Re: Consumer TV Series on television

Pam Finnis, managing director of one of Britain's biggest care home firms, goes undercover to investigate standards of care. The private care home industry has been plagued with problems. Last year, scandal-hit Southern Cross - then Britain's biggest care home operator - collapsed under £50 million of debt. HC-One stepped in and took over a third of the homes. They now care for more than 10,000 people across 241 UK care homes, and the woman in charge of the day to day running of the company is Pam. Ex-nurse Pam finds going back to the floor tougher than she imagined. She discovers one home is in need of urgent refurbishment; breaks down when she hears how her staff struggle to survive on their low wages; and is upset to discover overstretched night shift staff unable to respond immediately to residents' calls for help. But Pam's also inspired by dedicated employees, some of whom choose to work on their days off in order to spend more time with residents......

Disabled or Faking It?

Panorama investigates the government's plans to end the so-called 'sick note culture' and their attempts to get millions of people off disability benefits and into work. In Britain's modern welfare state, millions are being paid to private companies to assess sick and disabled claimants but is the system working? Or are new tests wrong.....Linky: BBC One - Panorama, Disabled or Faking It?

Re: Consumer TV Series on television

Cheers for that 5corps I spotted your post just 5 minutes before the programme started. I'm going for a walk now to cool of for as a few of you are aware these Spammers/Cold Callers really make my blood boil.

If It was the last job in creation, no matter how desperate I was I would never work for someone like Horizon Finance.

Makes me feel like walking into their call centre and introducing them to Mr Pain

It should not be allowed. Just goes to show that organisations like TPS that are financed by the industry they are employed to police are just another scam in itself.

When are the folk we elected going to realise that none of the so called regulatory bodies actually work.

It needs an organisation that can walk soft and carry a very big stick.

I would put my own name forward if I thought anyone in charge really gave a damm.

Rant over, dogs to walk and head to cool down.

Regards to all, Handy

Re: Consumer TV Series on television

Personal finance expert Harry Wallop investigates whether cutting up our credit cards and paying for everything in cash could leave us with more money in our pockets. Exclusive research for Channel 4 reveals how families are now realising the value of a 'return to cash', drawing out more from cash machines than at any time in the last five years. But that's not what the banks and credit card companies want us to do - so is the move towards a cashless society more about the banks' profits than the convenience of financially-stretched consumers?
