BBC to make Watchdog part of The One Show

The long-running consumer rights show will no longer be a standalone programme.

Matt Allwright, Nikki Fox and Steph McGovern have hosted Watchdog from Salford since 2017

Watchdog began in 1980 as a strand of Nationwide, but proved so popular it became a separate programme in 1985. The BBC said they would investigate viewer complaints all year round rather than for two series a year.Alison Kirkham, controller of BBC Factual, said Allwright and Fox would"continue to be the viewers' trusted guide", and would"achieve even greater prominence and success" in raising awareness of consumer rights.
