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.
Good, I can kill two birds with one stone and avoid both at the same time.
ONE more reason not to watch 😂
I know you’re hard up.
Both are shit
This will ruin Watchdog unfortunately 😕
Never watch it ..the music itself is a turnoff ..tom and jerry has more value
Not the same since Anne left
Let face it, the presenters are not really good... Anne Robinson was excellent...
I often watched Watchdog. I don't watch the vacuous One Show. Poor decision.
Matt Allshite
Washed up garbage
Oh FGS why not just get rid of it altogether? (Note the heavy sarcasm). Watchdog highlights important issues to a wider audience when other methods of complaining has failed. Just like Crimewatch, a v.important programme culled for no good reason. Why bother with the licence fee?
Not a good idea!
It was a bit dailymail rogue traders was good though
Wow really when will this happen, can't wait and what's the one show
Can't you bundle all your spirit-crushing, mind-rusting, formulaic cack into one show?
mattbakerfans What a shame
They might as well. It's been rubbish since Anne Robinson left!!!
Can it just replace it ?
Haven’t watched BBC in years..
DefundtheBBC
Is this a joke? this is a brilliant show, Hmm So now the only reason i watch the BBC will be for Eastenders and let me tell you that's going bloody downhill too, the sooner you are forced into adverts or a subscription model the better. What a joke corporation.
That show is so bad and dumbed down that even the theme tune wonders for why it’s still on TV. 🎵Why? Why? Why? Why? Whhhhyyyyy?🎵
god help us
They could do a mash-up of other shows, like Question Time and Till Death Do Us Part... Ah, looks like that's happened already.
First item can be an explanation of, exactly why we should have to pay the BBC, for the right to watch SKY TV?
Why? Is it because that show is already so much like jumble sale that adding some other random thing into the mix won’t make a difference?
Do people still watch scheduled television?
Im waiting for the new bbcqt and newsnight show call Clusterfuck
So its the Rogue Traders/Watchdog One show
Why don't they throw in Dr Who also?
Will they end up appearing on countryfile as well?
Wouldn't want accountability would we. Jfc
Just go to subscription and put a nation out of its misery....
They'll put the news on the One Show next 😂
Why not swap watch dog for the one show or remove Alex Jones who seems to have more of a Welsh accent and interrupts guests to make the show more about her since her return from maternity leave know wonder Matt Baker is getting out!!
And ?
Ah, I liked Watchdog. Can't stand The One Show.
Ground breaking. Any other ideas 💡? Maybe Watchdog should investigate the BBC.
Downscaling...🤔🤔🤔
Is the BBC now purposely trying to alienate itself?
That’s a very good Idea. Now I can miss both of them in one go.
So you're cancelling the Victoria Derbyshire show, and now this. Are there any more reasons I should stop engaging with you? Yes, please go right ahead and review the license fee!
More cuts
Watchdog is important enough to everyone to be a standalone show. Don't make it fluffy by making it part of the banal, lightweight One Show. So annoyed
What a mess... scrapthelicencefee
More cuts while we have to pay a higher license fee.
Will it be called the one dog 🐶
They should move Click and the travel show from the news channel to BBC1 in the one show slot
Who cares
Bad move. The One Show has a following because of the entertainment value of its content. It has a smooth runing formula that has worked from the start. There has to be a hidden adgenda by the bbc for this move.
So we go from my hedge looks like arch bishop Desmond Tutu to my tumble dryer burst in to 🔥 in the middle of the night. Sounds about right. 🙄
🔥
Even more reason to turn it off.
hate the one show loved watchdog so guess not watching either now well done bbc
As they are merging two shows I assume to save money does that mean Old Big Ears on motd is in negotiation with his contract and looking to increase his £ 1.75 million salary 🤔👍🤨😏
Maybe just make One long Show that lasts from dawn to dusk. I believe Chris Evans is up for it.
Brilliant idea.
Just cancel the nightly One show and save a fortune
scrapthelicencefee
🤮
I don't think anyone cares
Ruined then,a shame
Don't watch the one show ,so I will miss watchdog what a shame
I'm going to complain to Watchdog about this change
I take it this is an attempt to get people to actually watch the One Show?
More bbc tax abuse. Now the three misfits !
Oh good God no.
FFS
Reading between the lines.... more BBC cutbacks
What was it like?
It doesn't really matter, they're both rubbish.
Is this a clue as to who is taking over from Matt?
Which tosser came up with this idea and why. If the BBC is truely a ‘public service’ company, put Wathdog on throughout the year and take off the shitpile that is the One Show!
Like getting your money's worth? 😂
No one cares anymore
Defund the BBC!
Hopefully we'll see a redunction in the numbers of obscenely overpaid presenters.
shambles, first crimewatch and now watchdog, fuck the license brexit
How about get rid of the one show, or make it one day a week, like a One Show then have watchdog on more, which is a lot more informative, or even have a consumer show every night of the week and call it Today
Which means they're running it all year instead of for a few weeks a year . . . which is good for consumers isn't it?
Great, the BBC sinks ever lower and makes even more of a mockery of the price of a TV licence. The one show is garbage and now we get forced to sit through it if we want to watch a show we genuinely do enjoy. Time the TV licence was scrapped, the BBC TV line up is awful nowadays
Well I for one can't wait for the jarring moves between VTs on windmills and a company making profits on faulty car seats
Oh joy OneToMiss
On no!
What next, homes under the hammer 😂😂😂
To scare the elderly no doubt
Damn! What do viewers have to do to avoid Watchdog?
But The One Show is utter shit, so effectively no more Watchdog. Bad move.
Perfect. I never watched either of them.
