The `Rip-Off Britain' team of Angela Rippon, Gloria Hunniford and Julia Somerville works on exposing and rectifying the nation's consumer nightmares. The presenters take submissions from viewers who feel they have been ripped off, and undertake their own investigation into the situation. From utilities and personal finance to shopping, housing, travel and charity bag collections, no potential rip-off is too small for their inquiring eyes and minds. The least they hope for is answers, but they also hope to restore consumers' cash when they can.
