winning Gemini Awards and an International Emmy for Best Youth Programming. Ad-free like CBC's Marketplace, it prioritized unbiased critique of products and services, promoting safety, ethics, and youth empowerment. Despite its lauded inclusivity, the show ended in October 2006 due to declining teen viewership, leaving CBC-TV without youth-targeted programming.
